Charles, >>Tony, it's Dell. We get all our stuff from them. That'll work. ;-) Glad to hear they are shipping 1.26 Tualatins in servers. Tony

Charles re: your Dell What is your comfort level either dropping Kingston or Crucial sdram in those servers. The Kingston memory is four times the price of crucial, but still almost half the cost of Dell "branded" memory. FYI - in searching for the best solution that our vendors would support, I landed on the purchase of two Dell PowerEdge 2500SC populated with single 1.266Hz/512K cache cpu 128mb ram 4x 18GB 10,000 rpm U160 SCSI [raid 5 arrays] PERC3-DI primary ctrl redundant PS and a 20/40 in 1 box total for 2 servers $7,000 will add after market memory and 2nd cpu 2nd 1.266 cpu on Pricewatch as little as $360 same thing from Dell is $999 4 GB registered ECC PC133 ram goes for $656 from crucial [1GB sticks] From Kingston the price is $2,600 From Dell you are welcome to pay $4,402! I'm a droid whose blood runs AMD green, but lacking a top tier vendor with an Athlon MP solution, I had to go Dell/Intel. I'm just grateful .13 512k cache version of the chip is available. dave h
