Duke, thanks for the article. Just wanted to point this out: People familiar with the situation said that IBM created what the industry calls a "chipset" to connect to the Foster processor, rather than waiting for a third party to introduce an industry-standard chipset. Vernon Turner, an analyst with International Data Corp., said that IBM's chipset works with the microprocessor so that the system is "balanced" with fast cache memory for temporary storage on the chip and enough bandwidth to use all the power of the Foster chips. In other words, IBM has developed its own chipset for Foster, passing on the oft-delayed ServerWorks chipset. Tenchusatsu
