Dan, Re: "Said the statement: "Intel is working closely with an Compaq and investigating a sighting they have reported in connection with a 4-way Itanium-based configuration. The root cause of this sighting has not yet been determined but we are both working to identify it." Continued Intel: "In the enterprise market segment, sightings at the system, software and platform levels are common. Intel works closely with its customers to thoroughly investigate all reported sightings." What is a sighting? "A sighting is any issue affecting the performance or reliability of an enterprise server system that is witnessed at the system, software and/or platform levels. Sightings are common occurrences and most are root-caused to something other than a silicon issue. If an Intel processor or product's behaviour deviates outside of normal specifications, a sighting may become an erratum." Exactly, Dan. The problem is with the Compaq platform, not with Itanium. Mike Magee doesn't seem to pick up on this, either, since he titled his story "Intel confirms Itanium problem", instead of "Intel confirms problem with Compaq Itanium Platform". wbmw
