Dan - You galdamn fool - Re: "So this high end machine is using low priced, small cache Xeons where it once would have used large cache Xeons." The point is - THEY ARE INTEL SERVER CHIPS - INTEL !! Only screwed-up screwdriver shops use AthWIper chips - and all they are doing is sticking a 3'rd party muthaboard into a chassis and calling it a "server". Reality is that Intel's Server business is expanding at a healthy rate, their technology is expanding at a healthy rate, and Fatwah Sanders the Turd and his little AMDyatollahs are sitting around praying that the always-sometimeinthefutureHamster won't be as big a failure as the AthWiper eMPty. How much money will MAD lose this quarter, Dannie girl?

So this high end machine is using low priced, small cache Xeons where it once would have used large cache Xeons. Do you have any experience with this class machine? The extra cost is considered almost trivial compared with the overall machine cost, but the performance improvement is significant. They will sell with 1.6 GHz, 1 MB cache chips as soon as they're available. You may not believe it, but Intel does a lot of customer surveying WRT specs before they develop a product. They don't come out with these server chip variants for nothing. You sound like a jealous pre-adolescent in this whole server chip thing.
