"A dual 1.8GHZ machine or a quad 900MHZ that costs twice as much?" Are you positive about "twice"? Maybe "tenfold" would be close? And why did not you mention Xeon's SPEC2000 scores in comparison with regular P4 ? - Ali

Dan3, Re: "You posted links to a bunch of EOL machines that run at less than 1GHZ!" You are such a moron. Why don't you read a little bit about those links. These machines are not EOL - they are 4-way and above systems that are still selling, not to mention selling at a healthy premium (and you can call up IBM, Unisys, Compaq, HP, NEC, Dell, or Fujitsu, and ask them if you don't believe me)! Intel owns more than 50% of the 4-way and above server market, and these are Intel's only CPUs that support >=4-way servers until Foster MP; therefore, these are CPUs that are selling bigtime. Hard to believe, isn't it? Intel is selling a bunch of 900MHz parts for >$3000, while AMD still struggles to get >$300 for 1.67GHz Athlon MPs. It's like magic. And I thought you once claimed that you worked with servers, so you ought to know this. I guess it was yet another of your pathological lies. wbmw
