Joe, The way HP and Compaq are reaping profits with Itanium, my guess is that they will have a temptation start "anew". McKinley is coming. McKinley is coming. Brand new ball game. HP: "Itanium sales in the first 5 weeks (or something like that) will exceed all itanium sales to date." Btw, they are starting anew all the time, from Coppermine to Cascades to Tualatin, to Foster, to Foster MP to Prestonia. What's the big deal? Famous old saying among hardware engineers that really pissed off software engineers for decades: "Software is Easy". Check out the OS compatibility matrix for a Compaq server. For the magnitude of this testing alone, you don't start a new platform server without top managenment approval. Click on OS Support Matrix at the site below (left side) to get the pdf below that. compaq.com ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/servers/os-support-matrix-310.pdf Tony
