Wanna_bmw, thanks for the info! I do not doubt that Itanium II will be a very powerful chip enabling extremely powerful computers. OTOH, Sledgehammer will bring high performance computing to a price range never seen before. Clawhammer will even bring 64-bit computing to the masses. This may turn out to be a compelling concept. Let's hope that the Hammer will not slip to 2003. Time to market may be crucial in this situation. Peter

wbmw, Re: <The HP system ran the “Reuters Structured Negotiation Capability” software, which enables buyers and sellers in a worldwide financial market to connect and trade with each other. The test showed that the soon-to-be-announced HP 4-way Itanium 2 server logged results that were four times faster than the 8-way Sun Fire 3800 server.> Does sun even still sell those things? What were the specs ton the 3800 they ran against? How would it have done against a 15K? -tgp
