Ten, if you still want to buy NVDA, we may be getting close. I am not sure how much of it you wanted but if today's low of $15.95 holds til the end of the day, I would buy half of what you wanted today. Then, if Friday's low and high is higher than today's, I'd buy the rest or maybe wait til Monday when the big boys are back in town. I am thinking of buying some for a trade later today. FWIW. ted

Ten re: I'd say, for instance, that if you need a supercomputer doing tons of floating-point calculations, a cluster of Itanium2 machines will provide the best performance-per-dollar. that is not completely clear to me. As a processor Itanium maybe a better solution for supercomputers where software support is not a big issue. But the cost of Itanium would very much depend on overall unit shipments - fixed cost business. OTOH p4 volumes are much higher. The other big negative for Itanium is that there is no alternative supplier. While intel may view it as a potential advantage it may actually work against adoption of ia64. -Albert
