Why don't you tell us about how the Sun Linux server was launched with an AthWiperJust like Barron's said it would be. Or perhaps how the next Sun Linux server will have a Hampster. 'Droids are AMD's best fabrication facility.

Itanium 2 system on the way from IBM By Ashlee Vance August 14, 2002 05:19 PM SAN FRANCISCO -- IBM used the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo here this week to flex its 64-bit computing muscle, showing off a system running on Intel's Itanium 2 processor and a version of its DB2 database for Advanced Micro Devices's Opteron processor. IBM has said it will support Intel's new Itanium 2 chips but has yet to announce what its systems will look like. Users at the LinuxWorld conference, however, could sneak a peak at one new server that will arrive later this year -- a system that can house 4 or 8 processors dubbed the x450, which was on show at IBM's booth. IBM also showed a 64-bit version of its DB2 database running on SuSE Linux AG's distribution of Linux and AMD's 64-bit Opteron processor, which is due to appear in servers early next year. The demonstration of 64-bit products based on Intel and AMD chips marks IBM's adoption of some of the freshest technology in the server world. Like its rivals Sun Microsystems and Hewlett-Packard, IBM has long sold 64-bit servers that run on RISC (reduced instruction set computer) processors and the Unix operating system. IBM is now adding the new 64-bit technology from Intel and AMD to its arsenal. The x450 was connected to a cluster of IBM servers running DB2 in a demonstration here. IBM would not provide the speeds of the Itanium 2 chips or provide further details about its Itanium 2-based systems. A spokeswoman did say that, "IBM will support Itanium 2 across its product line." IBM joins HP, NEC, Unisys, and others with a working Itanium 2 server. Dell Computer is the lone major Intel-backer not to have announced a server based on the chip, but one analyst said the company is likely to soon join the fold. "Everybody except Sun will have an Itanium 2 box by the end of the year or early next year, even Dell," said Nathan Brookwood, principal analyst with the consulting company Insight 64 in Saratoga, Calif.

<font color=red>-AMD scores victory with HP business personal computer Reuters, 08.19.02, 12:07 AM ET SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Considered by some an also-ran to mighty Intel Corp. and a scrappy competitor by others, Advanced Micro Devices Inc (nyse: AMD - news - people). has reached a milestone of sorts: a top-tier U.S. personal-computer maker will soon start selling a PC aimed at the business market. Hewlett-Packard Co. (nyse: HPQ - news - people) said on Monday that it's selling a Compaq-branded PC powered by AMD Athlon XP processors. Known as the D315, the PC model is aimed at the small- and medium-business market as well as the government and education markets, and will come with either the Athlon XP 2000+ and Athlon XP 2200+ chips.
