Duke, Re: "IBM's result on the TPC-C showed more than a 30 percent raw performance improvement over the previous best eight-processor results -- Dell PowerEdge and HP ProLiant systems both running Windows 2000 Datacenter and 900-MHz Intel Pentium III Xeons. The IBM system hit 92,398 transactions per minute on the TPC-C benchmark (tpmC). Dell's mark, set last August, was 69,901 tpmC. HP's result, published in February, was 69,169 tpmC." The performance with Xeon MP is "here". I'm willing to bet that it will be a long time before there are competitive products in this arena. wbmw
