news.com.com Upon re-reading it, I see I overstated it a bit. What he says is: "We worked with AMD to bring a higher performance version of the dual-core chip to market. So, this is actually a higher-power version, a 120-watt chip that they especially made for us. I guess they announced that they are going to also sell it to other people, but we're the only company that's going to actually ship this chip for a while into the market. This gives us one speed grade higher than what's available from anybody else." I also found this interesting, from another article: "'Until today, the thought was that a move to an industry-standard platform meant a move toward hot, inefficient servers, with weak management and a hodgepodge of system components. We're here to call an end to that era,' said Jonathan Schwartz ..." That "hodgepodge" line suggests to me their primary target is Dell. JMHO. Charles Tutt (SM)
