The Athlon would have made a good small (1 processor) server at the time, but few people put together any Athlon servers. The Athlon MP came out and go some good test results on Annand's site and elsewhere, and was no useful for dual processor servers, but I don't think it ever got a tear one SKU or any large market place presence. At the time "AMD fans" would talk about the benchmarks a lot but it didn't make AMD all that much money. Certainly they never approached 60% of the single and dual server x86 server segment, let alone 60% of any larger market (like all x86 servers, or all 1 or 2 processor servers). Even after Opteron came out it took AMD a bit of time to get over 10% of the market. Athlon and Athlon MP never had double digit market share in servers. Tim
