Yousef, I can tell you don't have first hand experience using a "department" server ... many departments have application that ARE run on the server. Good examples are E-mail (such as cc:Mail) or telephone/address directories. I guess you don't even know what a "department" server is. Your examples are in fact company-wide applications. When running applications on servers, mid-range performance CPU's from AMD and Cyrix just won't "cut it" I guess we must have been in the dark ages about 7 months ago, before introduction of P-II, since we were all stuck with (what are now) mid-range level processors that just don't "cut it". In fact, the world functioned just fine. BTW, how many AMD/Cyrix servers are there in the market, I rest my case !! I told you last time, not many. You can ask the same question about PC's. We all know what Intel's market share is. Joe
