Bosco, today is a great day for me again. After SFC showed strength last week, now my other holdings are performing nicely: CYMI, PCTH. Only waiting for NANO, CTU, COHR to commence. Some little trick: Buy Yourself a NEWEST AMD K6-200 (newest stepping). You could overclock it to the 280-290 Mhz range safely. That's what I count engineering excellence. Same goes to Pentium Pro. Sources told me that PPRO with 512k cache could be overclocked to 266Mhz minimum and the 1024k cache variant could easily go to 300Mhz even beyond. It's just that Intel doesn't want to create competition for the highend Pentium-II. But look again: the PPRO has no 512MB memory limit, unlike the Pentium II. I'm designing a server game plan for a midsize Internet-database connectivity solution. My game plan is using newest mainboards (ASUS P2L97DS) with the new 440LX chipset actually made for Pentium-II as servers. But instead we will employ riser cards to fit it out with Pentium PRO instead. We will overclock those to 300Mhz and should be able to reach a 10000-tpmc (You know those database benchmark tpc-org) with just 2 Intel CPU's. That's what I call efficiency. No UNIX, RS/6000 or Ultrasparc required.... HEHE.. Sorry about Your SYBS experience but that company looks sound from product & financial standpoint. I would say that SUNW had much worse cards for the future. But my hot-top pick in this field (high-end database) goes to SEQUENT. They are building ccNUMA servers on x86 (a commodity ! component) architecture. Stackup 30 with their assymetric bus design and You will blow all those UltraSparc & RS/6000 etc. down to hell. X86 wins again. Call that final assault. Ticker symbol is: SQNT On chips, I would not write off IDTI. They are making profits on their other lines PLUS they have the fab capacity. I would say their C6 still got some errors that got to be straightened out, but I don't have accurate info on this subject. I have info that their C7 will be the REAL competetive product. Fab capacity will be available in house, cost efficiency is even better than AMD, so this will be a very efficient design. besides this, HAPPY INVE$TING !! CROSSY
