Ibexx, res-<<Glad I got out of NeoMagic and S3 last year.>> No kidding! Seriously though... I think this type of situation really shows the value of this forum. If not for all the news collection and various inputs from this thread, I would probably would have held on to my TRID. I'm really glad I didn't. Contrary to that article, I believe this move by Intel is going to have a major impact on the graphic chip business. And it's probably going to put another 8 dollars a computer into Intel's bottom line. :-) Michael

Ibexx - Re: Fibre Channel The following article - actually about HP and NT servers - mentions Fibre Channel storage - and EMC in particular. This may help with your investment search for Fibre Channel "beneficiaries". Paul {==================================} techweb.com HP Unveils NetServer For Win NT (02/11/98; 12:18 p.m. EST) By Joe Wilcox, Computer Reseller News Hewlett-Packard announced its second-generation high-availability NetServer system for Windows NT. HP continues to aggressively position its hardware for both NT and Unix, something it successfully did with its workstation line. "With the combination of its NT-based workstation sales and its Unix-based workstation sales, Hewlett-Packard was the overall workstation market leader in 1997," said Jay Moore, senior analyst for the Aberdeen Group, in Boston. HP, in Palo Alto, Calif., repositioned NetServer to more appropriately serve customers running mixed NT and Unix environments. "We have one of the largest scopes in the industry," said Christoph Jacquet, HP's product line manager for high availability. "Whereas Compaq focuses on NT or Sun Microsystems [focuses] exclusively on Unix, we offer the best of both in terms of choice." "Our cluster solutions have components that come from both [the NT and Unix] worlds, so it gives resellers additional opportunities to add value to their customers," said Jon Affeld, HP's product manager for clustering. "We have some resellers that are focusing on Unix and other resellers who are focused on NT. But there are a growing number with skill sets in both." The new system leverages HP's NetServer LH Pro and LX Pro series. The LH Pro and LX Pro series cluster configurations include HP's AutoRAID array technology and HP's ClusterView for monitoring and prevention. The NetServer LXr Pro system features a rack-mountable cluster configuration. The self-contained cluster solution supports a maximum shared storage of 252 gigabytes on RAID5. "We start with our NetServers as our foundation and the inherent features that are built into them," said Affeld. "If a customer needs more availability than that, we go to a multisystem strategy with clustering. Using Microsoft cluster server and the basic fail over, we get better levels of availability. And if a customer still needs more than that, they can go to our Unix systems and our Unix clusters." HP also is shipping its Model 30/FC Fibre Channel High-Availability Disk Array subsystem and EMC Symmetrix 3000 Series Arrays with the HP NetServer LH Pro and HP NetServer LX Pro and LXr Pro systems. The company said it also plans to better facilitate customers consolidating their mixed Unix system and NT by releasing new Fibre Channel and cluster configurations for the NetServer LXr Pro8 system later this quarte
