JP,

Don't the 400's use the PC100 motherboard? If so that is a 50% increase from the current 66Mhz motherboards. That will make a difference in the server area, and as quicker CPU chips become available, couldn't the PC100 board be retrofitted to the faster chips, and therefore the life cycle be extended and effectively reducing the costs of the 400's?

Just my thoughts,

Regards,

Ken

Jim, Hardware is a relatively small percentage of the total cost. More servers generally equates to higher overhead. Scott

Wolfpack has been out for about a year, it is only a 2-node failover. The only company to do more nodes is Tandem/CPQ, they have the rights to do more nodes because they were a developer of wolfpack. they recently did a TPC-C benchmark on a 6 node cluster. MSFT does not plan to put multi-node wolfpack out any time soon, probably a year out at the earliest.
