Steve, Thanks for your help on my modem. It's good to have you posting on this thread. Have you considered buying Intel or are you still a non-believer. ;-) Dale

Re: "Would you buy a Slot 2 based system using a 440 chipset or would you rather wait 2 months and buy an 8-way capable system for a couple extra $$" Slot2 is intended for workstations as well as servers. I don't think many of us need 8-way systems on our desktops while a 1 or 2-way system may be just the ticket. For the highend, yes this will hurt Intel a little, no doubt about it. As for high profile slips, I guess it's what happens when you have high visibility. EP

Steve, Re: "Would you buy a Slot 2 based system using a 440 chipset or would you rather wait 2 months and buy an 8-way capable system for a couple extra $$ (well actually the same price by that point in time)." You could take a 1 - 2 CPU system now and test all your software applications, drivers, etc. against it, to make sure Xeon is 100% compatible. Later you could take an upgrade to a 3 - 8 CPU system, wrap up your compatibility testing, and then go on line with it. Happens all the time (start evaluation on a partial system and complete it on a full blown one, on the way to going into production). Tony
