Re: "EXCERPT FROM PC WEEK ARTICLE
"Intel's 440GX chip set, for Xeon workstations, is not affected by any bugs, officials said. While it is technically possible to use the 440GX in Xeon servers, Intel does not expect system makers to do so, since it will not scale beyond two processors, and the price/performance benefits will be negligible."

Buckwheat, I'm not sure what your point was. You did notice Paul said one or two way Workstation didn't you? The 440GX chipset is a slot2 chipset so it won't work with anything but Xeon. Do you think Intel designed a chipset that they didn't expect anyone to use?

Buckwheat - Re: "and of course, immediately with no delay for one or two-way CPU workstations."

Workststations, Buhwhea, WORKSTATIONS!

Workstations ARE NOTE SERVERS, Buhwhea.

Repeat after me: Workstations are not servers, workstations are not servers.
