Re: "Maybe you can replace them with XEON workstations someday soon." Maybe. As soon as Intel gets all the bugs worked out. Kevin

Paul, Re: Steve - Re: "Hey I have 2 of those Intellistations.. cool ;-)" Still pleased with them? Yes very pleased with them. The nicest part about those machines is they carry scsi, ethernet and audio on the motherboard, leaving all but the AGP slot empty. It give you a bit of confidence that you can add toys later. Maybe you can replace them with XEON workstations someday soon. I think Xeon is a little bit of overkill. THe price vs. performance aspect of those CPUs is just not worth it. In addition I have some heat concerns about those CPUs (or more accurately the high-speed L2 cache) and want to see them running in the real world for at least 1 year before I bite. Besides if I ever do move to Xeon, waiting will hardly hurt the balance sheet ;-) Steve
