Sonny, your article about Compaq shipping their Proliant 6000 and 7000 series with Xeon chips in volume: this is really good news. The bug the article said is fixed, to do with ECC (Error Checking and Correction) was the second Xeon bug that held up the big four way and up multiprocessor servers from shipping. The first bug caused hangs (like your computer freezing up). Obviously, that has to have been fixed. So, both bugs are shot, and Intel can proceed to ship Xeons, Xeon based motherboards and Xeon based server nodes to more than ten big customers around the world. These include at least Dell, HP, IBM, Compaq (as we know), Data General, NCR, Bull, Hitachi, Fujitsu, Amdahl, Sequent and more. Intel chip ASP's should start going up big time as of today. Hope this helps us all Monday and beyond. Regards, Tony
