Elmer - Re: " Seeing as NT runs on Alpha, it is clear that the Xeon based servers exceed even the 21264. Simply incredible." The Alpha - and eventually the 21264 Alpha - are excellent CPUs. However, they are extremely expensive and have been (up until recently) proprietary. The high volume/reasonable cost associated with Intel's x86 line make it a preferable platform for low to mid-range server functions. I'm sure Intel will be pushing into the UPPER END - now occupied by Alpha and Sun - with their new generation of Tanner and Cascades chips due out next year. Paul
