Paul, Re: "We have standardized on [20 Dell] four-way Xeon servers (article)," "Looks like Intel's Xeon may have a big payoff in the not too distant future. (Paul)" That is good news about Xeon acceptance, especially since its rollout was not "squeaky clean". Hopefully, Intel has that behind them now with engineering changes that work. It also tells me that the groundwork laid by the Pentium Pro (and Pentium II) servers was solid and is a big part in continuing excellent Xeon acceptance by customers. I continue with my particular crusade that overall company infrastructure support provided by the server chip, motherboard, node, etc. vendor is the overwhelming differentiator, even including the CPU chip itself, when an OEM selects their main hardware vendor for servers. The short version of that is that the vendor is now, and will continue to be for a long, long time, Intel and only Intel. One of the Intel hate club called this thread the Sis-Boom-Bah-go-team thread or something. Maybe my post fits that, but, no matter, like the Yankees, they ain't gonna be beat. Tony
