Tony - if they continue* to execute in moving off the desktop* Point well taken. Just looking at the shift in intel-based server hardware revenue in the last five years is pretty clear evidence - Annual sales of intel-based servers are larger than the whole PC industry was in 1993. The key here is the margins and price points. The ASP on CPQ's high end servers is over $25K, and many 4-way systems dress out at $50K. Customers have never balked at spending $5K to $10K for a single processor upgrade on those systems, even though a similar processor with an equivalent clock rate in a desktop box is a tenth of that price.
