Bill: I haven't seen anything on CPQ. Do you have a reference?

Regarding "expensive", I don't think that is the issue. The cost difference to a server manufacturer is probably not significant. I understand that the RDRAM will not work well (or possibly will not work at all) in large memory systems. See, for instance, the following article:
