<Limiting the discussion to true servers, not desktops being used as servers, I suspect that your guess may be a little light.> <This is just a WAG, but I'd say it's more like 60/35/5.> True servers therefore use more dual CPUs than I said? How about the count. I see reports all over the place. I suspect that the 2,000,000 number (below) are not your true server. How many total units are "SUN Class" Servers (SUN, XEON, large Pentium). Less than 1,000,000? I would guess that the total count in "True Servers" is less than 1,000,000 per year. My WAG about your WAG. Thanks for your input Eric. The devil is in the details!
