It uses low-cost components. Open up an Intergraph WildCat or HP fx4 and look, and you'll understand. And I'm talking only about the value-add stuff...the operating system, memory chips, CPU, disk drive, standard peripheral controllers (the I/O core is different, but not the peripheral-facing chips), peripherals and OS are all "generic".

You'll have to be more specific on that one. "Modularity"
is a buzz-word that's used for almost anything.

> industry-leverage,

The 320 leveraged the introduction of the PentiumIII in a more effective way than any other product I've seen in the NT space (and has industry and application benchmark results to show it).

It's got hardware that's going to leverage Windows 2000 features even *before* the operating system is out ;/.

Well, that's a future-looking statement, not a fact.
