Hi Michael, The scale and scope of Intel's data centers could range from small centers with roughly 2,000 servers in place to larger centers with 5,500 servers. The number of servers per center blows me away. How does this all work (anyone)? Does a company like Yahoo have a separate hardware server dedicated to each application, like a quote server? So, if they have hundreds or thousands of different applications, can't think of a better word, they use hundreds, or thousands of hardware servers? Would seem to be more cost effective to use less, more powerful servers. Anyway, something new to think about for Intel investors besides just MHz, SpecInts and AMD! Tony
