Joey,

Re: "somehow, i think the sane corporations will stick with multiprocessor XEON systems."

For "server" type apps I am sure you are right.

However there are lots of engineering apps that simply require a fast CPU and multiple CPU's don't gain anything.

ALthough some mutli-threaded apps are just starting to come out.

And the software runs can take several days unfortunately so a faster machine is always good.

Regards,

Kash
