<Servers will become commodities just like desktops before them, starting at the low end. You can see it happening already. People bye a K6-2 350 box for $500 to run a linux email server.> Gee, I must be validating server chipsets so that they can be used as an e-mail or print server, huh? Kap, when we talk about servers, we are talking about enterprise servers, the kind that host popular web sites, the kind which process transactions for e-commerce, or those which manage huge databases. I don't think you'd want your bargain-basement K6-2 machines purchased from Costco to function in these areas. Tenchusatsu
