rudedog, Thanks for your insight. It is always good to get to the root of this type of technology issue as there is always so much BS flying. One additional question, if you please: >>The CPQ offering for a large scalable machine is a thing called "wildfire", also supposed to be a 4Q98 product. There has been little public discussion about this machine so I know little about the architecture except that it is a 32- or 64-way SMP in its first incarnation and later will go to 256 way. Wasn't Wildfire the system that EP demoed at their shindig here in Houston just before he was put on waivers? Based on what you do know or can make an educated SWAG at, how will Wildfire compare/differ from Alpha Himalaya?? Thanks, f
