Ordered

Post #158,919 by broomberg 6/7/04 10:19:11 PM Reply	Ordered The IT dept manager is used to getting HP stuff within a week, I told her she'd be lucky to get it in a month. We split the difference, betting $10. She said it will ship within 2 weeks, I say over. Easy money. These things are on indefinite backorder.

Post #159,245 by tonytib 6/9/04 3:07:36 PM Reply	Well, for personal use, how about the Dual Opteron SFF? [link\|http://www.iwill.net/zmax/zmaxdp_1.htm\|Dual Opteron Small Form Factor PC from Iwill] Very interesting for a personal workstations. It'll be interesting to see how the 8-way Opteron servers affect the server space (especially if Dell stays Intel-only). I also wonder how much the motherboard affects performance. Tyan has a $1600 quad Opteron motherboard; it'd be interesting to see how it compares to HP's quad Opteron. Tony
