You might have missed it on the link you sent: Intel Pentium 4 processor 650* with HT Technology (3.4-GHz, 800-MHz FSB, 2-MB L2 cache, SpeedStep®) http://www.intel.com/design/pentium4/datashts/306382.htm You would think they would tout it on their website...go figure. Maybe they have Sun marketing working for them?<gd&r> Of course Sun marketing is smart enough to mention something so slight as a 64-bit processor, but then, maybe it's because we can actually support the processor to begin with. Maybe HP was embarrased as all of their 64-bit x86 code was written for the Itanium? Wake me up when it resurects, will 'ya? But Solaris runs on EM64T anyway, it just can't use the non-existant hypertransport. -- Alan DuBoff - Sun Microsystems Solaris x86 Engineering _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
