IIRC they did have some results disqualified, but
them these latest results have been submitted
since then - perhaps they will be disqualified as
well, once the facts come to light...

Yup, one of them is marked as NC.  But the other one is still there (and I hit
reload and even shift-reload).  So either you're missing the second one or
something is not behaving nicely with our web proxies here.  While I'd probably be
more inclined to believe the latter... ;)

Really?  I just checked and it's still there from what I see.  We're talking
about the Dell 8450/700 w/ IIS & SWC 3.0 result, right?  I'm hoping that
they're deemed NC, but I don't see it yet...

I haven't heard anyone talk about the fact that their 8-cpu numbers
got disqualified and aren't even mentioned on the SPEC site on the
main tables anymore.

Sorry, they are there in the table, but marked as NC.
