Well apparrently 1500 Itanium2s sold in a single system!

Stop lying. Everyone knows Intel has to *give* them away, unlike Opterons
which sell like hotcakes through major OEMs.

That's why Intel continuously loses money while AMD is profitable.

Elmer, thanks for the info. I have been waiting for the next update to the top500 supercomputer list. I'll have to see what the details are this Monday. By they way, I also thought that this quote was pretty interesting.

"The big loser in the latest rankings is Sun Microsystems Inc. In November, Sun had 88 machines on the list, but that number shrunk to just 9 on the latest list, which means that Sun's ranking as a supplier of computers on the list has dropped from third to tenth place."
