Why aren't they announcing when it will be ready right now?
Because they don't know how long it will take to get it to work.
That was *so* lame. The scraping sounds I hear must mean the bottom of the barrel of bitter retorts has been reached. :-P
Ever thought the announcement of availability and pricing may have to wait for the announcement and disclosure of pricing for the processor that goes into it?
"Because they don't know how long it will take to get it to work."
They are already working and delivered to customers at customer sites. Why are you negative on the Itanium? Are you jealous that once again, Dell chose the better solution instead of the cheaper solution? Doesn't say much for the orphaned Opteron, now, does it?
Test units of the PowerEdge 3250's are already running at select customer locations. Ray would not reveal further details about deployment numbers, saying only that Dell is counting on winning the price/performance battle to expand Itanium 2's presence in large-scale computing environments. Pricing information was not available prior to the official launch date.
