However, the large accounts, lorsqu’they buy a waiter quad, does not buy that CPUs, they buy a whole.

Gotta love machine language translation.

"Hi, my name is Xeon and I'll be your server for tonight."

It reminds of the story about the F15 maintenance manuals
translated for Saudi technicians. They wondered why they
had to check the lubrication on the water goats.

Re: New Quad Xeon MP tries to match Dual Opteron
