Just like I thought...the 21264 really is a monster.
Compaq had a few of their REALLY nice boxes at the engineer conference last
week in Toronto. I desperately wanted to run some benchmarks, but something
told me that I shouldn't run software on these machines without asking
permission... hmmm..
Can't wait to get me one of them boxes!

ps - Is anyone else besides me happy that Compaq is ditching that boring old
"computer beige" in favor of the "opal" (basically white) color for their
servers? I think they look snazzy.
