| Also, will there be a manufacturer that will produce 4-way, 8-way, or more designs? I would imagine it would be dictated by demand, but demand may be tempered by the lack of such designs.... |

| This can't possibly be true. The Inquirer reported just a week ago that Microsoft was ignoring the Opteron. |

Parker, the 64 bit SQL Server is already out:

| I would not expect any 64-bit based machines to have legacy parts to them. I mean, no BIOS... no ps/2 ports... etc. Why not? It's a whole new platform, and you have to be running the latest OS on them. |

mat, that's a really old comment. Does VIA make the best chipsets, no... in fact, nVidia's nForce is the best Athlon chipset, however, it is no longer like it was in the early days of the Athlon.
VIA has improved quite a bit. |

| I'll stick with my nice stable Intel chips... |

nForce2 did have some issues with the BIOS... I don't know what exactly as I'm not looking at buying one at the moment (no money).
I wouldn't say that Intel chips are more stable. Now, at this point they are a bit faster and can scale up much better than the Athlons, but that's a whole other story. |
