Neil Hand, director of
program management at Dell,
explained that Xeon workstations
improve performance over standard
Pentium II workstations by about 18
percent, but only add $700 in cost.
Compaq will also introduce the chip
into its ProLiant server line. ProLiant
6000 and 7000 with Xeon processors
will appear later this year, followed
by ProLiant 6500 and 5500 machines.
The 6000 and 7000 will each be
capable of handling four processors
while the 7000 will contain head room
for eight processors, a capability that
will come out later this year, said
Mary McDonnell, vice president for
the server products group at Compaq.

So I expect to see more powerfull crafty clones within 3-4 month, play in front
of my eyes on ICC ... The new beats (8 way xeon 450 Mhz) seems to be 5 time
faster than quad PPRO-200 of Mr Hyatt...so 2 plies farther = 70 elo points ...
well well ;)
I like new technology...
