Terry,

That's old news.

Lately Intel changed its plans.

Xeon-model in Intel's future plans has been named Whitefield, being Intel's
first Xeon-CPU with four cores intended for use in server-systems with four or
more CPU's, Xeon MP. Intel now announces that developing Whitefield has been
discontinued, and at the same time the launch of Montecito, Intel's
Itanium-processor with dual cores, has been postponed.

With best regards,

Yar
