it wasnt to useful for a windows server, and i dont think that it sold well. wasnt it also a closed HP/intel standard anyways we intel was the only one allowed to make the chips and they wernt faster than quad core chips of today (they do have a new one out this summer though)

we are going to be stuck with x86 for a long time its like apple with ppc or cars and fossil fuels it will only change once its imposable to make it how it was.
