What does your Itanium2 run, then? Not a damn thing. ;) It hasn't been powered on in about two years. I installed Linux on it, but it was slower than pissing tar. That sounds like Linux. ;) Linux doesn't do that anywhere else. (well, it used to on Alphas, where it spent most of the CPU cycles in the alignment trap handler..) And this is a quad Itanium2 with like 6GB of RAM at some ungodly high clock speed! I patted my UltraSPARCs (which run at HALF that clock rate) affectionately on that day. There's a reason I'm interested in SPARC gear. ;) There's a reason I RUN SPARC gear. ;) -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
