And then there is Itanium LOUD.... :)
In a room with 50 servers you can tell which one the Itanium is... and shutting it down
you can certainly tell with the reduction of noise...
I think mine is so quite as it's the 800Mhz (probably downclocked to 733 as part of
that disaster...) part. I'd say that reason is enough why small users weren't
exactly jumping onto Itaniums.
They are too damned loud.

Gregg,
There's loud and then there's LEBANESE FREAKING WEDDING LOUD. I can hear it
through three sets of Victorian brick walls if i try hard enough.

Hello!
Incidentally folks, there's a reason why your hardware is that noisy.
It happens that the processor inside runs very hot. And the fans
inside are working night and day to keep it cool.
