Well, ECC would be enough of a reason for me! I really don't like the lack of parity on the Triton, though I'd rather use a Triton than a Neptun (that did support Parity) for performance reasons. Now you get even more than that. Very good for a heavily loaded server that has to stay up for months ... I wouldn't expect much performance benefit, and multi-processor is currently of no value for me (I hate multi-threaded programs ;-) Regards, STefan -- Stefan Esser, Zentrum fuer Paralleles Rechnen Tel: +49 221 4706021 Universitaet zu Koeln, Weyertal 80, 50931 Koeln FAX: +49 221 4705160 ============================================================================== http://www.zpr.uni-koeln.de/~se <se@ZPR.Uni-Koeln.DE>
