Itanium Too expensive
Although the price of the chip will come down to try and get IT managers to upgrade to Itanium, the real cost is in software upgrades. Since Itanium is 64 bit it needs its own software. My question is why would you want to upgrade to a chip that is possibly a little faster pay more money for the hardware and much more money for new software ? It dosen't make sense when you could go with Opteron upgrade at your own pace and have a similar system without being forced to upgrade to new software all at once.
