Good point/clarification.
Thanks for the clarification, you are right.
This further supports the viewpoint that big iron open for an architecture like Itanium.

The point about X86 (or Opteron for those AMD flag wavers) scaling into mainframe space, by way of clusters,etc is a consideration. However, the needs of big tin on RASM and other expensive technologies are dismissed by these 'fantasies'.
I remember 'main frames' being 'considered' by clustering Nintendo game boys which at one time were leading edge. Then, someone discovered it's more than that.
