So the link suggests Itanium lacks performance
Thanks for the link. Looking at the link, Opteron, Alpha and Power4+ (wonder how Power5 would of been) are much better. For instance, if I would triple the power4+ which would be 78 procs (still less than the Itanium2 which has 84) it would spank the Itanium2. Same thing could be said of the Alpha and Opteron.

So I think I would be looking at the Power5 or Opteron from the link you sent. I like the Alpha, but I do not see a future for it ... kind of like I do not see the future of the Itanic.
