Upgrade to Montecito - great move!
This will give you great performance gains! I've just upgraded one of my customers from the HP PA-RISC platform to Itanium Montecito (SuperDome)running HP-UX 11i v2. They've just gone live & are ecstatic with the performance gains. If they upgrade further to the new HP-UX 11i v3 just released they will obtain further performance gains!
These are really exciting gains!

HP's more entry-level dual cpu (as just released) rack & BladeSystem models are going to give SUN a run for their money!!!

Well done!
for your wonderful initiatives! It's fantastic to see Corporations in the USA & other countries starting to stand up and be counted on these issues. It's been horrifying to watch the US (government) wallow in a state of denial, and unbelievable to see how many people are still naysayers with regards anything "green". It is up to every single individual & hopefully all corporations large & small throughout the world to make an effort. Only then can we hope to still have a livable planet for our children/grandchildren. Everybody should be forced to watch Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth".

And this one's obviously too right
to know that he'll experience meltdown with Intel during global warming if he doesn't move to AMD cpus; and have to throw it right into the trash. Then he'll be left with nothing to run during the Ice Age. Not even a Bush or forest to protect him!

Poor thing! So blind!

And this one's obviously too right
to realise that moving to the better-cooled AMD cpu will allow him to avoid meltdown with Intel during global warming that will force him to throw it right into the trash and so finally be left with nothing to run on when the Ice age arrives!!!

At which time, ofcourse, there'll be no Bush or forest left at all to protect him in his ignorance.

Sorry, J_Satch, couldn't resist stealing your original metaphor! :)

You didn't feed it enough
If you'd read further - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming - you'd see that most of the scientific community do not agree with the corrolation between global warming following the LIA.

As per the info on global warming: "Various alternative hypotheses have been proposed to explain the observed increase in global temperatures, including but not limited to:

The warming is within the range of natural variation.
The warming is a consequence of coming out of a prior cool period ? the Little Ice Age.
The warming is a result of variances in solar irradiance.
At present, none of these have much support within the climate science community as an explanation for recent warming.

How sad it is that the prediction is for temperatures to rise in the US to the tune of 6 - 8 degrees Celsius! Or perhaps simply just desserts for the country whose president continuously refuses to sign the Kyoto Protocol!!

It's time Bush wakes up and comes to the party!!

Lower component costs - more faults!
It's always good to see HP get good results, when selling their kit is one's bread & butter! But reading that their PC components are costing less is not good news, since we've been experiencing far too many incidents of PC component failures over the past year or so! That is over & above the overheating capacitor problems during 2004.

Ongoing problem with faulty capacitors?
One of my customers has experienced this problem with a batch of HP ePCs, d530s during 2004. Over the past +6 months the same customer has now experienced similar problems (plus others) with the later dc7100, and dc7600 models. Is anyone aware of similar problems being experienced elsewhere currently? Although HP did a proactive replacement for the ePCs & d530s following a customer advisory re the bad capacitors, they are denying any further problems having been reported (worldwide).
