1U P4 Systems

Hello Michael,

We have a dual AMD based motherboard inhouse and currently going through 
testing procedures for heat, power supply and case designs.  Products based on 
the 1u dual AMD "should" be available early next month.  However, there are 
issues related to the power supply and cooling that will require some time.

In regards to the P4, there are a few case companies that have a single 
processor 2U version also due out in June.  Again, issues with power supplies
(availability) and adequate cooling.

Based on the current P4 die won't see the P4 in anything smaller than a 2u.


So some time next month should see both offerings.

Cheers,

Steve Gaudet
