Power 5 to hit 3GHZ, but thats just for starters

Whomever even tries to compare a POWER4 or POWER5 to a Pentium 4 is really being an idiot.  The POWER series is designed for heavy-duty processing, as well as high-reliability.  Frankly, it's like comparing a Ferrari vs an 18 wheeler.

Reminds me of my step-father when he was shopping for trucks.  He was discussing with one of his co-church-goers going to Boston, and someone went "wouldn't you be intimidated by the traffic."  

His line is one of the best I've heard him utter:

"In a Peterbuilt, I *DO* the intimidating."

That's an itty bitty one compared to the mobo in my Alpha XP10,000
