Hi!

In addition to the sheer processing power the new Barcelona core has
some other interesting features, for example improved support for code
profiling. I think I'm going to have to get me one. We'll see if the
Sun offering fits the budget. Ultra 24, in particular, seems to have
very keen pricing - very encouraging. I just have an interest in AMD
CPUs. I enjoy using my Ultra 40 at the office...

Chris
