HP doesn't manufacture their systems in-house any more. Maybe that has something to do with it. . . >>> Joe Alexander <[log in to unmask]> 02/16/98 09:13am >>> Thank you to all who responded to my query concerning SMP boxes. I was concerned because we're making a decision about going to SMP, and three different people reported processor failures within a two-day period on this list. However, I have heard from dozens of people who have been running 9X9 & 99X systems with multiple processors and no (processor) problems for as long as two years. In fairness I must report that I did hear from one more person who did have a processor fail on a 9X9. We're going ahead with our plans, just a bit of an eye-opener.
