Does anyone have any experience with the following systems?
Does anyone know of any company doing similar work with 
Intel or AMD processors (running Windows NT/2000/XP)?

Thanks.

Q1: How much HDD space?
A1: One, probably two HDDs. Comes with one 10GB HDD.

Q2: How much memory space?
A2: Probably up to 4GB of RAM. Whitepaper shows 512MB of RAM in their tests.

Q3: What type and Number of CPU?
A3: 633MHz Transmeta; doesn't mention multiple CPU capabilities.
    Doesn't mention anything about supporting Intel or AMD CPUs.
      
Q4: What OS does run?
Q4: Looks like only Linux?
    Doesn't mention future support for Windows NT/2000/XP.
    Please don't ask why I even want support for NT/2000/XP.
    You can probably already guess - my job only has Windows programers :-(


Q5: What compilers and development environment does it support?
A5: They don't mention any. My guess is GNU.

Q6: Are these just independent machines or
    do they support MP Architectures (SMP/NUMA/etc.)?
Q7: My guess is independent machines, no tightly coupled MP.
    Although you can use clustering software.

Q7: How much does it cost?
A7: Doesn't say....ANYWHERE!!!!!! My guess is ALOT!

The only totally accurate way to measure the performance of a system
is to test the software applications you use on the system. That means
asking for a loaner and benchmarking.

If any of you look into this, let me know.
I'd love to see the details.
It may be worth it for those with "special" needs.
