Has anyone got the latest information on the Intel i860 processor...how bug
free is it....when will it be available in the U.K. We are interested in
building a number cruncher around four such nodes and we need 16Mb on each
node to handle our fortran code....rumour has it that Intel is developing
a new faster on board memory chip (SX?). Any comments concerning the DN10000
(we would plan to have a system comprising of three processors) and the 
Stellar DS2500 DS2000.......srry this is a it garbled but I'm in a hurry!


                          Thanks in advance,
