Intel has issued new software that fixes a problem that held up the release of the company's first Itanium servers.
Intel's Itanium processor is failing to pass Compaq Computer's stress tests, according to a Compaq representative, thus holding up the release of Compaq's Itanium servers.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation plans to integrate Intel's Itanium family of processors into its IT department -- despite a general lack of popularity for the platform.
Compaq Computer's Australian operation is leading the global charge for the company, and should serve as an example of how 'things should be done', according to a visiting industry analyst.
Linux vendor Red Hat has released the latest version of its Linux operating system for two 64-bit platforms: Compaq's Alpha and Intel's Itanium. The move brings version 7.2 of the most popular Linux distribution to a wider range of hardware.

Waiting for Merced, as Intel's next-generation Itanium processor was code-named, was like waiting for Godot. First it was going to ship in 1998, then in 1999, then in 2000...until finally, Intel threw Itanium's belated release party last May. For years the pundits scoffed.
The co-designer of the Itanium 2 chip has formally detailed its plans for the processor.
It's little wonder that the Intel Xeon has made a very understated entrance to the PC market. Industry prattle about Athlon 4 and Pentium 4 drowned out Intel's 2G victory cries, and the corporate IT market's radar seems to be fixed in the direction of the Itanium. But unlike Itanium, the Xeon is ready to serve its market now. We take a look at Compaq's offering.
Next month, Intel will bring its hyperthreading technology to desktops, another advance in the chip world that can be traced to Digital Equipment Corp.
