I'm
referring to the Itanium; not sure if Intel got that from DEC or not.
They most certainly did not! Itanium is the marketing name for what was
called Merced for many years. It's been in development since something
like the early 90's.
What Intel got from DEC was a FAB, and in some manner the StrongARM
processor (I never have understood this one).

Boooooooo!!! I love those tulip chipsets...low CPU use,
ultra-reliable and well-supported by linux.
Is there's ones still in production or what is another equally GOOD
one that replaces tulip based NICs?
I think one of the intel 10/100 NICs is a rebadged DE600 tulip card.

A DE600 is a Intel NIC, but I've never actually seen one. Wouldn't mind a
couple more DE500's though.

I can get tulip-driver-compatible 10/100baseT PCI cards that work
good with pretty much any x86-based OS for $15 new, all day long...
I'll take a $15 Tulip-or-compatible based card over some $100
3Com POS all day long.
