I am looking for the solution for statistical application development,
and would like to use Fortran compiler.

The candidates in my mind are;

1. Dell Itanium 2 server
2. HP Alpha
3. Apple Xserv
4. IBM eServer bladeserver

The difficulties for me is to obtain the ground-truth of the
performance comparison.

If anybody who can provide me a benchmark, and/or the testimonies of
the system usage, and anything helps to make a decision.

Thank you in advance.
