ACE was supposed to provide full parallel support for x86. MIPS machines were to be the "high-performance", x86 the high-volume end. Internal politics (like DEC wanting to go with OSF/1 for Unix instead of SVR4) and technical problems (like the R4000 shipping later than expected) delayed products and contributed to the failure of ACE. -Pelladon 07:26, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removed self-declared unsubstantiated rumor

I pulled the following sentence from the article:

One of the first companies to leave the consortium was Compaq. The unsubstantiated rumor was that Intel threatened that company to not deliver sufficient quantities of processor chips to support Compaq's then current production rate.

(emphasis original author's)

If there were at least an citation for this (a sourced unsubstantiated rumor? :-), it might be OK to leave in, but with nothing to back it up at all, it didn't seem appropriate.--NapoliRoma 18:04, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
