Intel is releasing several "building blocks" to make it easier for business partners to build servers using Intel processors, the company will announce Monday.

The new products aim to make it easier for computer makers to bolt together hardware without spending as much money on engineering. Although processors are Intel's biggest revenue source, the chipmaker also sells computer subsystems.

The new building blocks coming Monday are for making servers, networked computers that are more powerful and often more reliable than average desktop computers. The building blocks include several motherboards--the electronics boards on to which processors, memory and other components are attached.

Intel also is releasing a chassis into which those motherboards and other components are bolted. Finally, the company will release bare-bones systems that require the addition of processors, memory and hard drives to become functioning systems.

The building blocks are used by numerous Intel customers, from tiny mom-and-pop shops to the largest computer makers, said Phil Brace, marketing director of Intel's Enterprise Platforms and Solutions Division.

AlltheWeb's effectiveness already has made it a hit among scientists, librarians and other researchers looking for more obscure data.

By expanding the amount of online turf it scans, AlltheWeb believes it will become even more useful to a broader audience.

"Our goal is to develop the best search experience possible," said John M. Lervik, Fast Search's chief executive. "We really hope Google responds to this."

Google regards "quantity as just one component of search," said company spokesman David Krane. "We still believe we offer the most comprehensive search experience on the Internet."

While Google has long boasted about the breadth of its Web indexes, the company takes even greater pride in the complex formulas that it had developed to deliver quick results that list the most pertinent destinations.
