Thank you, Howard, and good afternoon, everyone. Thisquarter marks our 14th anniversary since our funding in 1993. It washighlighted by record high in revenue again. Our revenue reach $180 millionwith a growth of $27.8 million, compared with our fourth quarter of fiscal year2007, which is about 30.8% growth. This quarter net income reach $5.8 million with a growth of$1 million compared with last quarter, which is about a 20% growth. Thecontinued revenue traction of our 1U Twin and Universal I/O solutions, thestart of volume shipment of our SuperBlade servers and the launch of ourinnovative products, such as AMD Barcelona server and Intel quad-core MP Xeonserver solutions sets our table for additional goals in our future. The 1U Twin continues to gain much share with customers inhigh-performance, high-density, server converting and data center environments.The 1U Twin server require half as many server racks, chassis, power suppliesand power cables, which should reduce customer's TCO. Additional cost savings associated with this IP spacerequired as well easier maintenance and management make this servers are veryattractive option for almost any high-performance server applications. Our newinnovation Universal I/O architecture has also been increasing in revenueduring the quarter. Customers appreciated 1U Twin flexibility, cost advantages,and investment protection, which the UIO architecture provides. Future upgrades can be achieved by replacing the UIO cardand or expansion card instead of replacing entire systems. Even without any UIOmodule or expansion cards, our UIO system functions as an better cost effectiveserver. With the UIO card installed a single UIO server can support a SAS, 10GbEthernet or even InfiniBand. This versatility also minimize the number ofdifferent server models that resellers need to keep in inventory. During the quarter, we went into volume shipment of ourSuperBlade servers, which implement the very latest advancement in servertechnologies, making them an ideal solution, not just for enterpriseapplications,…

Thank you, Charles. And good afternoon, everybody. First letme point out that our GAAP numbers appear in the news release and so I would bediscussing earnings, gross margins, operating expenses, and similar items on anon-GAAP basis, which reflects adjustments to exclude stock-compensationexpenses. Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP is included in thefinancial statements of the Company in today's earnings release. Let me beginwith a review of the first quarter net income statement. Revenues of $117.9 million for the quarter, was up 30.8% forthe same quarter a year ago. This growth was lead by the increase in our serversystems business, which increase 43.5% year-over-year or $13.8 million to $45.6million. Unit volumes on server systems increased 26.7%year-over-year from 30,000 to 38,000 units. ASP for servers also increased onyear-to-year basis, from approximately $1,000 per unit to $1,200 per unit. The increase in server revenue was primarily due to highersales of our OEM and Series 6000 servers, offset in part by declining AMD-basedservers. Our 1U Twin and UIO products, as well as our enterprise Bladeproducts, continued to gain traction during the quarter. We continue to maintain a diverse revenue base with none ofour more than 300 customers making up more than 10% of our net sales in thefirst quarter, 61.7% coming from the U.S. and 60.9% coming from ourdistributors and resellers. Internet data center revenue was 8.6% compared to 3.3% in Q1of fiscal year '07. We started approaching this market about two years ago andhave progressed well in developing solutions which serve this market. On a sequential basis net revenues were up by $7 million or6.3% from a $110.9 million in Q4. The increase is primarily due to the increasein sales to our OEM customers and continued growth in sales of the 1U Twin andUIO products, offset in part by lower shipments of AMD products.…

Thank you, Howard. I would like to say that we started thefiscal year 2008 with solid first quarter in which we saw sequential revenue,margin, and net income goals. We continue to work on strengthening ouroperation in the U.S. and abroad and looking forward to and exciting yearfilled with additional innovative products resulting in continued growth inrevenue, profitability, and shareholder value. We begin our 15 years of operation expecting to continue our14-year tradition of profitability. Thank you all for joining us on ourearnings conference call. With that, we will open the call to questions. Thankyou.

(Operator Instructions) And we'll go first to Glenn Hanuswith Needham.

Good afternoon. Could you talk -- your gross marginperformance exceeded my model. Could you talk about the sort of relativecontribution of the items you mentioned in your script on the upside there? And the -- kind of how you’re feeling about thesustainability of gross margins at current levels now going forward?

Okay, very good. I mean, basically because our 1U Twin havebeen growing very well, indeed a bit better than what we thought, and UniversalI/O, UIO product also growing strongly. Together we started to shipping in production. So all ofthose contributed to our better gross margin. Again, because of new technology,better technology. So it's very important for Super Micro to continue to keepinnovative products and we have a good feeling for those. However, yes, according to the market, sometime forstrategic reason, we may not gain new market segment or new customer, so inthose cases we may have to be aggressive in price to gain new customer. So basically we like to control our growth and for sure,control our gross margin.

And anything on the outlook there, gross margins, do youthink you can hold them here above 19?

It -- we have options, you know? Basically we try to keep ahalf a number for companies long-term business, and that's good forshareholders long-term future. So from 18 to 19 or something it's all possible.

I can't quite understand that. It's possible.

It's possible to keep between 18 or 19 something.

Okay.

That's why potable (ph) companies long-term future.

Okay. That's my question, then. I guess I'll let you move onand circle back. Thank you.

Thank you.

(Operator Instructions) And we'll go next to Joshua Solanwith Glacier Bay Capital.

Hey, guys, how's it going? Just had a question on theoperating expense line. I do think it increased sequentially a little bit morethan maybe I was expecting, and I'm curious if you think can sustain at thatlevel or if we should continue to model growth in there?

Hey, Josh, yes, we -- as I mentioned earlier we had about a$700,000 charge for NRE expenses in our R&D area, and we do -- that was aculmination of probably about three years -- over two years of development workin our Blade server solution business. So again that was a culmination of thatproject. Obviously we'll have other projects going forward, but that was amajor endeavor of the company and we're happy that we went into volumeproduction in that area.

Is the implication of that that absolute dollar of OpExcould be down next quarter?

Again, we won't see that particular expense incurring, butthere may be other NRE or other charges. But again, that was the $700,000 wasfor the culmination of about a project that lasted over few years.

I would say even than I though I mean just the other reasonI believe because if I take that out maybe it was up still sequentially morethan I thought. I mean, just --

The other reason, I believe, because we aggressively growingour foundation in R&D and production. So all of those, including the hiremore people, retrain our people those for long-term a company growth. And Ibelieve it's a very good idea to invest at this moment when company is stronglygrowing.

That's fair. And on the gross margin line, I think everyoneon the call -- or everyone who follows this because sort of sees you guysgrowing the business 30% a year, at least. You're doing some interesting thingsin Asia as far as assembly there and then a lot of other things to increasegross margin. And getting back to the last question, I guess, I mean isyour -- and I know there's sort of new products and there are good years andbad years with new products, but I mean is your gross margin sustainably higherbecause of scale and because of all of these other things that you're doingthan it was a year ago or two years ago, on a sort of on a like-for-like basis,assuming new products or not new products?

Yes, Josh, I think we talked quite a bit about buildingeconomic scale being one of our primary short-term goals and I believe thecompany through its revenue performance has continued to build scale. So we'reobviously in better position today as we were in a number of years ago. Andwe'll continue to look at, again, improving and strengthening our position.

Last question. Could you just give me the absolute dollar onthe inventory write-down number?

About $2 million.

About $2 million? Okay.

Yes.

Which again compares to last quarter it was about $2.7million. Is that higher than it should be?

It's what we believe. Obviously, we look every quarter atthe end of every quarter and make our estimates to put what we believe is anadequate reserve.

No, I was just saying going forward maybe. Is there a way weshould think about it maybe as a percent of sales or something like that?

Again, last year we had about 1.3% for fiscal year '07 wasour inventory provision. Again, this quarter it ran a little higher and again,we'll look at it every quarter.

In the long term, we hope we can continually improve,though, because in the past couple of quarter, as you people know, TTI won andthose have been issued to lot of company and looking forward to next fewquarter, I believe we have room to improve.

Well, I mean, I guess all of this really bodes well forgross margins going forward, I imagine. Thanks a lot guys, appreciate it.

Thank you.

Thank you. We'll go next to Vamzy Mullen (ph) with MerrillLynch.

Hey, Howard and Charles. Question I had was also pertainingto gross margin. You guys mentioned a higher gross margin from new products,cost reduction and also lower inventory reserves. If you rank ordered those, Charles, should I take youcomment that new products were the primary driver of the higher gross margin?

Pretty much new products, especially 1U Twin and UIO.

Okay. And from a component cost perspective, how much wasthe impact in gross margins was that?

Yes, Vamzy, on a higher gross margins and cost reductions,we had about 1.5% made up by that.

Okay. Thanks. And can you talk about the impact from Ablecomon your gross margins?

Sure, happy to. It was minimal. It resulted in about eightbasis point increase to our gross profit in Q1, and there are purchasesrepresented about 23%, 23.7% of total cost of goods sold, which is down fromprior quarters and prior year.

Thanks, Howard. And can you comment on what your, how you'rethinking about balancing between revenue growth and margins? I mean in thisquarter, did you make a conscience decision and walk away from some of thelower-margin businesses? I mean it looks like your Internet data centercustomer percent actually went up, so can you elaborate on that a little bit?

Indeed, you are right. I mean, in those case we have achoice to upgrade you in some competitive deal or not. So looking forwardagain, we had to keep the company able to grow more than 30% year after year.That’s pretty much our bottom line. And once above this bottom line, I mean, we try to have adynamic choice to viable basically our company and for our shareholder.

Thanks, Charles. One more, if I could. How large of animpact were Blades on revenue growth in this quarter and how should we thinkabout it next quarter? Obviously, HPC class is doing really well. IBM's notdoing as well in that particular segment. Are you seeing, relatively speaking what particularverticals or what particular areas are you seeing opportunities in the Bladeproduct? Thanks.

Yeah, very good. Basically, we spend almost three years todevelop our progressive product line. Finally we are very happy, it's ready forproduction. However, revenue growth won't be sharply because in our new portalwe try to be conservative, so from some customer, although we shipping in somevolume, but we try to control the growth. Because overall 30 something percent, again is our bottomline growth rate and in the near future we too feel very exciting for thisstrong product line. We have enterprise Blade server and then coming soonOfficeBlade. Like I just mentioned, our OfficeBlade perform at about 50TP noise level, which is like a high-end workstation, so very suitable foroffice environment. Before people don't believe Blade is good for officeenvironment. Now we make that product -- that possibility available. So again,in next couple of quarter and near future, we feel very excited for this strongproduct line.

Thank you.

Thank you.

(Operator Instructions) And next we'll take a follow up fromGlenn Hanus with Needham.

Can you talk, Howard, a little bit more about you mentionedthe discounts and that you're getting better terms are suppliers and with yourcustomers and your suppliers. Can you give us some quantification or some wayto think about how that's progressing and how much more progress might beavailable?

Yes, sure, Glenn. With regards to our days, we went to 29days and previously it'd been in the low 20s and we're working our way upthere. It's primarily because we do have a good portion, the majority of oursales had been in the TT and COD type of terms, which the Company has thetraditionally offered anywhere from a 1.5% to 2% discount for those types ofterms. So we've been weaning our customers off, trying to move ourcustomers off to more standard terms, like net 30 and what have you, and thathas contributed to the gross margin pickup. As I mentioned the combination ofthe 1.5% for new product introductions, cost reductions, it's all put in tothat bucket.

Okay. Can you maybe talk about how you're feeling about the impactof server virtualization products on your business?

Yes, I mean, about 18% of our product application optimizemarket, so we see this segment impact from virtualization is much smaller. Yes,we have some general-purpose server markets where each year faced to a morechallenge with tradition. However, in the more virtualization application,people need really high-performance, high-density system, and as you know, weare very good, very strong in this area. For example, our Intel MP system, AMD MP systems all aregrowing quickly. And that’s 1U Twin, lots of people use the 1U Twin forvirtualization application as well. So when virtualization become more popular,I do feel very optimistic regarding the impact to our business.

Any comments you can make on the competitive landscape yousaw in pricing environment through the quarter versus HP, IBM, and DELL?

Yes, that market, in last quarter from what I observe isquite stable. Again, the market continued to be very competitive, but basicallynot much change in last quarter. And looking forward, I believe our foundationbecome bigger, stronger. Our market share we're continuing to grow. So the challengewill be continued stronger effort but looks like we should be in better shapethan before.

And more specifically on the enterprise Blade productsversus HP and IBM, any commentary you want to make there?

We are new, right, and that's a fact. Now we send a lot ofsystems for customer to start practice our system and order feedback are quitepositive. So we have very good confidence that our Blade will be a successfulproduct, especially our Blade server provided some feature that our competitorscannot beat us. For example, computing, density, high-efficiency power supply,and also very directory. Our cost advantage is quite good in Blade server.

Thank you.

Thank you.

(Operator Instructions) And it appears at this time we haveno further questions. I would like to turn the call back over to Mr. Liang forany additional or closing comments.
