Basically it depends on the utilisation of the x86 servers, plus fudge factors that relate to the kind of work they're running. If the figures are low, in the 5-10% range, you could get a dozen or several. The good thing is that the IFL will run at full speed on the z9, not the "slow" speed of the 4xx-6xx models. Good Luck! cheers Peter ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
