I know this isn't what you meant, but nobody has noted (or I missed it!) that,
unlike X86 boxes, you actually *don't* junk your investment -- you don't have
to re-buy the MIPS you already paid for.

If I change the machine, because it is CHEAPER THAN UPGRADE - isn't it the case
?
Sometimes IBM is willing to pay something for previous machine, sometimes not (or much to less).
Last but not least, it is unimportant do you junk the mips or re-use it (buy upgrade only). For me it is important how much does it cost.
It remains me discussion about Linux for z/Series. It provides much better (?) memory utilization than bunch of PC's. ...but memory for PC is approx. 150-200 times cheaper. Maybe significant saving in megabytes, but no saving in dolars.
