Haven't sent them to Hesh either yet. Don't be misled by the presentation. The move from 1.7GHz to 4.2GHz will not result in a similar z/Series MIPS increase. Rather expect a lift similar to previous lifts. Damn. Did I say 4.2GHz? As with the last few generations, the key metric will be the MIPS/MSUs ratio. And that's purely a marketing decision. The open question is whether IBM will be able to connect a reasonable (non-tricky, non-quirky) software pricing plan to the "baby" z6 expected in 3Q08. There is actually a major opportunity. 17? -- Phil Payne http://www.isham-research.co.uk +44 7833 654 800 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
