Roughly the same. >Assuming NO "capacity-priced" software, how much is the increase in software >cost? I'm not sure what your term "capacity priced" means, but if it means "usage based", then there should be no increase for that workload. But, with increased processor capacity, there will be increased costs, somewhere. And, most chargeback systems don't charge for just one workload. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
