It isn't pSeries or iSeries anymore either, IBM still uses zSeries on the older equipment on this page: http://www.ibm.com/products/shop/servers/us/index.html The itweek article also talks about Power6 chips in the System z machines. Has that been officially acknowledged by IBM yet? The others on the list are easy, since iSeries (System i) has been using Power chips for several years, and there are System p Blades already. /ahw >-- >...phsiii >Phil Smith III >(703) 476-4511 (office) >(703) 568-6662 (cell)
