Sure, but then that defeats the whole point of a "$300 pee cee". At
that point I might as well spend $4000 on a power server as I'm likely
to be spending $2000 (or so) on the pee cee and $700 on the card and
still only getting a Band-Aid solution.
Let's be specific. What exactly would you spend that $4000 on? What is
a "power server"?
If you think the IBM solution is Band-Aid I suggest you have a second
look at the technology. IPMI _is_ band-aid. Remember that IBM still is
a mainframe company. Andrew, what specifically are you missing that
reduces this to "Band-Aid"?
Ummm, I think you got my meaning backward.
My comment is that the Power server is fully-supported in management the
whole way from power on to fully functional. This is good and is the
right way to do thing.

$4799 retail. Normally available for quite a bit less.
No matter how good the IBM card which works on x86 is, it is hamstrung
by the fact that the underlying computer must still be PeeCee compatible.
