Which has nothing to do with what we're talking about: being able to run the most current versions of SLES and RHEL on current machinery. The cost of memory was never the reason for people not to move to zSeries. That was just one component of the reason.

There are still _years_ of support for s390 from both the vendors and IBM. Existing customers have time to plan an upgrade to zSeries. Yes, ultimately 31bit will fade away, but older used zSeries machines will come onto the market too ;-) In years memory will become cheaper, so why stay with 31bit anyway?
