I think that they are 64 bit Xeon. I cannot say how their RAS compares to a zSeries box, but I can say that in the years that we've had them, we have never had a system failure due to the server hardware. Let's not talk about reboots due to applications "leaking" resources in the Windows environment. The owners refuse to document that because it is not considered a "system level" problem. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
