HP's site does, at least for me. A DL360G5 with 32GB is $14k, see: <http://h71016.www7.hp.com/dstore/MiddleFrame.asp?page=config&ProductLineId=431&FamilyId=2422&BaseId=19077&oi=E9CED&BEID=19701&SBLID=> Of course, as others suggested, you might manage to build by yourself or your dealer something much cheaper. But it's still much less than the $45k you quote for Dell, which also sounds to me to much. BTW, This isn't HP's largest server line, it's the middle one (between DL100 and DL500). A DL580 with 32GB is $21k. Maybe also Dell has something in the middle that can host 32GB? -- Didi ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
