Remember that these were multi-core chips - they can't give you less CPUs, because they're all on the one 'chip'
Take a problem, turn around and make it a marketing point? John >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/26/05 5:49 PM >>> What I found interesting was the possibility of IBM's to turn on/off hardware on request. If you wanted an extra CPU for 2 days - no problems, IBM would send you a 2 day key for it, and you'd pay only for those 2 days. Or, to quote IBM, "you don't pay for the other days". Ehhh, wait a minute. I wonder where IBM is getting the free chips from to deliver with the server boxes...
