Good question. I guess nobody bothers. Setting up a tpc box is a large expense, and the TPC benchmark itself is not freely available. There USED to be a top result, as I mentioned -- SGI hardware, IBM DB2 UDB 7.2, 50GB TPC-C. Jan 2001. Superseded by now of course. Caldera HAS released the AIM VII benchmark as open source. AIM is a well-regarded multi-processing load benchmark. But it's for UNIX only. So you can't compare Windows to Linux with it. -- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
