Thanks for that link ... The 100,000 SPECint_ comparison chart demonstrates exactly what's the point of this discussion. He's comparing Dell R610 against SeaMicro. I don't know how he calculated his numbers, but he's at least proposing a $1m to $3m savings on the life of a $4m purchase. Whether or not his numbers are relevant to your personal requirements, he's adding credibility to the idea, at least. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
