RE: Mac is the AS/400 of Desktop Computing per Dvorak

It is strange tho when you compare the servers. Is
the Apple Xserver actually more capable than the
biggest dual processor 270?

The 270 2434 has 2 600 mhz SStar processors 4mb cache,
max dasd of 421 mb and costs with software  $200K ++

The Apple Xserver comes with 2 1 GHz Powerpc processors
4 mb of cache and 420 mb of storage, plus a gigabit
ethernet adaptor and software for $7k.

Can a $7K machine actually kick a 270's butt? I would
love to see the Linux 270 and the Xserver in a match :)
PCI to PCI, PowerPc to PowerPc, Java to Java winner take
all.

Konrad
