RE: New 810

Loyd,

It's the 2466 processor. With the full interactive feature. Not sure about
the CPW on that box. We basically did the same thing. We have a bunch of
8GB and 16GB drives. We also went to the 30GB drives.

I ran some heavy hitting programs. The benchmarks have shown at least a 75%
performance upgrade over the 720.  However, that is with minimal
interactive usage on the new box. I'll be better able to tell when we move
the box into production in a couple of weeks. We also run Domino on the
same box. It's performance is better as well. Even with a non supported
version at V5R2. (5.0.6a) I need to upgrade those servers before I move
into production.

Thanks,

Mark

Which 810 did you get? We're (still) forming our upgrade plan from a 720 to
the 1020CPW 810. Off the cuff, how much performance increase did you
realize? Did you suffer any due to reduced disk arms? We are going from a
lot of 8GB drives to 5 30GB drives (in the primary partition).

Thanks,
Loyd
