Re: how is system geared down?

["Steve Richter" <srichter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I apologize also Alexie. My commisars comment communicates my low opinion of
ibm mgmt, whose actions I feel are threatening to make my 15 yrs experience
on this platform obsolete.

you are a great resource for this list alexie. I have learned more about the
iseries from this thread due to yours and nathans participation.  and I
thank you for it.

Now, could I ask if ibm publishes the cpu speed of its systems?

This could be a relevant question. Example: stocking a low cpw system with a
lot of memory may allow that system to not page as much on its slow speed io
channels, hence perform better than its cpw rating.  Or a system that is
used primarily by pgmrs compiling pgms. A compile is a cpu and memory
intensive application. A system used in such a way as this may out perform
its cpw?

best regards,
Steve Richter
