LOL! Talk about beating a dead horse! Yes, please, someone find some links from the archives to satisfy Tony's insatiable CFINT debate appetite.

I'd think that IBM is using the same processor on multiple machines for production economy, and using the CFINT governor to make it different (MHZ in pc-speak). The overclockers of the world know that the same type of thing goes on in the PC world, solder a jumper, break a connection, or whatever and whamo!, your cheap processor has 50% more mhz than before. If IBM has to install different ?mhz? processors in all machines to satisfy all of us, then the price of an AS400 can only go up. Has anyone abandoned Intel processors because their 600mhz celeron won't run at 1.5Ghz? I'd like my 400 to be able to use all the horsepower that it has, but I do (somewhat) understand the economics of assembly line production. And if I could just up the clock speed, break a jumper, or solder something, I'd probably do it. Just my opinion...I could be wrong. IBM really could be conspiring with some foreign government (or species) to slow the entire economy down. AS/Resources, Inc.
