Re: IBM Delivers World's Fastest POWER 5 Processor

Pete,

Perhaps.  My more than ample gutt tells me that this is targeted to the
super computing crowd and the OS/400 centric folks tend to be more
application database server centric.

I'll be at the p5 announcement roadshow here in DC on Thurs.  It will be
interesting to see how they're positioning this announcement

BTW, IBM kinda preannounced that there was going to be p6 and p7 at the
NOLA Tech Conf....  SO, go grab your urls while you can...:)

Don in DC
