RE: 64 bit Windows...

If an iSeries 595 was running at 1.9 GHz and the OS was AIX5L 5.3 as
indicated in the benchmark, the results would be the same.  According to
the prophecy, anyway!

TPC-C and -W are meant to be workload measurements, not cycle speed
measurements. Tell IBM to run the tests on an iSeries and you'd see how
it compares. 

I would guess that they've not don't that because they believe that
people who buy iSeries's don't care about TPC benchmarks. At least I
hope that's why. The other option is they don't like the results.
