Yeah, we're definitely all looking for the day when i5's compete at that price 
point.

Just out of curiosity, do you know what version of DB2 comes on that p5? I see 
mentions that either Linux or UNIX can be supported, but on one of the Features 
pages it only lists a couple brands of Linux and AIX 5L -- does IBM pre-load 
your choice when you order? I can't find much about the pre-loaded software 
and/or configurations that come for the price.
