I was curious to know the pricing for DB2 on the p5 so I called IBM.

db2 express runs on the max 2 processors and 4GB of memory.  db2
express can be had on a per user pricing of $624 + $124 per user. 
Unlimited users is $4874 per processor.

the workgroup server edition of db2 is $1211 + $311 per user or
unlimited users for $9375 per processor.

The pricing for DB2 on the p5 can be $18K and higher.   Looks like a
two core system would run $10k.
