RE: IBM Unleashes World's Most Powerful Server

Quick, tell me the difference between an iSeries and a pSeries.

We can get THE EXACT SAME PROCESSOR in a 520, see: 
http://www-5.ibm.com/at/events/infotage2006/pdf/IBM_System_i5_Announceme
nt_Jan_2006.pdf

I apologize for the foreign link, I couldn't find the American English
version.

Heck, the pSeries config is more limited than the iSeries, if you need
it you can put your AIX in a partition on your iSeries.  Or just run
Linux.  You can run Linux as an i5/OS guest for approximately $0.

What's a 520 cost these days?  I'll bet you can get a pretty good one
for $50K.

IBM is going to load OS/400 on that bad boy?
