The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

I am curious where are you getting the 8000+ CPW (commercial processing
workload) rating for a PC? CPW is not the same as CPU speed. I do know
my model 520 with 3,800 CPW rating running lots of concurrent services
and applications will outperform a quad-core PC server running just MS
SQL Server. We have an application that runs on a PC and makes
connections to both DB2 and MSSQL and reads data from both and the 520
responds quicker that the PC server.

costs, though.
well, a 25% price/performance increase. Compared to PC servers more
than doubling in performance in the last year with the release of quad
core CPUs

If the idea is to compete with Windows Server in a 5 user setting, 800
CPW vs 8000+ in a PC server is not a fair fight.
