Re: IBM investment in i

At last month's LUG meeting on the Power merger I asked about prices
coming
down. We've wanted more disk space and $30/GB made us hold off. The answer
I
got from the IBMer from Rochester was that, at the time, only the 570 had
truly converged i and p part numbers. The 595 would be next in the
convergence process and the low end models like 550 and 520 would not
likely
have a single set of part numbers until the end of this year or the
beginning of next year.

I hear that pricing has come down for the POWER6 systems

Good, I am glad I am not the only one unable to figure out if a new

POWER6

520 can be reasonably priced on the hardware side. I would love to see

a

before and after comparison showing how much a stick of memory and a

hard

drive costs.

I was expecting Timothy Pricket Morgan to do such a write-up, but

haven't

seen anything yet (unless I missed it).

Anybody know the before and after?
