Steve, read our lips. The two systems are made on the same assembly line.
There are few differences from a hardware standpoint. Go to Rochester. Learn
more.

the difference is the price. the p5 is marketpriced, the i5 is
overpriced. since a 5 user entry i515 sells for $8000, that means the
hardware is $6750 and i5/OS is $1250. For that $6750 you can get a
dual core p5 compared to the single core i5.

anyway, important news that the power6 is coming to the i5 2 quarters
sooner than expected. Sales did not drop off the table and at least
someone in IBM is trying to improved the system.
