Re: Buying my first 515

[Bryan Dietz <bdietz400@xxxxxxxxx>]

You get the full CPU, 3800 CPW.

<snip>
The model 515 uses 1 or 2  1.9 Ghz POWER5+ processors with L3 cache. 
The full processor capability is available for all workloads.  This will 
allow compute-intensive workloads to be cost-effectively added to the 
system.  There is no longer any restriction on 5250 OLTP.  While cpw is 
NOT the way to size a model 515, it is capable of 3800 cpw with a single 
processor.  HOWEVER, due to the restriction of only having 8 disk 
drives, in a disk access-intensive environment, the maximum usable cpw 
may be as little as 800 cpw (this is also the case with 520 & 525 models 
that only have 8 disk drives).
</snip>

You might not need the UPS cable($95), and get as much memory as you can 
afford.
