John,

Have you looked at the spec for an i595?

http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/hardware/595/specs.html

This monster can have up to 4TB of RAM. 1700 jobs would be
mincemeat for it,
whatever they were doing.

Crispin.

I saw, but the specs on the CPU power were not understandable to me.
What is a CPW? The z measures CPU in MSUs (Millions of Service Units - I
know "what is a Service Unit?"<grin>). And something else in IBM is
measure in "value units" or some such thing? How I wish MIPS actually
meant something.
