Re: How to relate performance of new models

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No confusion at all, they are the same exact planar board and CPU. The 
difference is the 710 is only 2U Tall so it holds less memory, cannot 
accept the 'upper deck' PCI card slot extension, cannot accept internal 
tape, and cannot take any 'full height' cards.

As a consequence CPU performance is the same! However 710 is aimed at 
AIX and Linux because of the limited features you can install.
