Re: Allocating memory to a subsystem

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Aaron,

As I recall from the presentation at Common (or a discussion later) , I 
think the new pricing "equality" applies to Power 6 systems only.  So, 
unless you have a 570 (which I think got Power 6 first) you won't see a 
savings.

My 520 lease is coming up for renewal and I am going to replace it with 
a blade (JS21 I think).  It will be nice to get plenty of RAM and Disk 
at "street" prices for a change.

Pete
