Dear Keith: I did not makeup all sorts of nonsense. You are the one who wants to compare Xeon 3.6GHz to Opteron 252. It loses in comparable boxes from the same manufacturer. If you want to use some proprietory chipset then why not compare them with say Nforce4 Pro (2250/2200) chips on a MB (a 2 way 275 can attach 4 of them), Horus or Cray's Red Storm approach. Throwing external hardware and money is easy. To get less than 10% more TPCm, they threw at it some 3 times more costly storage. I'm sure that with the same cost, the Opteron box would have done much better. Sure if money was no object, I could attach enough SSD to totally blow the Hurricane based 141K TPCm right out of the water at 100 $/TPCm, but what does that prove? 2 275s is a 2S system on a MB with NF4 Pro 2250/(3)2200s or perhaps 4 875s in a Sun V40z server with 6 PCI-X slots should make mincemeat out of a 2S or 4S Hurricane board given roughly equal storage systems using less electrical power. Kudos to IBM for getting Hurricane out but, price/performance competitive it is not. Pete
