RD: this server may be priced like a 6500, but it performs better than a 10k according to ibm.

The new RS/6000 Model S80 is a 64-bit system equipped with state-of-the-art copper-based technology and a new version of AIX, IBM's world-class UNIX operating system that takes full advantage of its leading edge design.

Significant performance boost for your business-critical applications
The S80's increased performance and capacity will give a significant boost to the complete range of mission-critical applications important to your business -- Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), supply chain management (SCM), customer relationship management (CRM), online transaction processing, and business intelligence.

Record-breaking performer
In fact, a 12-way S80, running AIX 4.3.3, is a record breaker and is the fastest Web server around according to SPECweb96 benchmark results, making it an ideal choice for your e-business. Additionally, the S80 beats Sun's best entry as an NFS file server by a substantial 25-35% while a 24-way S80 has proven itself to be the faster machine when compared to a SUN 64-way E10000 according to SAP R/3 (15% faster) and Baan ERP (62% faster) benchmarks.

Advanced copper technology increases system speed and reliability
The advanced copper technology of the S80's 450MHz RS64 III microprocessors allows for speedier data movement while reducing heat generation.

Concurrency for 32- and 64-bit applications
AIX 4.3.3 running on the S80 allows you to concurrently run 32- and 64-bit applications while you migrate toward a full 64-bit computing environment.
