Re: Only that Hurricane gets 150K instead of 102K You're being a bit dull there. The discounted price of IBM's hurricane platform, which puts 64mb of level 3 cache on the motherboard, is $18K with 2 CPUs. You'll have to do some brutal negotiating with your rep to get a basic 4CPU configuration in the door for $25K. HP's equivalent base platform is under $4K with dual CPUs. For another $4K you can populate it with dual core Opterons. You can buy 3 of the HP Opteron 4-ways for the price of 1 IBM 4-way. If you have $25K to spend, you can have an 8-way from HP that will blow the IBM out of the water (4 socket box with dual cores installed). The HP guys I talk to are just gloating over how far ahead their linup is compared to what Dell and IBM has.
