Jay,

2 words: eval unit

I would simply post that, but the quotebot won't let
it fly, so I'll add some more ballast.
How about visiting the TPC site at http://www.tpc.org
and checkout the TPC-C reports. Compare some bogomips
of systems that have thousands of hard drives.

Currently waiting for a 64 bit driver for RHEL 3.0 ES
64 bit for an HP Opteron box, so I'm still in the land
of 32 bit with the oompa loompas.
