I haven’t checked prices recently, but last time I checked, you could save a
lot of money by buying Dell instead unless you’re getting some special deal
from Sun or IBM. I haven’t checked the specs of a v490, but I can tell you we
migrated from a V440 to a T2000 and had horrible performance (well known issue
there – google for details) so then we migrated to a Dell 2950 with one
quad-core 3.33ghz Xeon X5470 (running Oracle Linux) and performance was great
compared to both the T2000 and V440. That was a couple years ago so the latest
Dell servers are even faster with the Nehalem processors or whatever the latest
and greatest is today. No, I don’t work for Dell, just a happy customer ☺

Brandon
