Or to put it another way, the memory for the server cost more than the
database license :). Or to put it yet another way, they bought 1000 hard

It's actually a great report, though perhaps not in the way Oracle and HP
might want since it's more evidence that what you need for great TPC-C
scores isn't great software, or the latest hardware but shed-loads
(technical storage term) of disk spindles.
