Amen, brother :)
We hoped throwing a silly pSeries 650 would solve all our problems. Boy
were we wrong... a world of pain...
Don't go there - just buy an Opteron system - if you're talking about
IBM big iron, a decent Opteron will cost you about as much as a couple
of compilers and an on-site visit from IBM...
Cheers,
Gavin.
