If you are going to hit 48 at month end, then that is your max. That is what you are billed, even tho you may run at 20% the rest of the month. So to me there is no "wasting" CPU. It is there for your use, up to 48 MSUs. So why not use it? Like they used to say, a CPU that isn't running at 100% is wasting your money. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
