It would be helpful if you'd quote a bit of what you are replying to. I suspect that you are replying to Radoslaw's statement that the z10 uses twice as much electrical power as a z9. A z10 is not 4 times faster than a z9 with the same number of engines, or even for maximum z9 compared to maximum z10. Not even close. It is closer to a 50% increase. Check the LSPR for details. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
