> http://www.ibm.com/products/shop/servers/us/index.html The old products are still eServer zSeries and the new product is System z9. However, the two together are know as System z. A similar "rule" holds true for the other server products. > The itweek article also talks about Power6 chips in the System > z machines. Has that been officially acknowledged by IBM yet? IBM has denied several times that we will be switching to Power chips. Note that the System z mainframes have lots of Power chips in them, but the processor chip is very much a System z unique chip. > The others on the list are easy, since iSeries (System i) has > been using Power chips for several years, and there are System > p Blades already. The Power blades today are not System p products (and not Power5), they are PowerPC 970 chips (as were used in the Power Macs). However, IBM has indicated that we will see Power6 in blades in the future. Jim
