> For example how much OLTP work can a Linux 2 CPU machine with

> UNIX configurations? VAX/VMS would also be interesting.
> NT, someone else can do the work if they want :)

> SUN is also now offering hardware RAID 3 in their RSM2000 array.
> As I mentioned the Baydel array beats RAID 5 easily, and is
> substantially cheaper than an equivalent RAID 10 (1+0) array
> which is my preference. (and everyone elses :)
