When one considers the overall cost of deploying and maintaining an application -- hardware, personnel, data center space, software licensing, etc. -- the cost of the hardware is usually only a very small percentage of the total cost over the lifetime of the application on that hardware. Crippling yourself on the basis of hardware costs is a classic case of being penny wise and dollar foolish. If you look at the cost of Xeon equipped machines, I think you'll find that those don't come cheap either. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Stephen Lee INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
