[Fletcher, Joe]

Whoops. Apologies to all. This wasn't meant for the list but was intended as
a private reply.
I'll accept castigation as it arrives.

I second that. I run an ES40 at a research site that's currently kicking a
12 CPU E6500 into the weeds. We're getting 8-1 better throughput from the
Alpha vs the SUN.

(Sorry, I just couldn't resist)

Buy Alpha.
=)

We are currently looking at a similar solution with Alpha ES40's and
Oracle 8, although a somewhat bigger DB (around 40 GB).
