au contrair on what a model 320?
i can assure you that the performance of one of the newer machines is
quite good. and with the journalled filesystem gives very good
stability. in over 5 years on an aix (unix like, a little, if you turn
your head sideways and squint) i've lost a database only once and that
was on 3.1.2 which everyone allowed was satans gift to sysadmins :-(
ergo i would not rule out an rs6k without knowing more about the environment/$$
