Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain We are looking at new servers for our Oracle8i OLTP back-end. An IBM sales guy claimed that an RS/6000 is 'twice as fast' per processor running Oracle8i in an OLTP environment - a 6 processor RS/6000 is just as fast as a 12 processor SPARC. What do y'all think about this?
