Re: [BLUG] NOV meeting topic

Sun's site lists the two 6300s with 8GB of memory for $26,247 with the
chassis. Chassis is probbly $5000 or so seperately. The 64GB ram for
one blade would be about $11000 because you'd have to ditch the ram it
comes with to have enough slots. So that one blade itself with 64GB of
ram is probably $20,000 or so. That's a really expensive blade, IMHO. I
don't see how its worth it over normal PC hardware. You could nearly
buy 4 Dell 8 core blades with 16GB of ram each for that much and have 32
cores instead of just 8. I know, I know, its Ultrasuperduperpoopersparc.
