Remember, this event is going to be somewhat different than my original challenge. This is raw horsepower, and I hve no doubt that our numbers will be eclipsed as soon as somebody does an I2O system. What I want to do is to grab the world's attention long enough to show that we're a serious player, and then slam them with my original Challenge, once they can't refuse without losing face. Remember, exposure and good press is our goal! The Novell system would be a stupid system from a real world viewpoint. I wonder if there's actually something in the SPECweb benchmark that will prevent us from just loading the whole test website in a RAM disk.
