Worth reading. It's no different from the fact that I recently purchased
2-512 MB sticks of PC-2700 DDR memory for $55 each. That's over a Gig of it
for a total of $110.
The way IBM's recommendations were NOT used and substituted without their
permission for OLD deprecated yet costly alternatives is only equaled by the
fact that if I want to buy 64 MB stick of 72 pin RAM, if I can find it at
all, it's going to cost me well well over $110. Or two 32 MB's of 72 pin.
How many are going to go out and purchase a 64 MB stick of 72 pin when any
"LUGGER" in the world would say "Jeez man, just upgrade the mobo/CPU/memory,
all of it for under $300 new. Different ball game then huh?
A very well carefully worded set of documents.
Wonder who paid for it? The most interesting fact is how M$ outperformed
Linux when Linux was only suggested and not used? Some benchmark.
