This looks like an interesting machine: "http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/store/index.php?submit=hardware&submitimg[hardware][powerstation]"

Not a bad price, too bad you more than likely couldn't run AIX on it.

Here's a regular link.

This seems to be nothing more than an IBM IntelliStation POWER 185 Express:
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/intellist ... specs.html

not true, the machine in link is quad core for ~1900$

the ibm intellistation power 185 express is either single or dual core.

also the price $5k+ is quite different

Of course they do not sell identical machines, but the base is the same.
They just put in newer dual core CPUs, similar to Apple's G5:

If only they were available in Europe

I don't think you need to anymore, Jose. I've noticed that with this newer version of phpBBS any long url's one enters automatically get abbreviated in the middle.

Sample :

http://cgi.ebay.com/Xerox-Phaser-860_W0 ... dZViewItem

that one's as long as a US passenger train but should show up with the middle ellided. (Is ellided a word ?)

it's ellipsis, so ellipsised? I don't think you can turn it into a verb. Anyway, the weird formatting prevented it from being automatically made into a URL anyway, this board does do that right? I can never remember

Hi hamei,
I changed the url not because of length, but because the url contained brackets, like "[" and "]," which phpBB misinterprets as BBCode. I guess the other option would have been to disable BBCode on the post, but the thought didn't occur to me at the time. In any event, I should have been clearer about what I meant by "urls like the one above."

PS. hamei, ellided isn't an English word (though it suggests something Icelandic), but elided is. Almost works, too.

Well the motherboard is for sure different from the IBM one - this has PCI-E slots. As well they say that it supports up to 32G RAM, while 185 supports up to 8G (or IBM just dont support 4G modules? and have the same amount of 8 memory slots?).
I was keeping an eye on the YDL powerstation for a while and I notice now that they changed the video adapter to a Radeon one. I'm 100% sure that some weeks before (before the shipping started) it was XGI. They had some open source drivers for it and this was part of the advertisiment - that everything was open.

It certainly was that other brand's card before, the X10 or something like that. ATi under ruling from AMD opened up its drivers although I don't know much more than that.

Can anyone compare horsepower of YDL powerstation to any xeon/opteron comparable station?
is powerstation worth money?

By what metric do you measure performance...?
Drystones, graphics, I/O throughput, database transactions per second, etc...?

I don't have a YDL powerstation but I do have a POWER 4+ 1.45GHz running Fedora Core 9, if you want me to run a specific benchmark, I'd be happy to post it.

It seems amazing fast on somethings and glacial on others ... POST takes like 5 minutes.

RR.

I was mainly interested in compile times and I/O.

you mean HTTP POST or which POST?
