What's the best way to compare the two server, if not TPM?
Please note: I am looking for referenced material not an opinion!
Thanks!
Nathan

SolutionAs far as power5 lines, the entry I believe is the P520....
I found a couple of links of interest:
http://www.prdomain.com/companies/i/ibm/newsrelease/200408aug/pr_ibm_nr_20040823.htm
http://www.itjungle.com/tug/tug120204-story02.html
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/p/hardware/entry/
According to IBM, they use something called - rPerf for performance metrics:
http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/pseries/hardware/rperf.html
Course, you can check the TPC:
http://www.tpc.org/information/results.asp
Example, the tpcC for:
rx4640 is 161,217
Unfortunately, IBM only has it's higher pseries listed - 570 and 595...

Re: Integrity v. pSeries
The server design, system bus and such is very different.
How to evaluate is based more on use. If you intend to run Oracle on it, then look for performance tests in that area.

Re: Integrity v. pSeries
I have a p-series, and you don't want to know how often I have cursed and still do.
What a design. I am so very disappointed time after time after time with what IBM delivers.
OK, AIX 5.2 performs better than 4.3, but the integration of 64bit and 32bit environment is developers hell.
Everything is in the wrong place and nothing works at once.
This is of course my very subjective view, and I am looking at the machine from a developers eye.
If you leave the development to IBM or a third party, and have enough doe to pay these people to make it all "just work" (TM), then you might have a different opinion, but from where I stand, I'd rather have a HP-UX that performs half as good just to save me time, trouble and annoyance.
My humble opinion.
Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

Remember that your servers are as good as their admins.
