the as/400 is much more comfortable as a web server, compared to some of the other big computing boxes, just as those computing boxes would make a fairly shitty server relatively, but can crunch some serious #'s.
although, about a year and a half ago or so, there was a company i believe out in california that ordered a 400, and its specs were going to place it in the top 10 fastest computers in the world.

i can't remember exactly how those numbers correspond, but believe me, 37400 cpw is fucking INSANE. i think the box we had was around 500 or less (i could be wrong.. that was quite some time ago). probably around a $2mil box, roughly.
