Hi Listers,

Came across this note recently. IBM and Micro$oft (unlikely combination!) broke the 400000 tpmC mark using a DB2 Database.

IBM, Intel, Microsoft Eclipse Sun Microsystems and Oracle with World's Fastest Commercial Server Cluster (9.6KB)

Earlier on, M$ had announced that they had broken 152207 tpmC (at $18.93/tpmC) and 227079 tpmC (at $19.12/tpmC) with the Compaq Proliant 8500-64P and -96P respectively on 17/Feb/00 and then WITHDREW the result on 30/June/00. See
