Hi, I need some feedback on upgrading to 64-Bit. We are a state public health agency. My project team has proposed that during our regular server replacement cycle that our next purchase to replace our OLTP RAC system should be HP 64-bit servers, each w/ dual 1.6GHz Itanium processors, 16 GB RAM, 146 GB RAID drives, dual power supplies, and Windows Server 2003 64-bit.
...

".... I am concerned that we are going to spend over $100,000 for 64 bit servers without understanding what we will get for this.

...Uh, I take it someone fooled you into thinking the only 64bit option
is
Integrity (Itanium)... look into Proliant DL585s...you'll be happier
