"HP DL380 G4 vs. Dell PowerEdge 2650. The Dell PowerEdge 2650 (Certification 2003092) was also configured as a two-way server with Intel Xeon 3.06GHz processors utilizing running SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7 with Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition and Microsoft SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition database. The PowerEdge 2650 achieved only 290 SAP SD benchmark users and 1,470 SAPS."

Uh, the comperable Dell model is actually the PE2850. I'll bet that DB2 v10 can kick the snot out of Oracle v6.
