I think the 730 has pointed out this flaw in the 800 "servers" quite
well.  I wouldn't expect the next generation of 800 server-class machine
to have the same flaw.  Let's just say the job you guys did on the 700
is causing no small amount of head scratching, even inside HP.  For now,
a 700 server with a bevy of 700 clients is our best performing cluster
at a very reasonable price.
