Ya know, I've ran a few tests with the 825 and didn't see 
much performance improvement. I'm a s300 user- a couple of 
users and a lot of I/O and math. So what is "RISK" after 
the marketing hoopla settles? I haven't seem any "real" 
performance increase.

The s800 reminds me of the 9817, whatever that thing was
with a big black and white monitor, and the s500. Seemed
like a good idea until it got lost in the background noise.

At least s300 and s500 HP-UX was close the the same. It 
might be a good idea to wait a few years to see if the s800 
follows the 9817's path...
