After hearing about "Coalt RaQ" a number of times on the list,
I thought I'd cruise over and check them out.
After doing so, I'm of the opinion that I'm missing something.
$1,200 USD for a 300Mhz 1u box? $2,699 for a $450 w/256M RAM?
$3,599 for a $450 w/512 RAM and a dual 30G HDs?
What am I missing? You can get a dual-P3 800 w/ 256 RAM
and a single 15G HD in a 1u for $2400 USD. With RAM and
HDs being so cheap now, Is there something special about
the RaQs? Software? Support? I just don't see anything to
warrant the higher pricing. Are they RISC based and use the
more expensive Sun chips with 2M SRAM?
Thanks...
