I think the very important differences (except their prices ;-) ) in 7.2x versions are - ODS allows table partitioning - it allocates memory "on demand" (better for parallel threads) - its engine choose CPU lock vs. CPUskeduling policy (not the o.s.) - it uses virtual processors (with a shared mem area among them).
