Has anyone any experience of running a serious database server (I'm particulrly interested in Informix IDS 9.40 or 10, but Oracle or DB2 experience would be interesting too) on Sun's new T1 processors (or should I say "low-heat, highly parallelized T1 processors"?)

Yeah, but what chip you have (and how many of them) might affect performance, just possibly. - Logan
