Agreed!!

I would have loved something better but sometimes you just have to make do.

WebSphere was 99% Java (except for a few pesky dlls) and I never saw any oddities, it worked the same as it did on the old x86 VM I had which was woefully under spec. Our entire software platform was on WebSphere.

It really was a meaty box, which was a huge help because the tests originally (before IA64 box) used to take all night to run.
