Why only focus on reliability? Might be a good idea to also keep an
eye on throughput/performance... I recall an MPE application vendor
(the name escapes me at the moment ;-) that sold an MPE N-class with
two 440 Mhz CPUs to have their application replace some Unix based
application that was running on two V-class machines...
