Maybe.  Maybe not.  How many servers are you replacing?  And what are 
they doing?

Some of the larger Sun boxes may be more appropriate.  Or a big 
RS/6000.  Depends on what you're doing.  s/390 doesn't have snappy CPU 
performance but I/O is obscenely fast.  Also s/390 will perform 
consistently well as you scale up its load.  But unless we're talking 
about replacing hundreds of PC servers, it might be extreme overkill 
(not to mention the cost....... yikes!)
