Not really.  I haven't settled on any specific vendor at this point,
I've just been given the okay to massively upgrade our core database
systems to 64-bit mid-rangy iron, which I've scheduled for 1Q2004.
Since we use Postgres on Linux, that means big Opteron boxes that are
maxed out.

If things keep going like they are, I could shortly be running on of the
biggest PostgreSQL implementations out there.  That could be both good
AND bad. :-)
