I beg to differ. Let's take a concrete example. Say I need a file server
machine with RAID. Considering its usage, the CPU needed for such a
machine is estimated as a Pentium III 500, which should be more than
enough. If, instead, a 550MHz CPU is used (+10%), this would be more
than adequate to cancel out the RAID's CPU usage. The cost of this is
maybe $50 in increased price.
How, exactly, does this turn out to be more expensive than a hardware
solution?
