Hi Jörg,

do you know something about the naming logic of the Galaxy Servers?

I think the first letter describes the architecture:

X - x86
M - Sparc VI
T - Niagara
E/V - Sparc IV

But the Sun Fire V20z was an x86 Server?

First number describes the series. I think that's ok.

Second number describes the count of sockets?
True for X4240, X4450, X2100 and X2200 but wrong for 4600, 4500, 4140.

And the last ones are for:

40 - AMD
50 - Intel

So I hope you could dispell the darkness
