IDE on big boxes? Is that crack I smell burning? A desktop with 4 GB is a fun toy, but bigger than *I* need, even for development purposes. But I don't think EMC, Clariion (low end EMC), Shark, etc. have any IDE products for my 8-proc 16 GB machine... And running pre-patches in a production environment that might expose this would be a little silly as well.
Probably a bad example to extrapolate large system numbers from.
