| taken. The extra cost may be justified.

if we are talking about a large system and the batch processing is
easily separable from your other infrastructure, why not buy cheap
Intel or AMD based machines, fill them up with RAM and run your batch
jobs there? it might be cheaper over all?

it is hard to give any sort of meaningful answer as long as I have no
idea of the what the nature of your batch processing tasks is :-).
