Moore's Law again
Well,
I was right!. Panix did update their policies and added 20% free RAM to their
v-colo plans to match
linode.
Unexpectedly they also reduced their
physical server co-location prices as well. I don't know how competitive that makes them since I haven't looked, but it's $100/mnth for a 1U.
ETA: Plus a $25/month power surcharge, effectively making it $125/month.
