Not quite what I was expecting... They really seem to be going after the high end. I suppose that's part of Dirk's deal - he must have wanted to finish what he started at DEC. If that glueless 4-way and 8-way is for real, then it does look like a pretty inviting pair of systems. A board for $500, plus 4 chips for $2,000 or 8 chips for $4,000. A case / power supply for the 4-way would be $600 and $800 for the 8-way. The 4-way would have 8 64-bit channels and the 8-way would have 16 64-bit memory channels. A configured 4-way could start at less than $5,000. A configured 8-way could start at $8,000 or so. Memory bandwidth on the 8-way would be 42.6 gigabytes per second.... Not bad for under $10,000.... A Dell with 8 900mhz PIIIs and 16 256meg Dimms is $70,000.
