Vincent, >Christian, it's good to hear that SGI has addressed these problems. >have they discontinued the 175? Yes and no... you can get the 195 MHz at the same price as the 175 MHz version. It's sort of a "fade out" for the 175MHz like SGI used to do it with other cpus or graphics, too. >also they need to prod 3rd parties to certify and start recomending >the box if the cloud is to be dispelled. In case of Siemens Nixdorf for example (SNI is preferred vendor for the governmental and educational market in Germany) that works very well. >and is there a resonable way for those poor souls with 175 boxes to >get upgraded to the working configuration? Definitely yes ! In the october price book, there is an upgrade for the R5K 180 to R5K 200 Mhz at around $2500 (list price). We expect to have a similar thing for the R10K in November >SGI did sell these folks a crippled product for nearly a year. will >they make good? In my own opinion, that's a problem of every Sales Rep. I sold the R10K 175 to customers that got an advantage compared to the R5K O2 because it was the best they could get in this price range considering their environment. And I'm sure, some of them will also go the upgrade path in November. Christian
