> An OS that can handle SMP is not exactly a cutting-edge technology There you have it. You seem to be missing the most significant innovation of the SGI Origin line. It is NOT SMP. It is a unique variant of NUMA that is leading the industry. In fact there's no commercial SMP that can scale beyond 64 processors (most are out of bus bandwidth at 8 processors) and even that comes at a huge initial cost of a backplane that can support this number of processors. There's a factor of more than 100 between a system that can scale to 8 processors and a system that can scale to a 1000 or more. I suggest you take a look at some material about SGI's S2MP here's one example: reality.sgi.com Regarding your puts, good for you, but gambling on the future requires a lot of luck, just imagine doing that before the previous quarter announcement (when SGI beat analyst expectations by almost 100% on the upside) Glad you like the N64. It is 100% pure SGI technology and even if it were sold with a good margin it would still be much lower than PC price, now extrapolate that.
