Rubbish. SI+Tex also supports texturing. If you have an SI, you can upgrade and add textures. And all models support all texture qualities with 4MB of texture cache. The Indigo2 1MB TRAM flavour that didn't have the same textures supported is no more. And it doesn't push the price of an Octane up by that much.

>at least for $17K they offer texture support

Ans so does the O2, at less, and better texturing support at that. But the ZDNet benchmarks don't use it.
