This might be old news to you, but I wasn't sure of this, til' today.

The New VPC, which supposedly will be under $4K, comes with no monitor, not adequate RAM and virtually bare to the bone.

Thus, the demo version, that the nation saw during Gates presentation during Comdex, will cost something around $6-7K (one proc) depending on the configuration. Just $2.5K for that particular monitor.

Whether SGI can compete in the NT market with such pricing, I don't know. I am however certain that few Visual savvy engineers/users will buy into this, but I would be very surprised if that would create enough volume, to get SGI back on its feet.

I am interested to hear from you: "non-engineers" and "non-SGI-employees", if you are willing/able to pay $6-7K for your PC?
