Richard - Re: "the following is an announcement of the SGI ccNUMA line. SGI's plan is to transition these machines to IA-64 although it's unclear to me how long they will maintain a MIPS line." Thanks for the SGI article. The newly announced cNUMA line sounds like it IS a MIPS based product - since the OS described was 64 bit IRIX and existing software will run on the new machines. I wish these guys a lot of luck - they are trying to dig themselves out of a whole while supporting MIPS based systems as well as their newer x86 Xeon based systems - while also developing "future" IA64 machines, as you noted. That is one big mouthful to chew - even for a healthy company. Paul
