Paul, Do you mean this: Friday January 26, 8:00 am Eastern Time Press Release SOURCE: SGI SGI System Will Make the Ohio Supercomputer Center a World Leader In Production Cluster Computing Of course not... that's 73 Itanium Servers. Let's pretend those dual-processor servers cost $20000 each, we are up to $1.5 million or so. I'll toss in another million for infrastructure and switches and maybe an additional $500000 in case I missed something... now we are up to $3 million (in all likelihood the cost is probably less than two million , those Itanium servers wouldn't go for more than $20000 would they? They do hope to sell a few, don't they?) The URL you quote from isn't even a creative piece of marketing. Certainly isn't supercomputer status. I said "several hundred million". Rob
