I take it you saw the article: biz.yahoo.com Having the $3k to $4k graphics PCs by the end of the year. Also the hardware roadmap I sent out earlier explains what the general plan for all products is: sgi.com I actually feel this better than attempting to make a Wintel machine a server (since this would require hardware fixes to Intel and OS fixes for NT to make stable, perform and scale). About SGI/Cray this was a merger... And there really is a mix of people through out the world.. There really is not a Cray, that is just a name. The pros of both (hopefully grin ) are being merged. Specific notes on stregths that have been merged and helped SGI (specifically Cray contributions): - Support - F90/Fortran - Supercomputing (scaling to 1,000 - 2,000 processors T3Es) High load, high stability (Rock solid like J90s) - sgicomplib.math and Cray libsci - Science libraries - Vector SuperComputing - C++ - MPI - Clusters - ccNUMA * And MANY other merged advantages.. combine tests to better test all systems, interoperability. Well that is a general overview.. Mark
