SUN Raises Prices !!! > It is tough to tell, but I think the cost/computing ratio is > improving on SGI machines relative the competition. Hi All, last week SUN debundled the CPU, memory and disk from their base Ultra-Enterprise 450 server and raised the price of the system over 10% when they did it! Take a look at how the Origin 200 stacks up now: Sun UE450 --------- Base System with CD $11,345 250MHz/1MB CACHE CPU $2,690 128MB RAM $1,200 4.5 GB Disk $925 ------ Total $16,160 SGI O200 -------- Base System with 1 CPU & 4.5 GB Disk $11,165 128MB RAM $1,664 CD-ROM $795 ------ Total $13,624 Or put another way, a customer can buy two CPU Origin 200 for the same price as a single CPU Sun UE 450. Thanks Sun! Greetings, Christian
