Paul, Ten, et al, I think I mentioned SGI's new Intel based workstations before as having outstanding "visual technology", something SGI has always been noted for. One of the guys went to an SGI kickoff at their HQ a few months ago and came back wanting to buy nothing but SGI! Now, they're the first to announce quad PIII Xeon workstations. I personally hope SGI makes it all the way back, having a fondness for value added through engineering creativity efforts. From their website: sgi.com ====================================================================== SGI Wins PCWeek's Coveted Best New Technology Award for Silicon Graphics 540 Visual Workstation Industry's Only Quad-Processor Workstation Takes Top Honors in Technology Category Spring COMDEX, CHICAGO (April 20, 1999) -- SGI (NYSE: SGI) today announced that its line of visual workstations for Windows® NT® continues to gain recognition in the industry with the Silicon Graphics® 540 visual workstation winning top honors from PCWeek's "Best of Comdex" Awards. Silicon Graphics 540, the industry's only quad-enabled Intel® Pentium® III XeonTM system on the market today, was honored for its innovative architecture and breakthrough performance in the new technology category. The product, which will be honored in an awards ceremony at Spring Comdex, is on display in the SGI suite, Room S502A, South Hall, McCormick Place. Last month, SGI announced its support for the latest Intel Pentium III Xeon processors on the Silicon Graphics 540 visual workstation. The announcement reflects SGI's strategy of leveraging industry-standard technologies while providing differentiated product solutions. The Silicon Graphics 540 visual workstation is designed to deliver the industry's most scalable computing capabilities at mainstream pricing. Silicon Graphics 540 supports up to four Intel Pentium III Xeon 500MHz processors and also will support the Intel Pentium III Xeon 550MHz processor when it becomes available. When configured with an Intel Pentium III Xeon 500MHz processor, the system is priced beginning at $6,495 (U.S. list), and is scheduled to ship in the second quarter of 1999. "We are pleased that PCWeek has recognized the truly innovative technology in the Silicon Graphics 540 visual workstation with this prestigious award," said Tom Furlong, vice president and general manager, Workstation Division, SGI. "SGI is committed to moving our visual technology into mainstream markets and Silicon Graphics 540, with its breakthrough price/performance on industry standard platforms, is leading the way." The cost-effective design of SGI's Integrated Visual Computing (IVC) architecture harnesses the additional power of Intel® processors for most geometry-based operations, thereby maximizing customers' investment in new processor technology. All of SGI's new visual workstations for Windows NT feature a CobaltTM graphics chipset that was designed to fully support Intel's new processors. When the new processors are combined with Silicon Graphics® SIMD optimized graphics drivers, the new visual workstation delivers the industry's highest level of professional graphics and media capabilities.
