Silicon Graphics on Monday is expected to release a new high-end visualization machine that marks a major change for the company: reliance on mainstream video technology from ATI.
Very nice machine... Only one fault it has. It is something expensive. Just this. I was asked software prices for system years ago. Yes I did myself...
Don't ask me. But I can say more then machine is.
I was asked "smallest one"... with reasonable software !
with 64 of SGI's MIPS 16000A processors cost well over $300,000.
Yes, very expensive. For professional use only.

That system will be able to handle screens with 120 million pixels--the picture elements that make up computer screen images--and will be able to draw 40 billion pixels per second, SGI said.
But that is alot of power!
