Normal price of a quad 1.5 is 23K. If I use my university pricing account, it drops to under $20k. If you just go to the link Eugene gave, click 4 processors 1.5ghz 4mb cache, then update price, you will get the $23K unless you change other options. That is with 2 gigs of RAM and a single disk, rackmount chassis. anybody can check this. > > >>On January 29, 2005 at 17:12:15, Vincent Diepeveen wrote: >> >>>On January 29, 2005 at 16:52:16, Eugene Nalimov wrote: >>> >>>Yes i know certain people like you like to run a quad with just 1 processor >>>inside. >>> >>>I like to have 4. >>> >>>I clicked quad itanium2 1.6ghz and was directly at $50k when i hit update. >>> >>>That's with just a 36GB harddisk by the way. >> >>Once again: *quad* 1.5GHz -- with all four CPUs, not with one -- costs less than >>$19k. >> >>Your original post was about 1.5GHz Itanium2, not high-end ones.
