Yeah it could, except that it's 4X more expensive. The list price for our 2 X 2.0Ghz Opteron system is around $6000. For the two-way 1.5Ghz Madison system that gets 30 SPEC FP rate it's $26,000. >For integer performance story is different, but that thread was about FP >performance, right? :-) > >Thanks, >Eugene
