"Initial price lists indicated that the chip would range in cost from
$4,227 for an 800MHz Itanium with 4MB of performance-enhancing tertiary
cache memory to over $3,500 for a 733MHz Itanium with 2MB of tertiary
cache."
Unless the floating point performance is 22X a PIII or Athlon or until
the IA-64 prices plummet I don't think we'll be seeing many of these in
the Beowulf world :-)
