SGI used to make the SGI 750, which was a UP/DP Itanium box.  They would
sell it to you fully loaded with dual 733MHz chips and 2GB of memory for
only $19k.  But they EOLed it with the rest of the Intel group.  It was a
half-hearted sort of workstation, using only ATI graphics and SGI's
distribution of Linux--which you were expected to fork over $495 for.
