No.  An O2 is about the graphics.  An Indigo2 is about the graphics.  An 
Octane is about the graphics.  Even a Crimson is about the graphics.

The Onyx is about combining mind numbing CPU horsepower with the absolute 
best graphics that money can buy.  If it was just about the graphics, then 
why would they have bothered allowing twenty some CPUs?  The Crimson could
use than many CPUs.
