Hi, 

It came from SGI that way :)  I havnt peeked under the hood, except to
remove the single dual dual IP25 to use in the onyx, thereby leaving me
with 32 processors.  It has 4 fully populated MC3 boards.  Interesting
about the 18+ processors, how much performance decrease/processor did
you see ??
