Hi Larry (& all),

I'll have to stick purely to the publically-released information. For those
with interest in NDA-style information: it is available, contact your sales rep.

ATI. (http://www.sgi.com/developers/technology/linux/graphics/coding.html)
Incidentally, we first previewed these Itanium-based Visualization Systems
for Linux at the LinuxWorld conference in January:

 "SGI Launches Initiative to Dramatically Improve
  Linux Visualization Capabilities"
  http://www.sgi.com/newsroom/press_releases/2004/january/initiative.html

There are now "developer" systems coming available, (sales reps have more
info). See the web sites:
