So that's where the action was! (no new high-end hardware, too many things
to do, and so many people at the booth made me just walk through it. [Well,

Was it a dual processor system? What happens if you use just one?

Is this the Intrinsic Graphics' technology SGI is allegedly not very
interested in?
