We have 2 540's & 3 320's which were bought with the potential long term goal
of
linux, but we'll throw them at AfterAffects now :)

> Will a third party pick this up?

Personally, I'm not sure I care, I'm more interested in the rumours of new
boxs :),
let's face it the 320/540 have had their day, the new gen box's are going to
walk
over them, but the hardest thing for us, is getting a box with the digital
media
capabilities of the O2 (no the 540 under NT is not as good, faster yeah, more
stable
no, NT kills it & the DM drivers are not rock unlike IRIX), please please
SGI
performer for SGI is way cool, now dmedia, please (don't make me get on my
knees it's
not a pretty sight)..
