Replying to: dusti (Apr 16, 2002 3:53 pm) I primarily use Windows for websurfing, e-mail and games for my children (nothing that requires a full bore game rig) In fact, I believe the fastest processor in my home is a Celeron 766. I just finished installing one our new E12000 systems for the US Air Force. Nice rig. Maximum configuration is 52 processors and 288GB of RAM. Typical configuration is 36 processors with 144GB of RAM and 9 IO boats that contain 4 IO cards each. It can be divided into anywhere between one and nine seperate domains. The E15000 is essentially twice the E12K with 106 processors max and 576GB max, but typically 72 procs with 288GB RAM and of course twice the max number of IO boats and domains. Most will not be running this at home as it requires 6 30A power circuits and some serious climate control. Not to mention it is 3000# fully loaded in the shipping crate. (Weighs a bit less when all the packing material is removed.) See all the details at: http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/SunFire15K/spec.html And I believe they are cheaper than the E10000 was when it was released about 5 years ago. (Bringing it back onto topic) TB Thinking maybe my next car needs to be the automotive equivalent of Linux, the kit car

Replying to: dusti (Apr 16, 2002 3:53 pm) The importer guy was not there...He is in Canada buying 4x4 trucks to bring over ! I mentioned to the mgr. about GM cutting off warranty work on Can. vehicles. He said "since when" ?). He did mention that Chrysler is/has cut off warranty repaIRS. On used cars too ! He says he don't know how much it cost to bring them over. Yea right..I think he was trying to give me the dust off. Loopholes closing quick !.geo |

Replying to: dikran (Jun 29, 2002 12:11 pm) Class action...so let me see, if consumers win I may see $3.00 for my 2002 new car purchase. At least maybe the courts will put an end to the practice of not honoring Canadian warranties in the US. Are there any websites that list manufacturer policies on this issue? |

Replying to: dikran (Jun 29, 2002 12:11 pm) I'm not taking sides here .. but, the overhead in build cost, is also about 25% less in Canada (alot has do with Govt subsides and allowances there) -- So, should we just close all the plants in the US, knock 500,000+++ folks out of work and open all production in Canada -- Or, let's get really aggressive, let's close every plant in the US and Canada, then open up 9/10 plants in China, that should get the prices waaay down ..!
