[Dow Hurst]

SGI Unveils Breakthrough Support for up to 256 Processors on SGI(r) Altix(r) 
Systems Running on Single Linux(r) Kernel.

In an industry first, Silicon Graphics announced the worldwide availability of 
SGI Altix systems running up to 256 Intel Itanium2 processors within a single 
instance of the Linux operating system. The record-breaking accomplishment is 
the end result of an international Altix beta program originally targeted to 
achieve just half the scalability of today's 256-processor milestone.
