How about two CPUs for $198,400? From this month's SunExpert:
"The top-of-the-line Enterprise 6500 can hold a maximum of 30 CPUs, two 8.4-Gig
disk boards (each containing two drives) more than 375 GB of rack-mounted
storage in the system cabinet and 30 GB of memory. A basic configuration with
8.4 GB of internal storage, 256 MB of memory and two CPUs costs $198,400 for a
250-Mhz version, and $204,400 for a 336-Mhz version"
Besides the ability to hold 30 GB of RAM, and 1/3 GB of disk, what could
possibly make it so expensive? Does the Intel SMP arch support 30 CPUs?
The picture is not very good, but it looks as high as a convention refrigerator.
