Indigo2 might
look bad next to an Octane, but in many things it will
trash or keep up with O2, so don't knock it yet.
Sure. The O2 has its very
speciffic features, but it isn't quite a speed
daemon. At least the R5k versions. The O2 has still better IO (Wide
SCSI, 100 MBit/s Ethernet) and with a bit of luck you can get a cheap
1600SW + O2 adapter...
Something else to keep in mind is that the O2 only supports 32-bit
apps, while the Octane supports 64-bit apps.
