See the appended blurb from one of our sales guys.

I thought you might find this interesting. The 8-way opteron system is a
Western Scientific FusionA8 with 64GB RAM. It ran some high profile
calculations, which have appeared in the national news today ("Sage
Supercomputer" refers to the machine):
Thanks Mike. I drilled down and the datasheet is
http://www.wsm.com/datasheets/fusiona8_ds_030507.pdf
Seems like some nice mission-criticality characteristics, e.g. the redundant
power supplies built into the case, but if it were me, nutty mathematicians
doing something nutty, would I prefer a large number of disposalble nodes?
Not that they need to go faster than 3 days (compared to 4 years of design)
but they could futz around with it throughout the four years for cheap. But
I'm preaching to the Choir?
