Price is high very more that 50% of the price go on the CPU itsel fthat is way to high.Unless your software need massive FPU and bandwith and this is very important.I bit surprise that a workstation is release before 0.13 I2.Also from what i found I2 is not allwayse faster that a plain P4 on this type of workload.
