I did take that into consideration. However the upgrade path to 256bit FPU should be a very good upgrade since we know most organizations using a cray will most likely benefit from that for their scientific research.
Also we've only seen AMD handing over 1 box of CPU's to Cray, this may only be for a single cray customer, how many others did not chose this upgrade?
