Personally I'd wait until they come out with a vectorizing 'C' compiler.
They are planning on it, but I don't remember getting a firm date on it.
From what I could gather from talking to the salesman at NCGA conf., if
you don't use the vectorizing Fortran compiler to exploit the hardware,
you won't see nearly the performance you would want at that price.
