Umm - actually, upgraded from 1.5 to _1.9_ Ghz, as well as 6 Mb to 36 Mb
L3 caches and 768 GB to 2 TB of RAM. Nbr of CPUs would of course need to
remain the same (both had 64). Oh yeah, and around $10 million dollars
of change to spend on something ($6,541,770 cf $16,669,230), perhaps a
switch or two.
