If you don’t think that a 133MHz 604 is fast enough for you, Firepower Systems Inc’s OEM customer IPC Technologies Inc has announced its Austin PowerPlay2 workstation. It is built around two 100MHz PowerPC 604s in a symmetric multiprocessing configuration, running under Microsoft Corp’s Windows NT 3.51. The machine costs $7,500 for a box with 32Mb of memory, 4Mb of Video RAM, 1Gb hard drive, quad-speed SCSI CD-ROM drive and a 17 colour monitor. The machine does have only two PCI expansion slots and two AT slots, but the company points out that audio, video, NTSC-in video capture, SCSI-2 and Ethernet are included on the motherboard.
