- Compaq, DEC, Continental, Everex, ALR, Corrollary, and a few others make SMP
- Intel boxes. They start at about $13000 for a base system, and go up from
- their. Most of them use a CPU/Memory/Cache bus based on Corrolary's C-bus.
- They currently run SCO UNIX with SCO MPX (Multiprocessing Extention).

- I think Banyan has a Vines SMP version out, and maybe even Novell.
