However, the CS6400 could be configured with four to 64 processors on quad XDBusses at 55 MHz, compared with the SPARCcenter 2000's maximum of 20 on dual XDBusses at 40 or 50 MHz and the SPARCserver 1000's maximum of 8 on a single XDBus. 300: 243: 371: 344: 293: 79: 57: 247: 219: 364: 320: 334: 185: 665: 329: 195: 50: 44: 660: 357: 650: 131: 61: 544: 655: 208: 112: 104: 244:"Amdahl and Cray Research Announce Reseller Agreement For Branded Cray Superserver 6400 Systems" 194:
