Is that 1000 computers = 4% of Itanium-based computers? Or is that 1000
computers = 4% of Itanium CPUs?

IIRC, somewhere (but I'm not sure where) I saw stats that showed SGI
wasn't near the top in number of Itanium-based _computers_ sold, but was
in the five for number of _CPUs_ shipped. A single 256 CPU Altix is
counted as _one_ system by some statisticians and considered equivalent
to a 1 or 2 CPU system from another vendor.
