Oloolo, SPD is definitely an intriguing product, considering that it allows one to take advantage of the benefits of multi-processor platforms.  You can read everything there is to know about the SAS Scalable Performance Data Engine at the following link:

If your organization does end up buying it, could I please borrow it on the weekends:-)

Oloolo, best of luck in all your SAS endeavors!

I hope that this suggestion proves helpful now, and in the future!
