The Team level supports 8 to 16 Itanium 2 processors, up to 192 GB of memory and four to eight graphics pipes. The Extreme level supports 16 to 256 Itanium 2 processors, up to 3 TB of memory and 4 to 16 graphics pipes.
The graphics pipes used in the Prism are ATI FireGL cards based on either the R350 or R420 GPUs.
