Title: 1100 G5's to build the fastest puter
Post by: Mrious_be on August 31, 2003, 10:12:50 AM

I was like when i read this.
1100 G5's, each with about 4Gb of ram hooked up to eachother, to make it the fastest computer on earth.
Apple confirmed it and said that the 1100 G5's are on their top delivery list.
First them, than the rest... i guess now we know why the G5's (duals) were delayed

I wonder which 64-bit OS they will choose to run their cluster on?
