1100 G5's to build the fastest puter
« on: August 31, 2003, 10:12:50 AM »
I was like ohmy.gif 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 wacko.gif

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