Incredible....

Virginia Tech's supercomputer is comprised of 1100 dual-core PowerMac G5's, bringing it in at just over 10 teraflops of processing power.

The entire system cost $5.2 million and took only three weeks to build... It came in as the third fastest supercomputer in the world, and cost $210 million less than the 13.88 teraflop supercomputer at the Los Alamos Lab.

Check out the video here!

Wonder if CS3 might actually work on that...

(Probably not)

lol probably not... but that would be sweet.

Kind of old news (2006)... though still impressive.
The VATech supercomputer came in as 7th in the world for supercomputers.

well then... i stand corrected.

it is still cool though!

just imagine what they could do with 8-core mac pros! :-)

Look up flops on wiki and you'll see how far we have come in just a few years.
Below is a quote from wikipedia. Playstation 3's run at 2 teraflops, that is just amazing. All the work that those guy did just a few years ago could probably be done with one quick trip to gamespot.

"2007, October: about $0.20 per GFLOPS with the cheapest retail Sony PS3 console, at US$400, that runs at a claimed 2 teraFLOPS; these figures represent the processing power of the GPU. The seven CPUs run collectively at a lower 218 GFLOPS."

lol thats insane
