A real box can total flood a bundle of gigabit fiber
the diameter of your right leg, its the I/O that sets
these monsters apart really, their CPUs are no
slouch, but not any faster than a common modern
PC chip.
So, by "emulated," you didn't mean to imply that they were emulated
in such a manner as to be replaced by the peesee -- that is the
misunderstanding here, I'm sure. :)
Anyway, I've always subscribed to the school of thought which says
that the CPU should do only that which can't be accomplished with
special purpose chips. It makes things much more elegant.
