But does it run Windows software? That is the 64,000 dollar question.

There's gotta be a version of BSD Unix ported to it by now ;-)

Linux supposedly has a version that runs on Crays, so BSD Unix shouldn't be
far behind.
I just don't want to have to own my own power generation plant and sub
station just to run my damned computers. Besides, with that power
(processors, ram, etc.), I'd rather just get a loaded quad AMD Opteron
system that uses much less power and works with Windows, Linux, etc.
...Besides the fact that the quad Opteron systems would fit nicely under my
desk because they are the size of a regular mid-tower system. =)

Imagine -- spam to every e-mail addy in existence in the blink of an eye.
Or DDoS attacks to every server. Would definitely need braodband access
though.

a system I found at the noaa had four processors and was rated at 200 MFlop/s
http://www.ncep.noaa.gov/NCO/NCCF/NCEP-HPC/tsld005.htm
ORNL eval of opteron showed 2*Mhz. their test was on a 1800mhz or 3600 MFlop /
sec
http://www.csm.ornl.gov/~dunigan/opteron/
sounds like the opteron might win.

While the Opteron might in fact win (let's face it - the Js were not
really supercomputers), that comparison simply does not hold water.
Mflops are basically meaningless unless they can be sustained.
