<<Did you also hear that Intel just sold a multi-processor system to a government agency (I think it was Sandia Labs, but not sure) for many millions of dollars. It is supposed to be the fastest computer ever designed. It uses 9,000 (nine thousand) Pentium Pro's.>> 9,000 processors! Now, hold on a minute. Did they give any details on how it worked? It must be parallel system running it's own specialized operating system. I don't even want to ask how much RAM they ordered with that little baby! <g> Gee, that is going to take all day to replace those processors when they find that bug they have surely left in the new P6 <G> But, hey, who cares if it's for a government agency, accuracy isn't "that" important.
