Blue Gene/L should fit into half a tennis court, or about 1,400 square
feet.
Also using 440GX processor?--okay lots of them--well lots and lots of
them--actually more than you could shake a stick at.
At the end of the day,bet it doesnt have any usb ports to upload to your
ipod.
Wonder if it will run far cry without locking up?---hmm they didnt say
about the graphics,probably going to use a geforce or summat--well if
they can find somewhere to slot it in.
IBM already has spent more than the original $100 million budgeted for
the project ---so guess we wont see it for sale in staples in the near
future---might be in maplin/radioshack coming soon section tho.
I hope they put some of those funky neon lights on it--might aswell let
the neighbours know you bought a new pc.
Just pondering how you would wire all that into a 240v wall
socket?--probably got to spur it off the street lights.
