    petaflop... its the next step up from a gigaflop... apple's g4 cpu did the first gigaflop (for consumers) so apparently we have reached 1000x the power of the first generation g4 (400mhz?)

    or wait... is it gigaflop, teraflop, petaflop? hmm... that would be one million times more powerful. wow. lol.

    anywho, sounds good. why we need it? unknown. sign it up for seti@home and folding and all those others, and then watch that comp do a workload every 10 seconds.

    thanks mitsugi. i wanna know what apple/ibm's ppc990 will run like... those beasts will be at 8ghz by 2006... 64-bit, multi-core, maybe even dual cpu's... that'll be one fast bitch of a computer.

    What's your take on Apple's, possibly switching processors, from Motorola to an Pentium or AMD?

    Wow, think of all the divx movies you could encode with that. It would take like 3.7 seconds to encode a whole DVD to Xvid.

    LOL, seti@home.

    When I'm a millionaire, I'll buy one of these.

    I would use a PC, and install MacOS 11. LOL. Actually I don't know, probably not. Well, depends on which has more DRM involved.
