Wow. They leaped ahead. Maybe it will be a wakeup call for other countries to step it up. 12.66 MW of power is insane. It wouldn't take long at all to burn through a grand just in electricity :o One site said it costs about $10 mil a year to run, or about $1150 an hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Ah now you see, I'm building a pc, and I wouldn't have gone sparc - and there's no mention of sli/crossfire support...:lol:


Seriously thou those are some scary stats, I've read it twice and tbh, cant get a real grasp of what they signify other than this would really kick *** at adding stuff up!

How is the graphics on that thing? Can it run full-screen flash without tearing?

Because really, that's the only thing that matters.

What you mean to ask is: "Can it play Crysis?"
