Wired News: Turn That PC Into a Supercomputer
Topic: Technology 4:52 pm EDT, Oct 14, 2003

] An ordinary desktop PC outfitted with six PCI cards,
] each containing four of the chips, would perform at
] about 600 gigaflops (or more than half a teraflop).

] At this level of performance, the PC would qualify as one
] of the 500 most powerful supercomputers in the world.

] "At 3 watts, you could put it in a PCMCIA card," said
] McIntosh-Smith. "With two chips on a PC Card, you can
] have 50 gigaflops on a laptop, running off a battery.
] That's equivalent to a small Linux cluster on your
] notebook."

Its the FPU from hell!
