  4,000 euro supercomputer:p These guys built a super computer out of a pc with 4 NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 graphics cards. Total cost is under 4,000 euros. They say it outperforms a 300 CPU supercomputer made of core2duo cpus. I find that statement a tad questionable (300!?) but whatever. It's still neat.

Pity there are no games that would make use of that power. Games probably lag like hell on it.

Hahaha, did you guys watch the video explaining the system?
http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=DnIvodB2R ... 27538.html If you ever want to see a Dutch nerd speaking English, this is your chance! Apart from that, I attended that University. Obviously I didn't have much to do with the medical faculty (read: nothing at all) but they were right next to us. Used to play squash there...laugh at all the skinny dudes. 
On another note: this is actually the future. Nvidia is working on a CPU that would combine the CPU and GPU once again into one unit, like in the days of old. In a couple of years' time we won't have the dichotomy of CPU/GPU anymore. _________________ "I find a Burger Tank in this place? I'm-a be a one-man cheeseburger apocalypse." - Coach |
