Maybe, Anne - But I'd LOVE to find out the hard way! Just had a look at the specs of the Cray T3E-900. Would you believe 2048 CPU's ? These systems are rated in "Nano-Second" rates, not in MegaHertz which would be too slow! Sorry to be ranting, but you got me started, and now I just have to have one of these! Wanna bet that my Electrical bill would go through the roof? The Hydro company would have to hook my place up as it's own node on their grid, so I could run the system and the Air Conditioning in the room.
