No actually they did it with signigicantly less.
Although they kind of cheated.

Yeah, wasn't this the only computer that MS could use with SQL Server to
beat Oracle's benchmark...

** The World's Fastest Computer (This Week)
Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore,
Calif., held a coming-out party this week, but it wasn't for a debutante--it
was to dedicate the world's fastest computer, a silicon belle named ASCI
White. And this young lady knows how to cook. It works at speeds of 12.3
teraflops, or trillion floating operations per second--faster than the
combined speed of the next three most powerful machines on earth.
The $110 million IBM supercomputer consists of 8,192 off-the-shelf IBM
Power-3-II processors. It's got four terabytes of RAM and disk capacity of
more than 160 terabytes, and it fills a computer room longer than two
basketball courts. There's 49.3 miles of cable connecting the nodes of the
machine, and it requires enough power to cool 765 homes.
