If anyone hasn't seen this already, I think it's quite a good piece of info.

 		0_0 Wow.

not sure if that's fake or not, but wow.

Bet someone at intel stole the prototype to try and see what kind of fps he could get on counter-strike!

 		127 CPU's is most likely a super computer. Who wouldn't play CS on a super fast god like computer!

 		It's not gonna be that super though, many super computers have more like 3,000. I would also expect it to be lots of average cpu's rather then say 127 core 2 duo extremes or something. My guess is that it's a university machine some students got Steam running on.

 		I would have thought it was just a mistake in their survey software when it tried to analyse a weird processor, e.g. Damn Small Linux calls my laptop's processor a 1600Mhz Pentium II.

 		I like that term Toaster.
"The Super God-like Computer"

sounds like a good book cover
to a fantasy or science fiction book.
Like "the Golden Queen"




for more of a fantasy book cover

"Damn Small Linux"




but yeah, when will the specs be reached with existing
hardware and technolgies we now have? How far will sound
systems go and even graphics in games? Until, they reach holographic and virtual reality. How far can novel of novelty go?

here is a interesting and humorous article.
