Not only did a piddly $5.2 million buy the third fastest supercomputer in the world (you could buy a hundred of these for the price of the rest of the Top 10), but it's made of 1,100 new PowerMacs.
But it gets worse! IBM is working on a new supercomputer using PowerPC chips, not Intel, that will rank at #1 when it comes out next year. It'll be the most compact supercomputer for the power delivered, and, too bad for you, it'll be running Linux.
