MOFFETT FIELD, Calif.--Even as Silicon Graphics Inc. trumpeted on Tuesday a new speed record with the Columbia supercomputer it built for NASA, CNET News.com has learned, it quietly submitted another, faster result: 51.9 trillion calculations per second.
Ok fine but can it stop those damn popups?

I bet solitare really moves.
How quick can you patch it?
What's the deal with Itanium? I remember when it was the next great thing and now it's under the radar.

No - I won't play another SOE game - I quit EQ about 3 years ago (more). I just read the beta reports and smile. You'll see me in WoW, probably.

It's being updated by replacing the standard G5 Mac towers with new faster G5 Mac servers. Smaller and faster. Preliminary data is that it is 20 % faster than before.
