Fook this thing is so good it can even warp time and space: performing more than 200,000 years of computational work over its four-year lifetime.

I wonder if they are running Vista or XP on it?

no, no gpu... just drivers to run it all on the regular cpu's, you could have one one core render each pixel... that would be balls... and i think it's prolly running some form of linux. when you spend that much on hardware you don't want it to be crashing all the time, haha!

:lol: They are running some thing like OpenMosix.

They should have used Q6600s.

 

Too bad youll have to re write the entire program (Crysis and other games) to take use of all that power.
