Hi all,

Doing some reading in the afternoon... and I saw one of these...

http://www.cray.com/products/xt3/

I wonder if they come with 7900GTX cards as an optional extra... scientists at Aldermaston (britians nuclear research lab) have just ordered one, which makes me wonder if they want to run F.E.A.R on full settings?? ;)

Or it could be that they are researching into replacing Trident, which is supposed to be top secret but well underway :)

Over the past five years the British Government has spent £300 million refurbishing the Atomic Weapons Establishment in Aldermaston, Berkshire. It is hiring an extra 1,000 scientists and engineers. It has bought a supercomputer capable of three trillion calculations per second...

Anyway... thought that you might be interested, I am ;)

with a cray, you don't need a graphics card, you can tell the OS to divert whole banks of processors to render the graphics
