Posted June 11, 200816 yr So these guys used 20,000 cell processors (much like the ones used for PS3s) and created a computer that runs at petaflop speeds (aka, it can calculate in one day what everyone in the world working together could with hand calculators in 46 years.)

June 11, 200816 yr my laptop will pwn dis shit!! yeah boyea!!! http://www.photosalaquang.com/uploaded_images/yeah-boy-705365.jpg
June 11, 200816 yr My laptop is from the 31st century. It has 1000 googaflops worth of processing power.

June 13, 200816 yr captainamerica said: how many ghz, and who the fuck needs a computer that fast?? Each processor runs at 4ghz. Why do they need such powerful computer to do the calculation of our nuclear stockpile ?
June 13, 200816 yr Quote OverlordQ;567829']It would game nice' date=' but run everything else like shit.[/quote'] No OS's that can game which can/will support it.
