Virginia Tech's X Cluster went operational recently, becoming the third ranking supercomputer in the world. Built from 1100 dual 2Ghz 64-bit Apple G5 workstations, the VT cluster is measured at 10.28 trillion calculations per second - which, in lay terms, is pretty darn fast. Here are two photos of the project team ordering the G5s. So, do you just log on to the Apple Store with your American Express card and type 1100 in the qty. box?
