Yeah, wasn't this the only computer that MS could use with SQL Server to beat Oracle's benchmark...

• The World's Fastest Computer (This Week)

Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, Calif., held a coming-out party this week, but it wasn't for a debutante--it was to dedicate the world's fastest computer, a silicon belle named ASCI White. And this young lady knows how to cook. It works at speeds of 12.3 teraflops, or trillion floating operations per second--faster than the combined speed of the next three most powerful machines on earth.

The $110 million IBM supercomputer consists of 8,192 off-the-shelf IBM Power-3-II processors. It's got four terabytes of RAM and disk capacity of more than 160 terabytes, and it fills a computer room longer than two basketball courts. There's 49.3 miles of cable connecting the nodes of the machine, and it requires enough power to cool 765 homes.
