| 733059 | 2008-12-28 21:40:00 | Yeah i am real keen to try this out Some of our solving programs take 8-15 hours to complete on a Dell PentiumD 3.0 with 4 gigs ram and scsi hdds which cost $10k 3 years ago. Have improved this buy 10% by going to a Dell 3.0 dual core at another $6k, but the cost of building a supercompter is like $$, but to have a server cabinet full of PS3's would be impressive to show the clients eh And have the xboxes as file servers, would be a sight to behold especially a crystal model, camo one ... Would be a novelty to try, but the cost savings in hardware and time would be enormous once setup if it worked. And if it died, another 500 bucks for a new one Wonder if the boss would let me buy a PS3??? |
