"Cray Inc. of Seattle will supply the system, named Baker. It will run approximately 24,000 2.6 Ghz quad-core Opteron processors made by Advanced Micro Devices Inc. The nodes will be housed in 187 liquid-cooled cabinets. The system, which is still in early stages of design, will have either 187 or 400 terabytes of working memory (depending on the cost of memory modules) and from one to 11 petabytes of storage. "

I want one.

Depending on what type of VPU solution, memory speed and hard drive speed it uses, it would be better than anything currently available today. It would be fun to overclock those opterons.

That would make one kickass websurfing computer.

11 petabytes = lots of porn

Ten bucks says it won't do word processing

I bet it actually only has really crappy integrated graphics or most likely a bunch of quadros for 3D rendering.
