    Is it possible that the technique mentioned would work on a Windows system??

      I don't know, but I hear Windows and Mac have a lot of compatibility issues, so my guess would be no

              Apple G5

              The fastest supercomputer in the world is made out of apple G5's all linked and honey-combed together.
              Did Everquest teach you that?

                Indeed! And it's certainly not lacking in substance either, considering it has a full desktop processor inside...

                According to Top500 the NEC Earth Simulator is still the world's fastest supercomputer. I don't even see the Virginia Tech cluster on the list anymore.

                  Your right. I could swear though that it was a group of 49 G5's down at Georgia Tech in their ST building.

                        I came very close to buying my wife a G5. I ended up getting her an iBook instead. I feel like I have been seduced by the dark side.

                          How has the iBook been so far? I am thinking of getting an iBook or a Powerbook but still cant decide yet. Going to be my first Mac too.

                            Had I been buying it for myself I would have gone with the Powerbook. My wife is mainly using it for web, mail, and photo editing so the iBook was plenty for her needs. I don't know how a person survives without a PCMCIA slot.

                            Overall, I think the iBook is pretty spiffy. If you don't need 'Power User' functionality, I would go with it. If you plan to do more than the basics, I would step on up to the Powerbook.

                            That said, I would see what feedback, if any, you get from bascule, FAWCR, or other long time Mac users since their input is probably more valuable.

                              Thanks for the information,I too will be using it for basic need's so thats why I am leaning more towards the iBook. The Powerbook, is nice but pushes my budget a bit.
                              PS. Some more feedback would be nice,
