MojoKid writes: "Part of the allure of AMD's Eyefinity multi-display technology is its flexibility. There are many different screen configurations that can be supported.

The remaining four screens extend outward, offering an unparalleled field of view."

Submission + - SETI@Home is now the World's Fastest Supercomputer
jemecki writes: I was looking through the distributed computing statistics at BOINCstats today and I noticed that SETI@Home distributed computing grid just passed 280 TeraFLOPS in computing power. The reason this is so remarkable is that the fastest supercomputer in the world Blue Gene/L ALSO operates at a sustained 280 TeraFLOPS. So while governments are busy using their supercomputers to model bombs and nuclear weapons, the geeks have put together the world's fastest computer and they're using it to look for aliens. Awesome.
