Heck if I know, I don't design the supercomputers. And I really dont think that the CPU architecture is the limiting factor in a clustered computer, anyways. I was talking with guys in the C&C division, not the people designing the computer. All I see as important is that the NCSA is going to try, after all. What's worst is, they had 2 matching offers, so had they won the $45 mil, they would have had a total of over $100 to play with.
