I honestly cannot imagine the cost involved here for such a system. Regards, Jonathan Aquilina EagleEyeT

Video cards fill an ISA card slot (in my day an uber gaming rig could use two in tandem in adjacent slots). Mine was a box about the length of my hand that filled the card, it had appreciable memory, maybe a quarter of my core. I can imagine that scaling up. Probably can do well with LINPACK :-) Peter On Fri, Jun 12, 2020 at 6:28 AM Jonathan Engwall <engwalljonathanther...@gmail.com<mailto:engwalljonathanther...@gmail.com>> wrote: Yes, it may.
