    A million Quad cores? I'd use 'em to figure out why the Beagle 2 Mars probe crashed... and then do it properly myself.

    Crunching data for F@H and gather loads of points for the hexus team in the process.

    Or...

    Feed in all the lottery results from the start and see if there is any patterns emerging from the results and then put the 6 most commonly drawn out on for the weekend

    Umm, the National Lottery website tracks the most popular numbers for you already... except if they do ever come up you and 10 million other people will be sharing the jackpot...

    Re: What would you do with a Million Quad Cores ?

    Do you think if I used a Million Quad Cores to very accurately calculate the chance of Kate Beckinsale wanting me to escort her for dinner etc, then the improved accuracy of the final number would actually increase my chances ?...

    .
    .

    I kept 6 trusted serving men, they taught me all I knew.
    There names were what and where and why and how and when and who.


    (I also had the HEXUS forums on speed dial just in case )

    Ah... I never visit that website as there are far more interesting sites to waste my time surfing and oogling at

    Would it play Crysis properly on full settings?
