    They need our support, guys, let's rack up huge bandwidth bills and see if we can set their web server on fire!

    Nothing like a good ol' slashdotting to bring a business back in the black.

    1 Intel MHz = 1 AMD MHz = 1 Crusoe MHz.

    Performance is another thing, but one million cycles per second is the same thing in every friggin supercluster. Sorry to burst your bubble of different MHz measurements, but I guess truth always hertz.
