Cray's CX1 Desktop Supercomputer, Now For Sale

Posted by timothy on from the was-promised-is-here dept.

ocularb0b writes "Cray has announced the CX1 desktop supercomputer. Cray teamed with Microsoft and Intel to build the new machine that supports up to 8 nodes, a total of 64 cores and 64Gb of memory per node. CX1 can be ordered online with starting prices of $25K, and a choice of Linux or Windows HPC. This should be a pretty big deal for smaller schools and scientists waiting in line for time on the world's big computing centers, as well as 3D and VFX shops."

  1. Have they run Vista Upgrade Advisor on it Yet? by wazzzup · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Just curious to see, you know, if it's ready for Vista yet.

  2. I don't know... by GameboyRMH · · Score: 0, Redundant

    But the real question is, can it run Vista with Aero Glass on?
