    Default Tyan Typhoon PSC personal supercomputer

    Pure overkill. But I bet it could run RTW pretty well.


    The company said two models are available immediately, based on AMD Opteron 200 series processors or Pentium D processors. Each is configured as four cluster nodes with two processors each. The AMD model accommodates up to 64GB of DDR400/333 registered memory, with the Intel model taking up to 32GB of DDR2-667/533 unbuffered memory. There are eight Gigabit Ethernet ports and capacity for four Serial ATA HDD devices.

    Not realy.
    RTW can only run on one core, so it won't run any fatser no matter how much CPU's you put in.
    And 1GB of RAM is more than enough, any additional RAM won't even be used by RTW.

    And I won't even call this a "supercomputer".
    It's more like a powerfull server.

    Not far from my home is a supercomputer with 550 3.4Ghz Xeon processors.
    I don't know how much RAM it has, but it wil range into the Terrabytes.
    Now THAT'S a supercomputer.
