The machine in the article, Perpetua, is extremely expensive: Begins at 150 - 200K for 8 (eight) K6's. If you want reliability, for a little more money, you can get an 8-way SMP IBM S390 CMOS machine with an MTBF of 30 years and probably 10 times more powerful. Or, a Sun E series, almost as good. Patmos, Perpetua, Parpois, Limbix, nMime: this is a joke, right? These guys ought to be put into feature naming jail, if nothing else.
