Jim, >>>Did you read that article the other day that some Utah company
is claiming the highest performance supercomputer built around
an array of FPGA based processors? "...

I saw that. Did you see the price? $26 million a pop. Isn't that a little steep?<<<

I think you're talking about a different animal here, of the Cray sort. After Lawrence Livermore buys one (they buy one of everything that comes out) you wonder who will buy the next one. Sandia, Berkeley, ??? These are extremely low quantity, not general purpose like Intel based machines target.
