Tony You wrote The term supercomputer has gotten cheapened a lot recently. String together a bunch of PCs like Christmas lights, and someone will call it a supercomputer.

Thanks for that input.
The reality of the matter is that even though a few - literally one or two or possibly three - "supercomputers" have been made using AMD-based CPUS in a network, milo's contention that these represent a significant market share gain is preposterous. Three or four "supercomputer" servers out of the millions of Intel-based systems doesn't even appear on the radar screen.
