Wow just think what you could do with that:

1. Run hundreds of virtual machines and do data processing for a fortune 100 company
2. Damn near get 3 full copies of Vista running smoothly
3. Get a RAC well over 1500 in WCG....

Actually it wasn't my first post, but #3. I've been lurking mostly before now. Glad to be a part here anyway.
