I see a problem with this, PCI is slow.

I also looked at their website, no pictures of this device at all. Vapourware ?

Also, everything will have to be hand coded for the device so just plugging some in and expecting Word to load up a bit faster ain't going to happen.

Still, it is a great idea and I for one would like some serious parrallel processing power in a desktop rather than having to bid for time on the big iron.

Cheers

Ian
