No, no it won't. :p

Where are you getting that? That sounds like a hell of a computer.

If you don't mind my asking, what is "F@H" and what processor is that?

I got the main part at hp.com.

The drives and adapters will have to come from Newegg.

F@H is Folding@Home, click the link in my sig for details.
Is there even a version of F@H that'll run on those CPUs?

Did you check your sense of reality at the door?
128xPA-8800 Processors
1048576MB DDR ECC Memory
192 LSI MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 Host Adapters with 64MB onboard memory {only 64MB each?}
15360 Fujitsu 147GB 10K SCSI Drives (2.26 EB Total Storage)

Don't want to sound like a jackass, but read that a little closer.

Heh, it was a joke.

I was bored and tried to find the best system I could. The 9000 really does accept up to 1TB of memory, and has 192 PCI slots. That system *is* possible, but would be at least $9M.
