I see a bunch of these P4 motherboards advertised, 2 GHz
motherboards for only 150 bucks.  What if you have an
application that requires massive parallel processing
and requires little or no communication between the
processors.  Is anyone making a grandmother board or
some kind of power supply rack that one could plug a
bunch of cheap motherboards into?  Perhaps 100 of them,
and make a cheap massively parallel computer?  Seems I
recall the computer jockeys talking about that some
time ago.
