Please, name this system.  I have never heard of PPros being used in
massive parallel.  In fact, I'm pretty sure you can't do that with
PPro chips.  You can massively parallel UltraSPARC chips and Alphas.

Besides, wouldn't you say the most powerful computer that is publicly
known (i.e., not known only to a segment of the scientific community)
is Deep Blue?
