[digg-reddit-me]No, really.

It’s not really a supercomputer; it’s a cluster.  Specifically, it’s an eight node cluster in one box.  Each node can have up to two Quad Xeons and up to 64 gig of RAM, meaning the box, maxed out, would be running 64 cores and half a terabyte of ram.  It runs Windows Server HPC 2008, which is why Microsoft is involved.

No word on how decked out the box is at $25,000, but it’s supposed to be selling on Amazon starting today, and Amazon’s good about giving out specs.  As of this writing it isn’t yet available.
