They're going to use (they say) loosely coupled processing, and the 3700 and 3800 are suppposed to supercede all supercomputers in terms of MIPS. The lowest level 3000 that is multi processor - the 3500 - uses tightly coupled architechture, and will use up to 6 486/50's. > >If so, what software is used to achieve this.

I'm only interested in 486/33's. Which model? The 3800 is supposed to use hunderds. (and do over 100,000 MIPS!) > >Our service depot people here don't seem to know that much about it.
