One very capable machine worth mentioning is Masscomp.  It runs 4 or more
25 MHz 68030's, 128+ megs RAM, and X-Windows over Unix.  It runs real-time
Unix, which reportedly allows any or all of the CPUs to run Unix while
those not running Unix dedicate themselves to computation and I/O.  This
machine may well outperform your hypothetical machine.  It probably outprices
it as well:  $350K for the above system.

Does anyone know if there exists a network, simulated or digital or
analog hardware, which will allow a non-selforganizing network of
multiple million neurons?  I am looking for a very fast way to achieve
image mapping capability, and so far it looks like I go with either
a heavily parallel multi-CPU system or a really good neural net.
