    Let's play a game - try to guess (to the best of your ability), the processing/computing power of the systems in the following picture. Also, what do you figure is the most and least powerful that they could possibly be (within reason of course)....

    Well, in CPU clock speed, it could be full of p4's, at 3.2Ghz.
    = about 86Ghz.

    or it could be of 386's, making 10422Mhz or 10 Ghz.

    That is, presuming that they are x86 based ;)

    Of course, thats if they are all identicle :)

    180Gflps peak on varying PC's at least 1.3Ghz or higher.

    I don't seem to remember 486s having quite that many expansion slots... furthermore the cases aren't that yellow, they look relatively new...

    Who said it was taken recently? :p and also, they might be "reconditioned" systems"

    Well here's an added clue... the picture was taken this week. Also, who would recondition a system with 486s? The case would be worth more than the rest of it... lol..

    They're all Athlon 64 systems

    Is auction house, Empty cases, no dirves, no floppies.
    With exception of PC on desk in back left of picture, which is old P II 200 MHZ
    Computing power = just barely enough to keep track of auction sales.
