So, who wants to port RISC OS to this? 
http://www.baserock.com/
(32 cores of ARMv7-A [ie, Cortex-A9 grade], 8 individual systems, with up to 5Gbps between them and 24Gbps out the back.) |

How much does it cost? Quite a bit. No more than, say, 8 or 9 ARMinis. |

Problem is Risc OS would only use one core and therefore you'd be paying a massive amount for nowt. |

5 grand then. Will be interesting to see some benchmarks. |
