You mean:"How Apple Helped Build the World's Fastest Super Computer"They're talking about the PowerPC chips originally developed by Apple and Motorola; IBM was brought into the consortium to get access to some look ahead logic which IBM held patents on. They proved to be such bastards to deal with that ultimately Apple ditched them for Intel.Hard to argue with the market success that garnered but it does make me sad that we Mac users had to downgrade to gain acceptance.
