If you're operating a "cluster" of, say, 2,048 fast PowerPCs:
1) you're NOT going to be buying 2,048 Macs, rather, you're going to be

Actually, if you are a college or university, you ARE, Virginia Tech
did <http://www.tcf.vt.edu/systemX.html> and at least two other
colleges are that I've heard of.
(1100 dual processor X-serves = 2200 PPC processors and over 12
teraflops of processing speed).
Not that any of this has anything to do with the desktop market.
