Whoa, think SMP with multiple PCI (or faster) busses to handle jobs such
as radar data collection, processing and display on multiple varied
operator terminals. Last year I was working on an upgrade to a
spacetracking radar that generated four concurrent 40MBytes/sec data
streams for processing. Very soon RTL will be asked to step up to this
size task.
