With a quad or 8-way opteron it can beat _anybody_. Note "can beat" not "will beat". I don't try to make predictions. But CCT6 showed that it is very dangerous. You can look at the 4-way opteron log files. They are on my ftp machine... They will also refute vincent's "you copied shredder's book for CCT6" by the way...
