hardware is intermixed with software to give an overall performance, it always
will be,

its like in professional baseball,
should all batters have to use the same weight bat?
of course not, some are so strong they can use the heavy bats and still swing
them the same speed

if you can program for 32 processors, then by god do it, and succeed.
DIEP at 256 processors and LOST if you remember,
you still have to be GOOD, just cause you got the hardware doesn't mean you got
the brains,

and its absolutely rediculous to think otherwise.
