At a time when many are consolidating their computing power into fewer
processors, Google bucks the trend.  (BTW, Google is the best search engine
out there IMHO)  There's no doubt that more computers requires more work.
Does having multiple computers give better performance, higher up-time and
easier scalability than one or two large, fast systems?  Would cheaper
e3000's make this an attractive solution or are there limitations built into
MPE/iX that prevent its use in this kind of architecture?
