I wonder if a Cray or Siclicon Graphics computer could handle it??? I do believe those are the most powerful computers available.

Crays and Silicon Graphics are pretty much one and the same these days.

Our (work) NEC SX-6 system is very quick*, but I reckon ZoomBrowser would still bring it down to a crawl. ;)

Cheers
