| Its memory is equal to the combined memories of nearly 20,000 personal computers, and its storage system has a capacity of 233 terabytes, the equivalent of the information in 29 million books. |
This never really tells how much memory it actually has. My machine has a gig of memory, but I suppose the average would have 256 to 512, thats what comes standard now days. So I guess we are talking about he hundreds of Gigabytes of ram. That is astonishing! To make it even more phenomenal, this is only the fourth largest computer in the world! That means three others are bigger and badder than this one. What I wouldn't give to have one of these taking up a floor in my house!

Here are the Top 500 supercomputers in the world (released in june 2005): https://www.top500.org/lists/plists.php?Y=2005&M=06
It looks like IBM has the supremacy in computers. Also I noticed the US research is way ahead of Europe and even Asia. Europeans have to work harder and invest more in research or they'll be in trouble.
