The mention 150 Mhz, I believe it's a QED 5230, but I'm not sure.
They claim pentium-200 class performance.  Very nice form factor, $1000 
sounds like alot for pentium-200 class performance, and the relatively
small ram/disk.

Depends on scalable your code is (to make use of lots of relatively
slow cpu's), and how much your space is worth.
