Whats the fastest computer on the market?

Question

I don't mind if it has to be custom built.

Answer 1

A Mac Pro. Intel Core 2 Duo and up to 16 terabytes of Drives or more, 1 GB + of RAM, It's VERY FAST

Answer 2

Fast at what?

The Mac Pro answer isn't quite correct; it depends on what you are doing. If one dual-boots Vista on a Mac Pro, game performance will not be as good as high-end gaming machines, as the Mac Pros graphic card selection is limited -- you can't put a top-of-the-line, gaming-oriented GPU in a Mac Pro.

Mac Pros are good for transcoding media files and editing video, but so is a PC with a quad core extreme and 8+ gigs of RAM running 64 bit Vista.

If one really wants to go crazy with a gaming machine, one can easilly spend $10,000.

Have a look at Falcon Northwest to see what they could build for you (if you have huge money to burn):
