The RAM is not the point - read the specs of that machine.  You can carve 
that E10k up into partitioned computing environments.  As someone else 
pointed out, folding would be a nice app to run on it - however from my 
personal experience folding is much better on the SGI platform (especially 
an R10k series Octane - YUM!).

This machine is intended for ->real<- work.  Pr0n and UT2k3 can be had 
through your everday i386 clone.

(And yes I know you were being sarcastic) :-)
