Nar, it's a rip-off! 504 pairs...let's say 1000 individual flops for $1000 ($1 per flop) compared to 1,026,000,000,000,000 individual flops for $100,000,000 ($0.0000000000000009746588693957 per flop). Though, them pretty flowers make it a very tempting deal

Question: "Does size matter?"

Answer: It depends on who you ask. I say no... but, as always, my girlfiriend does not agree...

Beyond a few cores and 4GB or 8BG of Ram, you need to outsource rendering... Unless, you are a 'house'.
