Damn, and I was already about to hit the "reply" button to answer that 
perfectly obvious question :-)

Well, so what might /others/ do with such fast computers...

Brag about them?
Hope for games to support them at last?

Can't think of much else.

Forget about that: Computer games are like POV-Ray scenes - they 
invariably grow with the available computing power, to bog it down again 
to exactly that speed where it's /barely/ acceptable...

There's always stuff to improve you know. If they'd find nothing else, 
they'd go for realtime subsurface scattering and crash-test-quality 
physics simulation...
