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...
