I wish I had it for myself... Too bad it's at work.
(By the way, I forgot to mention... Max Level: 250/250, and not in
marginal portions of the image, rather on half of it. That's what happens
when you simulate multiple reflections...)

Just to give me an idea about the speed of this monster, how long would it take
to render skyvase on it? Realtime? ;)

My Official Skybench:
$ pvmpov -d -f -i/usr/local/lib/povray3/povscn/level2/skyvase.pov \
-w640 -h480 +a0.3 -q9
completes in approximately 14 seconds.
And I'm leaving it tomorrow... <sigh> <sigh> <sob>

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to render an animation on the world
largest Linux cluster. Up to 432 Pentium class machines were working on
my POV-Ray scenes. That was fun!

A friend of mine once rendered one of my images for printing on a 600DPI
color laser full-sized A4 sheet. I don't remember the resolution (can
anyone calculate it?) but it sure was HUGE!
It took only a couple of hours to render on his Pentium II... (5 hours in
my 486 66MHz at 640x480). Uh!

It should be about 4960 x 7015

Aha, so you were there. Has the speed record and the entry in the Top 500
Supercomputer list been confirmed?

Although you could render at 600 PPI (pixels per inch) for printing to a 600 DPI
(dots per inch) printer, you don't need to render more than 300 PPI. If
anything, the 300 PPI image will look better that the 600 PPI image when printed
to a 600 DPI color device. Plus the 300 PPI image will not take nearly as much
time to render! : )
Try rendering at 2475 x 3507 and compare the printed output to the 4960 x 7015
image.
By the way - the largest image I have ever rendered was 7200x7200 (150 megs) for
a fine art print on canvas. The final IRIS print was 36 x 36 inches. I only
used 200 pixels per inch. It looked great with no artifacting.

As far as I know: not yet.
