Now here's a computer that can probably raytrace in real
time!

WOW! 64 racks of 1024 dualcore CPUs!
To bad POV-Ray can't realy benefit from it without some patch or helper app. We need a
multi 
processor renderer.

Try Tachyon.

Unfortunately real time raytracing also requires very fast low latency networks.

I don't need a multi processor renderer. I'll just run a render farm and do 
some really cool isosurface/radiosity/media/photons animations, heh!
