Hi,

It could one take 3-4 months to find a suitable
machine and suitable browser, so that MIMD is
utilized, especially if you have:

 > A Sputnik Commodore C64 with 8088
 > from the basement of your mother

But maybe somebody figures out it also runs on
SIMD. Its not in my focus to test the SIMD
platform, I do not intend to go back in time

to 2008, and a Tesla S1070:

Tesla S1070 was an professional graphics card by NVIDIA
Its price at launch was 7999 US Dollars.
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/tesla-s1070.c1540

Also not in 2026, a RTX 5090:

NVIDIA® RTX™ 5090 most powerful GeForce GPU ever made
With Boost Clock Speed its at 3779 USD
https://marketplace.nvidia.com/en-us/consumer/graphics-cards/?locale=en-us&page=1&limit=15&gpu=RTX+5090&has_offer=is_bestselling

The title of the experiment is really Budget Laptop.
What is a litte unspoken in the title, that the Laptop
is an AI Laptop. But you see it in the description:

 > 11.4 Giga Lips with a Budget Laptop
 > At the end of 2025 we acquired a couple of AI Laptops
 > https://github.com/Jean-Luc-Picard-2021/gigabudget

These AI Laptops are quite affordable ,
500 USD to 1000 USD.

Bye
