Hi Logan,

I must admit I have never heard of a Duron 7000 @ 10,000 Mhz :) (are you 
referring to some sort of network consisting of AMD's Duron 
microprocessors?)
The current production CMOS technologies for manufacturing single 
processors do not yet achieve these  clock speeds  as yet - current .13 
micron and .16 micron CMOS technologies achieve clock speeds of 
between 1 and 5 GHz.  

However,effective MIPS equivalent to speeds like that can be "achieved" 
with multiple/parallel/distributed procs either in hardware or software 
mode. A  good distributed kernel patch for linux that creates a distributed 
node from any hardware you can get your hands on, is called Mosix and is 
free to download.

For links to super-computing I reffer you to  http://computer.org/parascope/ 
, 
part of the IEEE site.

Have fun,

Yiannis.
