a postage-stamp sized chunk of silicon is a lot. Remember that the size of your processor is mostly for the connections. The actual silicon part is about the size of a pinkie-nail.
This will mean an extremely high price.
Also, will software have to be specially coded to take advantage of the power offered?

Wow, where to start...
I like this map. I like it a lot. In some places it's downright beautiful, and there's a real flare of design.
That said, in some places it's ugly as hell.
I have never been so split over a map before. There are some excellent features such as the rotating death-ray and numerous tactical locations; and yet there are some things which seem insanely poor in comparison. Truly this map has one of the worst elevators I've ever seen in a game, and the giant water tower? Most of the upward faces aren't drawn on the model, so to allow the players access is a very odd decision.
A lot of the rubble casts unconvincing shadows, the texture scale is very high around the terrain, there are HUNDREDS of clipping issues (use simple geometry player-clips over complex terrain to stop people getting stuck on things,) most of the indoor locations are very blocky and finally a map with such expansive views desperately needs a 3D skybox.
I know I'm sounding very, very negative - but it's only because I know you're capable of making this so much better. I hope you update this.
P.S - Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the church from The Citizen?

they were scared away because half the members here don't seem to have regular female contact and thus spazzed out in the traditional "OMG R U REAL GRL" sense.

You're saying The Holy Crusades, World Wars 1 and 2 and now the Middle Eastern conflict were just a few people who didn't respect god's rules?
Hitler believed god was on his side. You support genocide, Striker?
Ugh you people are so obtuse. You all argue that Christianity is FACT because of this story book called the bible, yet Christians themselves can't even agree on its meaning. Look at Catholics and Protestants. Look at Hitler. You're obviously going to say his interpretation of the Bible was wrong. How do you know? What proof do you have? Look at that "church" who protest at soldier's funerals saying AIDs and 9/11 weren't harsh enough. They think they're following the Bible.
I find it utterly amazing that you can hide from fact so effectively in an age where science has come so far.
When we make first contact with an alien race and they teach us about their beliefs which are COMPLETELY different to every major religion on Earth, are you going to claim that your god put a mask on for them?

Fuck off, Striker. People have been killing in the name of the Christian god for a lot longer than for Allah. And now we know that not only are you ignorant about faith, but also that you're a homophobe.

edit:
regarding your shoutbox post.
I'm not saying you suck at drawing. I'm saying these icons look like they were made in MSPaint.
If you have Fireworks, you have photoshop, right? Use that instead.
Wonderful!
So I have a problem with stupid people?
Yes. Did I not make that clear?
That's because rational understanding isn't about belief.
And I don't have a problem with belief.
I have a problem with organised religion. That people believe in outdated fairytales. It's sickening.

Radeon own the mid-range at the moment if you don't want to splash out on a supercard.
I just got a HD 4870 with 1gb of DDR5 memory for around ?90.
Plays everything I've thrown at it (including Dragon Rising, Crysis and Fallout 3) on max and runs very quietly. Highly recommended.
Excellent standard you've set yourself.
It's great that you beat this.
