I would like to buy a board and any extra accessories it takes to give it all the functionality of my current PC which is like any other 2 year old PC. My current pc has an ATI HD4650 video card, not sure what the on board video of a parallela board is like but if someone could give me an idea that would be great. The board would need to be able to run Ubuntu have a mouse, keyboard, display and webcam attached. I would like to connect my speakers via a 1/8 inch cable so I would need to know what to get to do that too. Basically I would like to have a 90 gflop pc using a Parallela board I can expand with more boards in the future so I can use it for my computer vision projects and get mind blowing coputing power.. I would like to get this as soon as possible so any advice on that would be great e.g. do I need to donate asap etc..I would also like to know how much the Parallela 64 will cost. Thanks in advance for any help on this.
Edit. I just saw here:

This:
Pledge $199 or more
903 backers Limited (64633 left of 65536)
64-CORE: You get everything in the SUPPORTER reward and a 64-core Epiphany-IV based Parallella board (2 ARM cores and 64 Epiphany cores) if we reach our stretch goal of $3M. If we don't reach our stretch goal but meet our minimum funding goal, you will receive a pair of Epiphany III boards (2 ARM cores and 16 Epiphany cores). Both boards come loaded with the development software needed to create your own innovative projects. (International order should add $20 to the pledge amount).
I would like to be 100% that I could get the 64 core board though be cause I assume the 16 core would be 1/4 the computing power. From the above link I think, and correct me if I am wrong, the 16 cores would be $99 and the 64 core would be $199 (a better deal). I'm so into super fast computing I would like to start building cheap Paralella based PC's for my customers so I can fund me obtaining alot of boards to build my own supercomputer. That being my end goal.
