It's at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. It's considered to be the world's fastest computer. It has a cost of $104 million. It's called "Jaguar."

Think it'd have enough processing power to run the upcoming "Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" game?

I'd put down good money that it couldn't run DF2.
Let's make a list of things the Jaguar could do:
- Find the corner in a circular room.
- End world hunger.
- Achieve world peace.
- Make BC intelligent.
- Take away Newborn's accent.
- Make Hogg stop changing names.
- Hack Chuck Norris.
- Decipher why Pause wants to live in Michigan.

Keep on deciphering; we'll never know. Only Donald Trump will find out for us.
