What Are The Disadvantage For A Supercomputer?
Well that depends on your usage of the term supercomputer, generally speaking it means a computer (or multiple linked computers) intended on computing massive amounts of data for projects like mapping the human genome and other science stuff of that scale. I am assuming you mean a very fast computer with the latest hardware though. Advantages: Speed, amount of things that can run at once without it slowing down, better graphics capabilities for gaming and graphics designing, and smoother performance. Disadvantages: Power usage, heat, cost and in the case of overclocked computers heat that leads to damage to the components which in turn will raise the cost through replacement parts. In the case of 64 bit processors, (which can provide better processing capabilities) there can be the downside of compatibility issues for some software.
