I predict a Floridian under the age of 17 will answer this question . . .

As I recall, the Earth Simulator Center in Japan is the most powerful...somewhere along the lines of 40,000 gigaflops. Your average system nowadays has a peak performance of roughly 5 GFLOPS, while only 1 GFLOPS is actually utilized at a time.
Oh, and Lionel was right. :D
