Does not answer my questions. Second try, hopefully more clearly:

Can I get the same GPU for a PC and will the COMPILER for the GPU run on a PC?

Since the GPU does the work so much faster than an X86 processor,
I asking if I can wrap a PC around it instead of (if you pardon the
expression) a toy?

I'm not looking for cheap. I am looking for something that will work, be
easily supported and easily serviced.
