no idea why you would do that unless you are going for a render farm maybe.
kick ass dedicated game server springs to mind, we will be buying some later this year :)
to many eggs in one basket if you ask me. What kind of amps would that pull?
does anyone know what the rrp will be for this board?
and what it whould cost to put a base system together. cpus ram psu hdd box ect.
we guestimated about 4k for a rack server build
that's cheap when you compare it to apples top end mac pro, this thing whould have it for breakfast dinner and tea and be cheaper :)Quote:

yes but modern day macs are standard pc's with a 200% price hike to install linux on them and pretend they run CS4 better than windows can.
You do know AMD have 8 / 12 Core CPUs starting US$266 / US$800 each plus the motherboard and (presumably) lots of ram.
Xeon starts much higher although clock speed is also higher.
the opteron 6164HE does look mightly tasty. would make a very fast workstation 24 cores in 200w :whip:
12 cores @ 1.7GHz, on a 45nm process, within a 65W TDP?!?!?!
So where's the consumer 45w hexacore then? ;)
For Nehalem EX based servers? Try more like £15K for one with CPU's, RAM etc.Quote:
