  • Dual Opteron 285's with Dual containers :D
  • TYAN S2895 SLI with VCore mod
  • Corsair TWINX1024RE PC3200 2-3-2-6
  • Dual MSI 7900GTX 172W pelts
  • PCPower & Cooling 1K
  • i-Ram

That should do some damage in 06 & PC Mark ;)

Ok who stole maxi's login info??

Seriously though, that'll be a shoe in for 10k in pcmark05 if your gonna do it maxi. *best redneck voice* "get'er done!"
 
I was very close to doing this but it looks like Conroe might be closer than we thought. From the PI number's it's putting up I think we'll need some totally new or re-written benchmarks to test with.
 
I don't think Conroe is too close for the rest of us unfortunately. Late Q3/early Q4 is when its slated for. ESes have been floating around as early as January (to my knowledge, maybe even earlier) but that doesn't mean they'll hit retail right away.

Besides, if you feel like trashing PCMark, nearly nothing would be able to touch that for a while.

Pi isn't everything...nor does it translate into real world performance.
 
I'd take the best Conroe rig over that system. Especially for PI times. It is really throwing AMD for a loop because it is beating them at their own game.

I don't think 4 CPUs is going to help much at all. Most tests are only 2 threads, so the other 2 CPUs will just sit idle.

Heck, you could take the #1 spot with another i-RAM and some GTXs.

What? I thought SPi had always ran better on intel machines..

Right, well FM doesn't allow i-RAM results anyway. Their opinion is that it is not a legit storage device :rolleyes:
 
WTF, oh well, at least I get to load windows nice and zippy now. Seriously can't see what the big deal is, they're no longer very expensive either. Might as well ban SLI/CF for not being legit graphics adapters. :rolleyes:
 
They sell it as a conroller card :rolleyes: whats up with that? :shrug:

Im really debating getting a couple (Raid0) for the new rig (rather then HD's :D )
