I definitely appreciate your input, but I think you may assume too much! Just because AT is a mostly gaming / overclocking place doesn't mean the folks here only know about that. I've built high end workstations, but admittedly never a 16 core "workhorse" as you call it :) Still, I wouldn't call such a machine slow by any means! Especially when it would undoubtedly wipe the floor with any desktop in the office when faced with encoding 1080p H.264 using x264!

Hey everyone,

I wonder if its x16 slot works with a 9800GX2 ;) ?

Anyway.. it's silly how many cores you can shove in one board these days. Imagine 4x8 core processors when they come out. Wow.

:p

Personally id wait to see what neha rolls along with b4 you start busting budget. I gaurentee neha will have a 4 socket slot. And a octocore option with hyper threading.

(8 x 4) x 2 work threads. :eek:

*yummy?*
