I know you said money is no object, but how much do you *really* want to spend? The system I recommended would be very fast, but have a pretty bad price/performance ratio.

Or what about that new Opteron boadr with AGP 8x 😀

EDIT:

I was thinking...since we are coming on the verge of all this new technology why not wait till AMD64? Then you can buy all that nice new technology that is bound to be expensive anyway

Solid State Drives!

Get an Alienware of Falcon northwest rig if money is no object.


Sheesh!
