The ultimate AMD rig...

[FragTek]

I was just dickin' around on Neweggs site and lookin' at server platforms. Stumbled across a sweet Tyan dual 940 mobo that features the nf4 pro chipset and dual pci-e slots for SLI. It also has an integrated SCSI adapter which would be 1337 for benching and load times!

That mobo + a pair of DC Opty 280's + 2 x 7800GTX + 15k SCSI HD's and omfg spooooooooooge.

That rig would totally anhilate (sp?). You could fold 3 F@H cores 100% and still be able to rock your favorite games lag free, w00t w00t! If only I had the money

annihilate

Agreed Fraggles, if the money were available, it would be an extremely grunty rig choice.

That mobo + a pair of DC Opty 280's + 2 x 7800GTX + 15k SCSI HD's and omfg spooooooooooge.

:worship: :worship: :yumyum: I think my accountant (I dunno if I could legitimately claim that for my income tax refund)would freak as well as the Missus

Yes, that would be tight.

And ya, think of my name when spelling annihilate
