Well, InSanCen got his Quad today. X4 620. It overclocks rather well too ;-P 4GB of Corasir 1066 on a GA-M57SLI-S4 makes it fairly tasty for what is a relativly old rig. It's all housed in my beloved STC-T01 (hooooge case) and H20'd. Sad thing is the cores are already maxed out. *sigh* Running Linux of course (Win7 RC has now finished, and I am not shelling out what they are asking for it, so back to *nix only), Ubuntu, Gentoo and anything else that grabs my fancy (CentOS at the moment).
On a "not mine, but hell, I have to" note, i am speccing out a Client's new Renderfarm. 960 (Nine Hundred and Sixty), 12 core (Yes, twelve) processors. 4P config, sitting in 64U racks. I near shat myself when I got a curious email about them. AMD has some tasty new server technology about to drop for anyone interested in truly Big Rig's. I am wondering if in the near future (Comission from that build is going to be tasty), if I can justify getting myself a 2P config, just for ****s and giggles. As mentioned, my cores are maxed out (3D rendering), and I need more power. 24 cores with 20MB cache (12 per socket, 10 Usable) should tick those boxes rather emphatically. Not released yet, but sources have it the numbers are very favourable. These sources are always right too :-).
