Thanks, Swami.
As soon as I buy a new box, I'll post more frequently.
I am undecided up to now, which box should I get?
Better quad than Q6600; a 8x or 2xquad; or 16x.
Best,
16x if you can afford. That one is obviously better, no?
I am not sure.
Some cons:
Still very few people use 16x.
If I need technical help, I'll probably not get here in Antalya.
The number of engines that supports 16x are not many.
Some supports up to 4 cores, some up to 8.
I havent see an 16x on comp stores.
That means I should build one for myself.
This could cause compatibility problems.
Some pros:
I may organize 2 - 8 simultaneous tests.
The speed will sure make me happy.
What is the price range for 8x and 16x?
Should I buy two 8x or 4 quads instead of one 16x?
Dont think that Xeons or Crays are an option?
Best,
