Sounds like a "Mine is bigger than yours" thread!
I'm confident enough that I don't need to post the "size" of my system.

Thoran, what kinda work do you do? Those Dual Xeons must be nice. I was thinking about getting a Dual Xeon setup for home, but then decided there isn't really any point since thye cost so much and I don't actually need it.

I come from Holland and we call it "inkoopsprijs". You know, the price the store pays for it and then add their profits on top of that price, so for me it was dirt cheap. Otherwise I could never afford this baby, im a student you know.....

The Dual processor boxes are for vision systems... processing really large amounts of image data as quickly as possible. All these systems end up having DSP or FPGA based front ends... because even dual processor boxes are pitifully slow for the data rates (many hundreds of megabytes per second), so I use dedicated hardware to cut the bandwith required to a point where a high end PC (or multiple pc's) can cope. The Xeon boxes are nice but right now the top shelf stuff (raw performance wise) in the Windows world is Opteron. The benchmarks I've seen only give the Xeon's an advantage when the code is highly Intel-Optimized... and since I'm writing the code, I can optimize it for whichever platform I'm developing to... and that means NUMA Opteron. |

Zuvio, how much did that cost you?? Fancy sending me one if I post you the money?
Thoran-sounds like a nice job, that's just what I would like! Yep Opteron's are very nice too, although a pair of 3.6ghz Xeons are pretty hard to beat!
