I'm kinda bad about keeping up on some of the latest HW. Although, I thought it was only recently that AMD had come up with a 6-core (HexaCore) CPU. So - I am shocked to hear of an 8 and a 12 core CPU. I used to be big on AMD. However, they weren't keeping up - and Intel came out with a Quad-Core 1st. And, it seemed that AMD was going to take longer to come out with one. So - I built my last workstation based upon the Intel QuadCore (I think it's a Q6600). However, my prior 2 workstations were both AMD CPU based which I built. I would just LOVE to build myself a new workstation - based upon a 2 CPU motherboard - with 2 HexaCores. I do 3D graphics - when I am not doing VFP (actually working on a possible 3D CG movie deal right now). And, I am also planning to have the main HD of my next system be a SSD type unit. That - and a serious Video card and lots of RAM should make the system SCREAM! I also saw your other posting - with the Dual CPU motherboard. But, I saw it was Server specific. I'm wondering if I can find a dual CPU based mo-bo on NewEgg that isn't SO pricey. L8r, -K- -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Leland F.

AMD has a new 8 core and 12 core Opteron cpu, and with a motherboard that supports multiple AMD 8 or 12 core Opterons, (eg dual or quad socketed motherboards), you can really build a server.
