You think Mr. Gates knows about F@H? Someone should tell him... if they can get him hooked on it (preferably folding for team 93 ) he could set up a hell of a farm with a few hundred million $$...
mmonnin had this to say I havent really seen an 8 way board yet, I havent been looking for one either.
Would be awesome tho. Cept 8 way Opterons are like several k each plus an 8 way board and registered mem.
yes the 8 way board concept is still a bit premature. I'm thinking in lines of heat dissepation/efficiency and right now I still think the way to go might be with the mobile processors ...just wondering if a little more up front with save a little in the end.
certainly worth the consideration don't you think?
somehow I think that when the 8-way server boards hit they wont be bloated with all of the bells & whistles that we see on the 2-way boards aimed at workstations/gamers ...and thus may make the most efficient farms.
the operton 840 pricing is quite a deterent I agree.
