"truly extreme" - i'm thinking of the price

I actually saw it working at Siggraph in Cinema4d. I think I peed a little. The thing was huge and ugly... but then again it was a prototype. I asked the guy how much, and after avoiding to answer for a while, he said, will start around $10k or so. All things considered, way back circa 1997 or so, we paid around 10k for Dual PIIIs at 450mhz, granted that was with those overpriced wildcat cards which I would never buy again. But we also had a monster 18gig scisi drives on those bad boys... and we maxed out the ram to 2gigs. hmmm.... are still maxing out the ram to 2gigs... that is the only thing that has not changed by 10x.

Actualy you can get the lower end opteron 840 for just $749 USD

[jacksc02]

is that dual core?

[DaForce]

As far as im aware.

[jacksc02]

you would need a LOT of ram to fill that sucka!

[DaForce]

32GB to be exact

[jacksc02]

at a cost of...............

[DaForce]

1 Million Dollars...well no not really.

Well if i paid $399 for 2gb that would make the total ram cost for that suckah $6384
Fairly reasonable
