Some specs:

• Support four or eight AMD Opteron™
800 series processors

• (32) DDR DIMM sockets


Power Supply
• 900W 2+1 for (4-way); 1350W 3+1 for (8-way)

Love to see some benches for this one.

That's just wrong.

Yep, you'd need one of those 6 way monitors just to view the task manager

I didn't see any prices listed - not that I could afford one...

Only four lousy proccesors? Child's play. :P

Actually it was boxx's email that got me looking for an 8-way DC Opti.

[studioDIM]

I can't quite understand if the 8-way system is out or not.

THe picture and specs speak of 4 supported by the mobo, and also of
" Processor Compatibility
• Support four or eight AMD Opteron™
800 series processors"

How does it fit 8 in four sockets?

That is, is it able to support 4 X2, or 8X2?

I'm a bit confused...

But would love a couple anyways :P

[dennis]

4 x2 = 8

Not only blistering speed but think of the money you can save by dumping your 2KW electric heater.

The mother board has four sockets plus there is a risser board that has another four. Check out the picture link towards the bottom of the page.

8 x 2 =16

Now imagine ten of these in DR mode 160 buckets... :P

Don't know if you've seen this already
http://www.xicomputer.com/products/C...opmp&configid=
This 8 CPU system is out and they list pricing.
You can get 16 cores from this site for the price you would pay for 8 at Boxx.

[RErender]

Just priced one out that would fit my needs, only $64,000 +/- , now where'd I put my wallet?

[BBullo]

The crazy thing is you know this machine wil depreciate faster than a new Porche.

Just think - PPT could become a viable solution for animations.
