Well theres the lets-put-all-my-movies-on-hdd as well as lets-record-me-playing-videogames-at-35MB/s-for-a-few-hours

good point, but that wasnt outlined in the original specification so it wasnt taken into account in that quote.

Due to the subjective nature of the original requirements and given the significant budget, it seemed fair (and would be the only thing to make the system balanced)

In particular:

Quote:

I use my PC for intense gaming, multi-tasking, and media junk.

Quote:

i want a media center...

are highly subjective terms.

Agreed. It'd be fun to see, however.

Why? It's not gonna be anything special at all. Subpar I would even say.

Why would you say? The video subsystem is not very special, we have people who have that already, but with 128GB of RAM and those Opterons I would think it'd be a little impressive, probably moreso on PCMark.

1. You didnt say PCMark
2. I highly doubt PCMark is optimized for 16-way computing
3. If you notice, that's server memory, not mainstream memory.

1. I realized after thinking about your post that 3DMark wouldn't yeild anything spectacular, so I changed it.
2. Good point.
3. I did notice, would that take away from the glory of 128GB though?
