I'm Back! with a 6-core

[Dirk Broer]

I decided to look for the current AMD Bulldozer prices, but found that all sources that previously sold them (at least on paper/on website) have removed the item. Couldn't get the needed Mobo anyway. So for now it's just upgrading my PC-farm (Still working with single-core AthlonXP+s....), replacing the AGP boards with PCIe boards and get me some nice GPUs. My 2nd hand GTX260 192 core does more than the 8 PC's currently employed for boinc together....

Found the little buggers: for a mere €1,086.99 a piece they trade owner (under the veil of [BOLD]Opteron 6174[/BOLD]). The Mobo, an Asus KGPE-D16, goes for €448.99. Supports up to 256GB Registered ECC or 64Gb Unbuffered ECC/non-ECC DDR3 memory at speeds of 800, 1066 and 1333MHz. Quad-Crossfire possible: four PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots.
Given unlimited money, two 6174s on this mobo give you 24 cores and together with 4 HD5970s and 256 Gb RAM you should be able to crunch your way to the #1 spot.
