My new folding rig will own:
ecs a790gxm-ad3
cheap ahtlon ii hopefully unlocked
gamexstream 1010w x2
160GB seagate 7200.9
2GB ddr3
el cheapo case
now here is where it gets interesting...
The 18 available pci express rails will be split into ten x1 slots. Each slot will contain a g92 based card that i intend to buy over a fairly long period of time. The pci slots will each eventually contain a 9500 gt.
Twelve GPUs in all, assuming all cards are single gpu, thriteen if the IGP counts.
I believe that is a record for a standard desktop board.
Go with the Phenom II 555 or the new 560, you can unlock it to a quad core on some mobo's.
And, The ECS a790GX doesn't have diddle squat in terms of "18" PCIE ports :
After researching, I have came up with super duper overkill, AMD style:
Quad AMD Opteron 6136(higher stock clock) OC'd to 3.8 - 4.2Ghz 3gbs side cache ( like you can find on old Power macs, the stick of 128k of ram by the cpu)
32Gb DDR3 Mushkin Enhanced2500 OC'd(if its possible to go any faster
) to 3200-3900mhz
quad - hex ASUS ARES HD 5870x2 Eyefinity 6 Edition 4gb @ PCIE 3.0 16x @ CrossfireX
Dual (top and bottom) 1500W Antec Quattro's
Mobo that can handle this with Crossfire AMD 890FX Northbridges
2x 8TB Crucial PCIE 16x SSD w/ 4gb DDR3 4200mhz Oc'd(if thats possible XD) Cache, rendering up to 3.5gbs, in Raid 0
Coolmaster Haf Full Tower Case w/ Red LED's all around.
And to finish it off:
Infinite 10gb/s Internet Service
Steam Pre Installed
CA Internet Suite 2010
Windows XP Pro SP3 (sorry, I just like it too much, even trying windows 7 Pro, I can't wait to see xp again
)
Acer 1600P 17"-22" LCD Monitor
EDIT: MOBO EXSISTS!!!! :O:O:O
