even though we do good service here, the problem is due to lack of time, and nature of forum, we give half info. just by adding horsepower you dont get advantage unless you dont know how to put the horsepower to work. and for all those people who are jumping to buy these new specs, pls remember that there are many issues that are not discussed. do u know how to monitor proccy utilization? do u know ANYTHING about heating and that these PCs if not assembled properly or even otherwise touch 75 degress while on high loads. do u have ACs on or do u have coolant based system, water or otherwise?
do your research before jumping. believe me, most traders here can do with this kind of a spec
