taken a while to get stable but all seems happy at the moment and only a cool 3k cheaper than the real equivalent.

i7 980 3.4g 6 cores / 12 threads
osx 10.6.8
12g ram a few tb of hdd (soon to be 24g)

soon to be lionised (after a backup or two)

gamers wouldn't go on the rig much i suppose but for what i do it is by far faster than the other options in the same $ range.

and from what i have seen xp in vmware is quicker in fusion than the pc version, which surprised me.

hey Inc,, so whats the tech differences between the 980's and 2600,,

and are they on the same socket?

hey Inc,, so whats the tech differences between the 980's and 2600,,

no

they are a 1366 socket 6 core or 8 core for the extreme version

more like a xeon chip, ddr3, usb 3, sata 3 etc etc

had a 2600k on a z68 board up beside it and it does what i need a unit to do much more quickly.

put a wd black 1tb in as boot drive but the seagate 7200.12 i have as the data drive is quicker in use.

will be getting an ocz 256g vertex 3 when i get some more dosh.

only got a 9400gtx in it for the moment as i had trouble getting sound and video stable using the bigger cards i had.

runs my music video and photo/graphics stuff very nicely and compiles code in no time flat, for now.

and it runs osx :p
