Ok guys, I am quickly getting close to my computer showcase, but first I wanted to communicate problems that anyone with a desire to build a similar computer will also have. There are certain programs that won’t run with more than 16 cores such as FRAPS and the power usage for my setup is more than a standard household circuit can provide. I knew the build was going to have issues, mine always do…but I was unaware of these issues that surfaced. Incidentially I didn’t mention one other issue. I originally bought W7 Home Premium when W7 was released, well Home Premium doesn’t support two physical processors! WHAT!?!?!? I had to get my hands on W7 Professional which supports dual processors. Sheesh! What next! Enjoy!
