i would love this machine 8 CPU Opteron Board.
It features 8 CPU's on a Board and is 64-bit. Can use up to 128GB's Ram. This machine looks like a good candidate for video editing and rendering.
It's just drool worthy

Imagine OS X running on this Beast.
Such a shame that the XServe Cluster is limited to 2 CPU's. Tsk tsk tsk. You would think apple could do better for performance computing
It looks like the cell processor... implemented!
Interesting. Pitty you can't run x2's in there...or can you?
It's a render farm without the farm...

I'm willing to bet that that is what the configuration is for. I don't see 8 ZIF's total, so I image that that is a Dual-Core board. I wonder what else it could do besides rendering video. I just image renting out the Processor time out for # calculations. I bet it would pay for itself. I wonder if it would find the next prime number easily.
That board is COMPLETE AND UTTER CRAP. My company sold 8 of those to a big customer of ours. At no time has more than 6 of them been operational, and not a single one of the technicians at the company is able to make them work. We have to load them up with the customer's hardware, send them to iWill and then *maybe* a month later they will send a machine back with beta BIOS on it that doesn't work and has spelling errors.
You can't possibly skip this product fast enough. Buy Tyan's 4881 8way box instead.
It has a second board beneath the first one with 4 more sockets and 16 more ram slots. They connect via a hypertransport backplane.
