The AMD Bulldozer era has officially begun.
I will upgrade my BOINC cruncher in December after a few special checks hopefully come in. ;)
If anyone seeks advice with building their own mega-cpu-cruncher, feel free PM me for free help.:-c

Interesting! I'm looking to build a mega cpu cruncher as well for my WCG badges. I wonder whats the most cores per $$? Energy usage is also a factor due to high electricity costs.

To all of you, today is the first day that you can build a 32 core system using just 2 cpu sockets. The full system will cost you at least $1500 to build, but none of the parts listed below are expected to drop in price over the next six months. I call this "EBAY SAFE". In other words, you could sell it six months from now on Ebay for about 60% or more of what you paid.
The ASUS KGPE-D16 Dual Socket G34 motherboard will support 2x double slot video cards and I have run PrimeGrid with them for months now.
Shopping List For The core parts you will need:
ASUS KGPE-D16 Dual Socket G34 motherboard
At least 2 of these kits per CPU purchased: 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced Case
Here is the motherboard with memory installed, I decided to put memory in first so that I could keep it from flexing in the case.

Maybe, send me an ATI and I'll figure it out. :confused:
The good news is that NVIDIA chips even work in this AMD board! :-bd
You should see the difference in memory activity between PrimeGrid and Yafu. Yafu really wakes up those 16 memory chips!

Yep, with Windows XP or later OS. My 3 quads are setup that way.

So can I run my 2 ati 5570's and nvidia 8400 together on ASUS P8z68-v pro mobo? Win 7 x64
I know the 8400gs won't put too much of a dent, but I figure it could finish some mini-collatz before the deadline.
