Kaptain K - what a MONSTER RIG! Amazing stuff, I can't wait to see the output on the next big challenge...going to be leaving me in the dust!

Wow, awesome rig! Can't wait to see it in action!

I believe Win7 Pro and higher support dual CPUs. Anything above two requires Windows Server. I believe anything above 4 requires the Server Enterprise edition. In this case, even though there are 6 cores w/ hyperthreading which will appear as 12 CPUs in task manager, they count as one CPU for licensing purposes.

Thanks Slicker. Now to convince, "she, who breaks my stones over crunching" that I need to replace my rig.

Finally all components are here! Now for the big rig building to begin...

SWEET! Do I detect an all-nighter coming up in your near future? hehe

[kaptainkarl1]

I don't know about an all nighter might be an all weeker. I think it will take me a little longer than you guys as I am still a novice.

Hahaha... I'm no novice having built my first system around 1988. It was a 286 to replace the IBM "True Blue" I fried when I dropped a PCI slot cover screw on the MB while it was powered up. It can still take me many hours to build a system depending on how creative I need to be with the innards.......
