Hey Y'all !

I just finished building my new working rig ...

[Admiral]

Holy #$@!, what you got there, a quad opteron rig ?
I only get half of that on my system.

[spadnos]

Half - you're lucky.

My main work machine gets about 875/839 MB/s.

Only major bugger for now is that using the /PAE option for starting WinXP, seems to render my parallel port dongle for Digital Fusion useless, so that I cannot benefit from that awesome memory performance, but will have to stick to those lousy 4GB/sec throughput, until it got sorted out.
