It's not that useful for regular people though.

I guess, but it renders 3DS Max scenes like a mofo from my room...dang it's fast, you'd need a nother computer to model though...or maybe not, I dunno...if you felt like it (or if the mobo has AGP Pro or not...I didn't look to see).

I want one!! (or maybe 4 or 8!) I'm implementing this face recognition system (viola and jones) for a final project, and I need to compress about 24 days of computation into about 2. Presentation day is in 1.5 weeks!
well, I guess I don't really need one. The plan is to take over a 40 computer lab for a couple nights, hehe.

I'm building a single Opteron 1.8ghz system for a friend, it's going to be MAD

I don't think the quad systems have AGP.
There's not a lot of mobo options. Hmm... taking a look at the prices, going dual 1.4 maybe a better workstation than single 1.8.

To truly see what these beast can do you have to wait for the 64bit OS's.
MSI makes a nice dual 940 board with agp for under $220.
Pair that with two 1.4 opterons and you have the start of a pretty good workstation.

The power, the raw UNBRIDLED POWER... MUAHA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAaa... eh? oh, excuse me.
Right now I have a dual MP system, I'm considering an upgrade from dual 1.2's to dual 2800's plus a jump in video cards. Since most of my work is with video games I don't need huge rendering power.
The POWER, it calls to me, so tempting, by the looks of this madness, this sheer sweet rendering god of a computer, I may just have to skip the upgrade on my main system and get this as a render box...
Mmmmm... quad...

These chips are seriously pricey though...
As it stands today, the top of the range AMD chip at PCWorld.co.uk goes for the equivilant of around $1,000 per unit
...Well, I can dream anyway
