I needed 2 servers, so I did one of each.The buy off the shelf system was an i7 975 3.33 ghz, 24 GB RAM, 1.7G 216 cuda core nvidia graphics, windows 7 ultra. I bought it from HP with some good discounts and got the price down to 2100 delivered, which at the time the proc had a street price of 1000 bucks alone. Forget the 24G of ram thats 12 banks of 4 GB and today 2GB ram is about all you can find on the street bigger configs are getting taken by companies like HP depleating the store supplies.The second system I built had a more modest 8GB ram, asus motherboard, just enough to get by on VGA card until the newest cards from nvidia come out, and most importantly used this processor along with a decent power supply built for sli x4 systems. Cost was around 700, but will have a 200 hit when the new graphics card comes out for 900 with expected exceptional performance.The ability ofkeywordcorei7 Steppingkeywordbabstemplatecorei7Stepping, 2, , 179, Electronics, 0, , babstemplate
