xylex Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 So, my new system from work puts me up to six monitors, normally across 3 systems running Fedora, XP, and Win 7, but I also have a Mac system and a Vista system I can bring into the mix for a total of 14 cores and 26 GB of RAM. I'm told that it's overkill, but I'm sure that some of you guys have comparable or sweeter setups. So let's hear about/see them.

tibberous Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Yeah, little overkill. I got a TV, security camera monitor, main computer and secondary computer - even that's only 4 monitors. I could see how a couple more monitors could be cool though, they'd basically keep you from having to switch between windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xylex Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 That's one impressive box. You ever come close to maxing out all 6 cores other than benchmarking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmola Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 The geek factor is high in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xylex Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 What geek factor? "Hey beautiful, I have 12 million pixels of screen space back at my place. Want to come see it?" works almost every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmola Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Haa, I'm not sure where that work though -- maybe at the high school science fair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 That's one impressive box. You ever come close to maxing out all 6 cores other than benchmarking? Thanks I envy your 6 screens (I could use more lol) And yeah, I've maxed out on CPU/RAM before in Adobe After Effects when rendering content.
