Yes I understand, however the other 10 cores are set with affinity to other processes. Although many gaming applications are not heavily multi threaded the benefit of so many cores is the ability run many heavy applications concurrently with no apparent performance degradation.

I dont get it, but , hey, why not , I thought RAM was supposed to do what you said ...

Hmm , how come you are saying in your specs you have a 580 , and in your pics it is showing 480 ?

The text was unreadable unfortunately, can you make them bigger?

BTW do you know how those server Xeon babies is compared to regular desktop CPU's when using Dolphin?

Click onto a thumbnail to initialise the gallery application then click onto the full size option at the base of each slide, each image is 2560 x 1600.

Think of each of the x5680s as a suped up Intel i7 980x i.e. with 2 QPI links each instead of 1, support for up to 288GB (each CPU has 9 RAM slots) of RAM per CPU and a higher grade packaging with a an extra ~10 degrees celcius max temp than the 980x. Each CPU connects to it's own 36 lane PCIE io hub for a total of 72. I was able to mostly max the dolphin settings and the emulator was still running so fast I was finding it difficult to select menu items so I followed the performance guide turned vsync on and limited the fps to 60 with 16x AF.

Thanks, I tried IE instead of FireFox which I usually use and I now saw the images.
I have so many blocking add-ins installed in FireFox which practically blocks everything so no wonder the images was so small.

Anyway it's looking good, congrats!

Altough the Xeons have been tempting to get in the past, I don't think I ever will buy one.

I think he only made a typo regarding the GPU, it's easy to make misstakes like these.

Hehe.... I'm speechless
Compared to that, my rigs are nothing

I see. THAT's the kind of rig I need to play Metroid other M at fullspeed, lol. Is that a 6TB hard drive? Which one is it?

Whatever ... nice rig of course !

It is 5 x Western Digital 2TB 2003FYYS installed in Synology DS1010+ configured in RAID 6 connected to the PC using ISCSI.
