Agreed - although I know they cost a lot when new (we have a pair here), two FX4800s have the power of about one Quadro 4000, and one modern GTX card far outclasses the Quadro 4000. Save the slots and power supply draw and spend a few hundred on a better card, given all the other resources you're throwing at this thing.

I would get rid of the ancient quadro cards and put in something that has better cuda performance.

hi List,

 

I am planning on building a 32core machine next week.

 

It's going to be a :

Supermicro H8DG-6-F AMD server

AMD Opteron Interlagos 6272 (2x)

Kingston KTD-PE316K4/32GB kit (2x)

 

Coolermaster HAF X tower case

Antec True Power Quattro 1200 EC

Noctua NH-U9DO A3 Cpu Cooler (2x)

 

Intel SSD 520 series 180GB (2x)

 

 

I still have 2x Quadro FX 4800 cards, that will go in.

And some other stuff, like BluRay burner etc.

 

I'm planning on running Windows 7 Pro 64bit (that will allow for up to 192 Gb of Ram)

 

It's mainly for Adobe Master CS6 (AE, AME, PR), Cinema4d and for creating DCPs.

 

Is there anything that I should think of, before ordering the build ?

 

Thx a lot !

 

kind regards,

 

Marcel van Berk
