A: to have the fastest machine on earth
Why would I buy it, if I had the funds to do so:
1) I like dual socket machines and this is really the first dualie with all the options in BIOS to get the most out of the cpu's.
I also generally find that dual socket boards are built better( more stable) than single sockets.
2) I do DC work, aids, cancer, etc..
The "faster" the machine the more work it can do and hopefully shorten the time until the cures are found for these diseases to give my kids and yours to come a better healthier life.
3) And last: Still a little kid in me that has some fun with a few of the benchmarks.
I've spent maybe 12-20 hours in the past year running benches, mostly Cinebench and wPrime. The rest of the time the machines work at 100% load 24/7 doing research.
