Quad socket board communitarian bulk buy

[Tristor]

any possibility of seeing if the slightly faster ones can be sourced for about the same? depending on how large the group buy is, we might be able to hunt down a seller for 8354s for maybe ~10-15 more..depending on how talks go
there seems to be a company selling out a bunch of 8354s for cheap (most bids are at like 60 bucks for a pair...US only though)

There's 8356s for $62 on ebay right now. There's another thread in this forum about them...

i know, thats why i tried to say it like i did. we got off track on another thread talking about points.

ive got 3 4P tyans, 8356s, and the all average 9000 ppd on boinc, running the other things on my sig.

one of the 4P is running WCG, and that one has been averging 5000 ppd in WCG Boinc points. so 35kppd in grid points or around there.


it got me messed up for a month, trying to figure out what kind of points ppl were talking about.

Would this outdo an i7-860 @ 4.0GHz then? I hear people say an i7-920 OCed (3.8? 4.0?) with HT on does about 35k PPD in WCG, so if this quad board does more than i7-860 @ 4GHz with HT on, for $150 less per node, that's pretty damn good deal.
