299772 2004-12-05 23:05:00 I managed to make a version with 32GB of RAM, but it was $16,000 more (2GB sticks don't come cheap!)

Anyway, who the hell needs that much!!

My question: Could XP run on this machine? Because I mean, could it handle 4 Xeon's and 16GB ram? You would have to cut down to 4GB right....

Eight-way symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) To increase server performance and capacity, you can add processors, an approach to increasing your network capacity is known as scaling up. The enhanced support for SMP allows you to add processors that work together—that is, multiprocessor servers. Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, supports up to eight processors in a single system or partition.

We've got a machine here at work with 4x Xeons and 16gb of RAM. It's a busy little machine as well. Everything is hot swappable, including the 4 power supplies.

2 fairly small 15000rpm hard drives (mainly because the rig is connected to a fairly large raid array) for running the OS and SQL server.

I was meaning what kind of PERSON needs that much though. I can understand a company needing that. Hell, my business could do with one of those, but it's Celly 1.2 seems to cope :p
