513862 2007-01-08 04:43:00 Rumour has it that Intel has an Octocore (8 cores) chip soon to be announced.. like very soon.... but it is only a rumour.

One would suspect Intel will hold that trump (assuming they are doing it) card till Q3 when AMD release there Native qaud cores, so I wouldn't hold your breath :xmouth:

513864 2007-01-08 04:45:00 The only catch with a Quad core is that Windows only takes 4 GB of RAM although I am not sure about the 64bit Windows. I would assume that takes 8 GB of RAM?? or 16GB??? winmacguy (3367)

If the rumour turns out to be true I will let you know on Wednesday. Although it is a rumour so I am not holding my breath... much.;)

513866 2007-01-08 05:14:00 Well excluding Case and mobo I get $7500 NZD, you can look up a currency converter

EDIT: I might just add that these prices are from NZ and we probably get different prices to what you will even if you include the exchange rate...

In short... find a US online store with a PC builder and design it yourself for best results

513868 2007-01-08 09:00:00 I plan on Building a Pc close to his setup and wonderd how much it would cost me.

( In American currency please )


What are we? Some american shop? This is an NZ help forum, if you have no idea at all what it would cost I suggest you ring a couple of shops or look online at US shops.

Or is this just to skite?

513870 2007-01-08 09:10:00 Personally I think that that is just a little over the top. What would you intend on doing with all that space, ram etc.. Video editing or something? Animation? Anyway, USA has different prices as someone said above me. And again this is a help site!!! Contact a pc shop or look on the net! BoWzA (11709)

I wouldn't be using that particular set up for video editing, better value for better return here store.apple.com
Incidently Weta use Irix and Linux with some Macs for the bulk of their special effects and stuff.
