F@H - MB, RAM and ATI GPU Recomendation

[KE1HA]

Question:

I want to use a pair of Crossfire x1900 or variants with an Intel Conroe e6700 / e6800 CPU for folding, ultimately running 4x cores 2x CPU's and 2x GPU's with the soon to be released GPU core.

I also want the the boards to run on x16 < both of them >, not the master running x16 and slave at x8.

What combination of MB, RAM and Graphics card combination would do the job?

As I understand it it only supports one GPU atm.

As for rest P5B Deluxe tbh and the 16x and 8x stuff will NOT affect it, the B/W is only used up to about 2x, possibly 3x.

How you gonna get four cores??? Two machines?

How rich are you? Have your own Powerstation to run it!?

Ohh ... I didn't realise I could only run one ATI core ... was thinking I was able to run one core on each GPU

The other two cores would be one each on core processor.

As for the cost & power station ... that's what work is good for

I looked at the Mac Pro, but didn't see a selection for Quad ATI's at least not yet.

Im assuming your referring to the R590 configuraitons that ATI are developing < 2x GPU's ber board>, then there's the slight issue of a F@H core to be released.

The Dual 3.0 Woodcrests look particularly interesting, especialy with the Conroe upgrade possibilities.


[EDIT]
As for the power requirments:

Power Station = Turbo-Cool 1KW - Power Plant
