Socket 2011 seems a cul-de-sac but is still the only way to get more than a quad.
So thinking about a IB quad K with ASUS mobo + 16gb ram. The o/c gains over SB don't seem to be great due to Intel changing from solder to thermal paste under the heat spreader.
Am using Boinc for Seti/Rosetta/cpdn with F@H on the GPU most of the time with a bit of cuda for Seti.
Would I get good ppd with the SMP FAH client + Big ADV bonus?
Or should I wait until autumn for the release, of the more expensive, IB-E or whatever the hex core will be. [there's not going to be 8 core is there?]
Any input suggestions welcomed.
