Only 4 cores. =8^( The "2xx" indicates a max 2-way machine. Previously, |
10 |
it was 2 x 242s, single 1.6 GHz cores. Now it's 290s, dual 2.8 GHz |
11 |
cores, so 2 cores x 2 sockets, 4 cores total over 2 slots. (Each core |
12 |
shows up as a CPU on the monitors, thus the 4 CPU monitors running above, |
13 |
actually 4 cores over two CPUs.) |

I'd have liked to go with the 8xx series, but they run way more money per |
16 |
socket and the boards are of course higher as well. Way out of my budget |
17 |
range, even for "incremental" upgrade. Well, out of my range for a |
18 |
couple years anyway... it'll be mid-range in a couple years. |
