AVADirect Now Offers Personal Supercomputer
AVADirect, a leading provider of custom computer systems, offers the first personal supercomputer workstation with Dual 8-Core Xeon CPUs, 192GB Memory and Four Graphics Cards. Because of the close partnership with EVGA, AVADirect now offers ground breaking capabilities based on new EVGA SR-X motherboard with wide variety of component combinations to meet the needs of the most demanding professionals or enthusiasts.
Within the past month, manufacturers began to release new motherboards based on the E5 2600 XEON processors. End-users have seen them offered in rackmount and tower configurations from Supermicro, Asus, and Intel. Now, AVADirect is proud to announce that EVGA has released an enthusiast series motherboard that AVADirect offers in a custom configuration. Supported by the EVGA Classified SR-X dual-socket 2011 motherboard, the configuration boasts a whole new level of performance and expandability, including 7x PCI e expansion slots (with PCI-E 16x 3.0 support), 6x USB 3.0 ports, and 8x internal SATA ports; 4 being SATA III 6Gb/s. More importantly, the system will support up to 192GB of certified, Quad-Channel ECC RAM.A configuration of this magnitude can utilize applications such as:
SR-X Dual-Socketed Personal Supercomputer offers a new level of performance yet to be explored by any other manufacturer than EVGA. This is a huge step into the serious performance bracket and AVADirect is excited to be right behind EVGA with their mission to break down walls and create a whole new standard for bleeding-edge products available today.

If so how do they manage 192GB as the board only supports 96GB officially. Id of thought using more than the manufacturer official specs would be a bit of a poor move as surely the manufacturer would state 192GB if indeed the board supported 192GB stably?
No man, those 2 Xeons and 192 RAM is for using in some apps like CATIA, SolidWorks, Maya, etc,
where you have ubber complex assemblies, or real time rendering and stuff..
Yes you can have 16/32 "cores" but no OC, the SR2 maybe "only" have 12/24 "cores" but you can OC those Xeon´s [1366] over 4.8, and that makes all the difference.

My bet would be you can buy a decent new car for what this costs...
EDIT: I'm getting to old.. lol
