    Specifications described on any product is useless without understanding what they really mean in terms of the final build. By seeing how you—that is you: the experienced members of forum—build the computer, explaining why each and every component is selected because its specs are...

    Artificial neural network. I'll be mostly coding/testing models based on recent neurobiology finds in human/animal brain. That is why it is absolutely necessary to maximize the RAM and TFLOPS. (there are around 100 billion neurons in a human brain, each running more than thousands of key...

    16GB single-stick (Total 192GB Memory)

    I didn't buy the board yet, but it will be a server motherboard. (EVGA Classified-SR2) I'm planning on buying the parts in a month or two. Total budget of around $10000.

    You got a point. I suppose it is my personality than anything; I tend to plan earlier and know the market better, keeping up with the updates until I buy anything. I've already learned a lot. My only wish was to increase my general judgment skill in hardwares, which I don't know much about...

    16GB single-stick (Total 192GB Memory)

    Hello, I've been hunting for 16GB single-stick DDR3 ECC DIMM (1066MHz) for a while. The cheapest I've found was $420~$440 range per stick, but since I'm getting 12 of them (total 192GB, $5000~$5300), the price difference really matters. Anyone know cheaper sellers than above mentioned?

    Thanks for the reply. Yea, I should've waited but it is the case that I'm going to build it over the summer most likely. Anyway, EVGA Classified-SR2 forum says I can stack the memory up to 192GB. 16GB single-stick is around $420~$440 these days, If I went for the full-build, MOBO: $580 - EVGA...

    1) What will you be doing with this PC? Mostly independent computer science research. (5% for gaming, perhaps) 2) What's your budget? $7500~$10000 (only if there is a good reason to over-extend to $10000) 3) Where do you live? New York City 4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? #...

    Need to buy a research computer

    I like that fact that OpenCL is cross-platform with diverse devices supporting (I'm a C++ fan, but given OpenCL's already superior execution, the kind of accessibility (like JAVA) is a plus.) I think NV is pulling away from professional or for-fun researchers, focusing more on high-end gaming...

    Need to buy a research computer

    Should I just go with Radeon 6990s? (AMDs have better Memory + TLFOPS) I can learn OpenCL, no problem.

    Need to buy a research computer

    Thanks for an extensive response. :D Wow, I didn't know there was a mobo that could support more RAM. (Personally, I think RAM will take higher priority in my play research. I'd really prefer 64~128GB+ RAM, but those'd be server mobos with no GPU slots.) And, you're right, I really don't have...
