Dave,You're right on point as usual Chris. You better step back and stop making so much sense!
Here's a shot of my workstation. Liquid cooling, multi processors, arrayed drives and loads of RAM. It eats nonlinear FEA for breakfast.
duct taping a Ti-86 inside your case does not count as multiple processors
Sincerely,

j/k... i'm curious to know the specs of what you're running (specifically what level of RAID you are using). ps keep up the good work.
