Seriously, though... can you imagine a F@Holding farm with, oh, just speculating here, about 20 or so of these little beasties, overclocked, watercooled, and F@Holding 24/7/365???

See this was my issue with a dual core CPU, and dual instances of F@H, one instance running 24/7, average WU output 23 hours, two instances running 24/7 average wu output per console 54 hours, loosing preformance on one core since both are running full blast, meaning that running one instance actually got the work done quicker than two.

In the QUAD FX system, you could run two instances quite well, maybe even 4, being that they run there own memory per chip, own NB and everything, its pretty much two motherboards in one, making what AMD calls, megatasking, very easy. The only thing i can see this setup doing is loosing memory bandwith in the GB/s range, due to the extra mile everything must travel. I still wan to see real world benchmarks
such as four instances, or 4xSuperPI 32 runs.
