Hello Donal The latest one I've seen is a 12 core Intel Xeon dual processor machine. I'd love to buy Gordon one for when he comes home. That might give him a boost during his recovery; but currently we don't have the funds :-c Lynne On 10 Sep 2011, at 21:40, Dónal Fitzpatrick wrote: Hi all,

Hello Donal I've read the rumours about the release of Intel's new Sandy Bridge processors and I have to admit it sounds yummy. I'd love to get Gordon a 16-core machine like that so I might hang on and see what happens towards the first quarter of next year. After everything that's happened re
