I am not building it from bought parts - it kind of ... fell in my lap. So I am not going to fuss.

It is 2 physical processors - each 12 cores each. X5660

Technically its 6 cores each but they are hyperthreaded, so the OS sees them as a total of 24 cores. 6x2x2=24

Combined with 72G of ram, its got some oomph. I may need to replace my HD6800 card in it sooner or later though.....
