cool. Thanks for the tip. I wasn't aware of those chips.

I just got done spending about $9000. That's quite a thrill when it's not your own money!

Here's what we ended up getting:

Xeon 3.0Ghz 5160 Chips (x2)
4GB 667Mhz buffered RAM
Geforce 7950GX2 1GB Vidya card
160Gb 10K SATA boot drive
320Gb SATA storage drives (x2)
QLogic QLA200 fiber channel card
Adobe Production Studo Premium
Tinderbox 1-4 v2 plug-in bundle
Digital Film Tools "55mm" plug-in bundle
Gridiron Nucleo render plug-in for AE7

I can't wait for this to arrive!
