Hi,
It has occured to me that just maybe using an HP Z800 workstation with 2x xenon x5650 processors as a base for a gaming rig would give a considerable preformance boost over the latest I7 based boxes. I have done some searching on this site and can only find CPU comparisions and an article on an HP Z400 workstation.
Where I want to end up is with 2x Nvidia 580 graphics cards and three monitors in surround 3d mode playing the space sims comming out this year, Black Prophecy and hopefully Jump Gate Evolutions.
Any opinions on this would be greatly appericiated.
Regards
