Opps. I forgot some details related to the 8150 that might be of
interest since you are considering them.

I have four 8150 systems, three slightly over clocked to 4GHz, two
liquid cooled. Three are using the GigaByte GA-990FXA-UD7 MB and the
last a ASUS Crosshair V FORMULA. 16GB of memory in each.

The 6274 system has two 16-core CPUs with 32GB of memory, growing as
income allows.
