The one I mentioned is a precision w/ 2x2680. These dropped in price and flooded the market after leases finished. There are too many problems and finicky nonsense with adding extra video cards (due to the power supply). I also have an HP w/ 2x2680v2 128GB on the way. Using the HP I'll be able use for some projects a few of the old nanos and 295x2s I have sitting around. These are so cheap now.

Reminds me of this, https://medium.com/@timgasser/build-a-16-core-128gb-server-f... Looks like from supply and demand those prices increased a bit.

It's more expensive to build one than to buy one, which is why I said I bought some off lease. I've bought systems not (generally higher priced) parts that were scavenged or not sold.

320 = 3.2 hundreds not .32 hundreds. 3 hundreds, 2 tens, and 0 ones.

But, he said 32 GB, not 320, so it would be 0.32 hundreds.

Right. What do you get when you divide 32GB by 100MB per tab. It's not .32 hundreds. It is 3.2 hundreds.

> The standard machine has 32 GB. So I guess 0.32 hundreds

His comment was in response to Opera 12.x takes ~3-10MB per TAB (+the weight of the media used on the page).

However if you open a static HTML website such as the tasteful http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ it still shows 122 MB used in Chrome Task Manager in spite of the source being 0.005 MB.

Eh, even that site uses Google Analytics. There's a comment in the HTML:

Oh no

I had misread that, thanks.

Someone should paste in the obligatory evolution of this concept in the form of the simpler sites people have put up...do not have them committed to memory/bookmarked, but I know someone here does.

You are so wrong. Check here http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/ these are gaming, most powerful PCs people are using. 8gb is 44% of all users.

But if you click on the RAM section, 40% have 12gb or more.
