that's right folks, amd is giving away a 48 core beast (four 12 core opterons) and all you have to do is write an essay:

i should note the above was meant tongue in cheek.
good luck.
thank you, scum again.

If you just can't wait to get your hands on AMD's latest 12-cored 'Magny-Cours' Opteron processor, perhaps you'd care to risk buying leaked versions from eBay?

IIRC desktop OS only support two sockets (still) so you'd be running Windows Server 2008 on there if you wanted to run a recent Windows build. Otherwise Linux. Doubt a Hackintosh would be successful due to the AMD chips. What would you plan on doing with a server OS on a rig like that? I see it running ESXi for me at home and that's about it.
FB-DIMM are the real cause of global warming
