max unit size

The i7 is a quadcore... I'm more impressed by the insane amount of graphics potential. Allow me to guess the price (in euro, I'll convert it then):

Intel i7 extreme - 850 €
Vista Ultimate 64 - 150 €

now we are at the 1000 € my new rig from last September costed me....
let's continue

2x300gb insane harddisks - 450 €
12 gb DDR3 RAM (2x6?) - 500 €
2x 4870x2 - 750 €

assuming equally potent stuff for framework:

case: 150 €
water cooling set: 250 €
insane psu (1 kw at least): 400 €

makes a total of... 3500 €
or A$ 8790
or C$ 7170
or US$ 5804
or GBP 4000

that's about one quarter of my annual income. Wow.

or A$ 8790

i wonder how much of that ram is going to waste, it never ceases to amaze me how over the top some companies/people go. i saw a system for 6000 AUD it was with 12gig of ddr3 on a 32 bit system, with xfired ati cards with 1gig each. on a 32bit system that is 8 gig of ram doing nothing, thats prob 500$ off the price ??? its so stupid how they suck people in just so they can say omfg its got 12GIG!!!!!

im not sure what the capacity of 64bit system architecture is because its been too long since i did a computers course but surely some of that is wasted he has either 2 or 4 gig just in GPU ram, (im not sure if its two 1 gig cards in xfire or two 2 gig cards) either way its around 15gig of system ram all up, surely even a 64 bit system can only utilise around 8 or 10 gig of ram.

just my 2 cents :)

Cheers knoddy

while the rig is no doubt ridiculously expensive this is assuming he doesnt know someone who can get cost price. my housemate has his own PC buisness and i get cost price off him. also who knows maybe he is loaded, i know if i was id be buying a beast like that :P

Well,

Back to the OP, From the screenshots I have seen, the largest infantry unit had 160 men in it. Wont know for sure what the highest number is though til the final product comes out. Wont be much longer.
