Just a general curiosity topic...
I'm planning on building a work station after New Year (so still 6 months off, busy saving up).
Apart from being good at what I need the processing power for, I was curious if it is completely "useless" for gaming (the apps I run will happily devour each and every core/thread thrown at them).
Current contenders for that build are Asus WS motherboards with intel 602 chipset and two E5 (xeaon) octacore processors.
Anybody got any experience using such machines for non-work related purposes?
