[geeks] Reflections on an Ultra 60

[Chris Byrne]

DOH, I knew that (the cache thing). Like I said, it's 6 am here (now almost
7 actually).  I would very much like a pair of 450x4mb nmodules but last
time I checked that would have been at least $1500 each which is a bit more
than I can do at the moment... like say a cars worth.

I hadn't noticed the heat issue with the M3, but then again the '60 has
enough airflow through it to fly a fair sized kite.

Honestly I don't generally do the kind of serious 3d work that the M6 would
be useful for, and if I did I'd prolly buy an Octane anyway (I've been
looking for an excuse to buy one ever since I sold my 3 O2's)

The maximum cache on any of the "UPA slot" CPU's is 4M.  A pair of 450's
would be neat.  I have access to an Elite 3Dm3, but it is in my U10.
Also, the m3 generates a fair amount of heat... The m6 somewhat more.  I
do like the cool "sunburst" logo for the startup banner.
