If you guys don't have an I7 processor to test with, I'd be a willing volunteer! Just let me know.

Here's my setup.

MB – Asus Rampage 2 Extreme
CPU – Intel Core i7 920 CPU @  w/Apogee GTZ WB
MB – Asus Rampage II Extreme Bios Ver. 1104
RAM – OCZ Platinum 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666)
VGA – SLI – EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 w/D-Tek FuZion GFX 2 & UNI-Sink Heatskink
PSU – Corsair HX1000 Power Supply
HDD – Raid 0 – Western Digital Cavier Black 500GB 7,200 32MB
WATER COOLING – x2 MRC320 Radiators, Swiftech MCP655 Pump, 8 Scythe SY1225SL12SH 120mm "Slipstream" Fans
OTHERS – 1 WD Black 1TB HD, 2 DVD Burners, & 1 Flash card reader

IT's nice, but will you run profiling tools ? It's too boring to work via "broken phone line" that will be eventually when some non-native english language speaker like me for example tried to describe what to run on different host... Testers are very handy on beta stage, less but still valuable on alpha stage but on development stage....

Ok, to me it sounds like it might be a pain if I understand you correctly. So for me probably not worth it then. I don't have any experience with software development.


I guess good luck guys!

Not so much as pain, as a "commitment".  ;)
It's kinda the trade-off to being "part" of the development effort and adds a new dimension to this hobby if one wants to learn and be involved at a deeper level.
Just depends upon what you're looking to make of this hobby, but the key is keeping it fun.

If it feels like work, creates it's own stress, & has lost the fun factor....it's not really a hobby any more, is it  ;).
re: software development, the Devs will do the heavy lifting, don't worry.  :)  They might just need some additional help, validation, or a 2nd set of eyes and testing sometimes.  The gents here will help you if you're willing to also invest some effort into improving your knowledge & skills on your own as time goes on.

I guess depending on what was involved, next month I could probably help you guys out. As I'm in my last quarter in college for Computer and Electronics Engineering Technologies.


Also I need to finish finding a stable OC on my computer.
