I will be grateful for any suggestions on the best motherboard and CPU combo + memory for such computations. He can put it together from parts himself, but if you know about some companies that sell such specialized computers, I will be also thankful. You can send the answers to me (jkl*wowway.biz) and I will summarize the answers. Jan Labanowski jkl*wowway.biz , ccl*ccl.net
