Made for what the company’s calling “megatasking” (running multiple apps side by side with multi-threaded games), the Vigor Force Recon QX4 is powered by a pair of the AMD Athlon 64 FX-74 series dual-core processors on a motherboard with the new Dual Socket Direct Connect (DSDC) Architecture. The base system sells for $2,899, which is high, but a good price for all the components packed into this beast.
If you’re headed to CES in January, be sure to check out Vigor’s booth.

The only problem with these type of systems is that most applications are still not built to handle multi-processor applications efficiently. The OSs need to be upgraded to balance processor core loads… this is like putting in a 450 inside of a smart car… looks cool… but don’t expect to go that much faster driving down the road where the speed limits are 60mph.
