Hello,

does somebody know, what hardware is best for a huge mathematica
calculation, that needs lots of memory? 
I think of minimum 8GB memory and the fastest possible processors
(probably opterons???).

However, it should be a personal computer. 

Is it better to run it under Linux or Windows?

Thanks,

Manuel Schmidt
