Hi,

Reading your e-mail address I noticed that you live in Taiwan, so I can deduce that it's relatively cheap to you to buy IT products.

With this in mind my suggestion for high performance is:

Use a Quad-Core processor Intel Q6600 Install at Least 4GB of Memory

If you prefer AMD you can use: AMD Opteron Quad-Core Barcelona Model 2350 or Model 2347

Other alternative much more expensive is: http://www.apple.com/macpro/ with 8 cores.

The number of cores is roughly the number of studies you can process simultaneously. Notice that each process will take 20-24 hs.

Keep in mind that you need to use the fastest memory in order to achieve maximum benefit from multi-core architecture.

Best Regards

Pedro Paulo Jr
