Hi, I'm French and I've been playing with POV since the early 90's, and I've
just finished building a dual Xeon system based on thoses cheap chips found on
eBay ($135 for both... amazing...). I used an Asus Z9PA-D8 motherboard, a couple
of Cooler Master Hyper 212X, 32 Gb of regulard UDIMM DDR3 1600 from Crucial

POV, the result is below:

CPU time used: kernel 0.80 seconds, user 1992.38 seconds, total 1993.17 seconds.
Elapsed time 69.37 seconds, CPU vs elapsed time ratio 28.73.
Render averaged 3778.82 PPS (131.52 PPS CPU time) over 262144 pixels using 32
thread(s).

so, that's 3778.82 PPS average. Not bad I think.
