Yep, it's intended to provide scorching PI performance, Chris. CPU is a Threadripper 1950X 16-Core. 64GB DDR4 3600MHz RAM. 500GB NVMe SSD and 10TB HDD. Quadro P2000 graphics.

I have heard anecdotally that PI runs faster under Linux than Windows, so I'll do some comparative benchmarking and do my processing under Linux if it has a measurable advantage.

My current workstation has lasted me 7 years so I thought it was time for a significant upgrade!

Cheers,
Rick.
