    FOR MANY IS VERY EXPENSIVE, putting together a dual-processor system (xeon), with version (VIENA MIR SE) UNDERSTAND THAT WITH A I7 920 AND 12 GM OF RAM CAN HANDLE 32 INSTRUMENT S, AS ARE ALREADY OUT RAM 4GB MODULE planned to buy 12 GB RAM ( 3 x 4 GB) TO UPDATE AFTER A 24 GB, would indeed be justified?, MANY INSTRUMENTS COULD HANDLE THE STANDARD VERSION MIR WITH A I7 950 AND 24GB? It would be a table of equivalence will lead us to indicate how many could handle INSTRUMENTS WITH AN EXAMPLE AND I7 980X 24GB RAM, 950 I7 OR and 24GB RAM, REMEMBER THAT THE I7 950 APROX come down to 300 USD in August, it would be very ADSEQUIBLE FOR MANY IN THE USERs, MANUAL OF MIR was indicated that no overclock the CPU, this applies also if overclocking WITH AN ADEQUATE AIR COOLING AS A NOCTUA NH-D14 or WATER COOLING, THANKS. SORRY MY ENGLISH I SPEAK SPANISH.

     In general, something like an i7 930 with 12 gigs of ram should be able to run MIR SE fine when paired with the VSL SE collections.  As you mention, MIR SE will handle a maximum of 32 instruments, and that - from posted specs - seems to be a realistic level of performance for a lower end i7 processor.

    One should be able to do somewhat better with a 6 core i7 (still very expensive).

    From other posts, if you tried to run the full MIR on a lower end i7 930, your performance would max out at about, or actually perhaps a bit below, the MIR SE level.  To really run MIR full bore, it really does require the dual xeon type of computer with corresponding ram levels.  That is beyond the budget for many of us, and that is one reason MIR SE is so attractive.  Pairing MIR SE with the VSL SE libraries should provide a very fine starting point.  You could always add additional full library collections as you find you need them later on.
