[R] What is the most cost effective hardware for R?

[Hugh Morgan]

Thank you all for the help.  We have decided against using for example 
Amazon cloud for basicly paperwork issues.  We have money available now 
for buying kit, this may not be available for buying "services", and may 
not be available next year, or the next.  We shall certainly consider it 
as a fall back at times of high load.

We are looking at the Dell poweredge M915.  It has 64 cores and we are 
getting it with 256 GB memory, and it really not that expensive.  I am 
surprised what power you can get these days for not very much money.

Thanks again.
