That path was heading down the road of diminishing returns and leading to other problems, most notably [excessive power consumption](http://cadspeed.wordpress.com/2011/11/03/sustainability-and-the-cad-workstation-heat-noise-and-power-consumption/) and thermal output.

The “optimal” configuration is almost as fast as the “best” configuration, with a more attractive price tag.
