New machine is pretty damn fast (scanline benchmark report)

I built myself a new machine for Xmas, and finally got it all put together (except for the gfx card, which is in the mail). I'm using an old GTX 520 card while I await my GTX 590 -- but the scanline renderer doesn't care about the card AFAIK. I'm using the scanline benchmark from 3dspeedmachine.com.

My old system renders it in 2m 44s:
Asus P6T Deluxe v2 mobo
Intel i7-920 @2.67 ghz CPU
12G DDR3-1333 Corsair RAM (2G x6)
100G SSD C:\ drive

My new system renders it in 1m 09s:
Intel DX79SI Mobo
Intel i7-3960X Sandy Bridge E 3.3 ghz CPU
300G SSD C:\ drive
32G DDR3-2400 quad channel RAM (8x 4G)
H100 watercooler (I mention because I love it)

... and that's without any overclocking at all.

Nice.
No, scanline, or mental ray for that matter, won't use the GPU at all when rendering, it's mainly down to CPU power.
Only hardware renderers like iray or quicksilver use the GPU to render.

i have the i7-3930K 3.2GHz that i overclocked to 4.3 (air cooled) it renders the same scene in 0:58
so i'm sure you can shave a couple off seconds off by overclocking

I'm a musician, and my composing template is pretty RAM hungry (lots of East-West instruments, along with a bunch of Kontakt). That said, it's like money -- you can never have too much RAM...
