  1. yes only Xeon class processors have multi cpu capability although there was a consumer class socket 771 that had multi cpu ablity.
  2. well Of course Xeons have a better chance to Overclock becasue they are taken off the better part of the waffer like the parts where there are no defects are either turned into Xeons by addeding multi cpu instruction sets or highend "extreme Series" cpu. http://www.geek.com/articles/chips/from-sa...s-made-2009079/ intresting read if you have the time it's not detailed but cool to see how they make them. (its where i got the wafer diagram) however they make the same heat and use the same wattage although do to the higher quality they have higher Delta temps. so they have a higher tollerence to extreme temps into the 80-90ºC range. although if you buy a dell you cant Overclock it. but like you said warranty and quailty may be a win.
  3. wow.. thats pretty insane. i thought you were joking about a chess game or something. like i do about minesweeper. yeah sign up for dell small biz email alerts sometimes they email nice 10-15% off stuff. I know they dual nehalm 1U servers that are kickass.
  4. why blow the engine!!! why dont they give them to junkyards and then they can turn profits on them sicne I there are lots of good cars going to waste lots of them are clean.
  5. lol, I have a i486dx2 in my closet i just need a psu.
  6. depending on when i get back from DC on sunday maybe i will start a benchmark thread.
  7. i7 for 199 anyone!!! http://microcenter.com/single_product_resu...duct_id=0302727 but i just upgraded the main rig for now I7 920 @ 4.2 ghz asus p6t deluxe V1 12gb of ddr3 ocz @1800 2 SAS 15k rpm 150gb drive raid 0 2 samsung 1tb drive raid 1 2 BFG GTX 275 in SLI Antec 850 watt psu (need to upgrade) I7 on water thus leaving my backup rig in the closet Asus P5N7A-VM Intel q9450 8gb of mushkin 800 ddr2 MSI 8800 ultra 2 150 gb raptor hd's raid 0 1 samsung tb And i gave my AMD server to a family in need asus crosshair athlon 6000 x2 4gb's ddr2 800 ATI 4850 2 500 gb drives. I got the GTX 275s over the 4890's casue they were cheaper and they support cuda which i plan on using. I heard you can program it with Python!!!! Who wants to start an Offical C & G benchmark thread!!!! it would be fun! and i think i can be in the top 5 atleast my max res is 1920x1080. Its funny though i dont even game. but I could and thats what counts. Its like supercharging a 70' chevelle SS 454 its not necessary but it makes it that much better.
  8. Well its your money so i wont spend it for you but dual quad cores are way more than you can ever need. Especially enterprise class stuff which is just overpriced consumer stuff since there is no different instruction sets. I dont know if cad can use it yet but adobe photoshop is able to use Nvida graphic cards (8 series and up I recommend GTX 285) to do parallel processing (supercomputerish) they call it Cuda. it makes rendering 1000% faster! seriously look into X58 motherboards intel I7's 920 is the best value and a good zalman or sunbeam core contact heatsink and fan stock one blows. 12gb's of ddr3 which can be easily had for less than $200 GTX series video cards gtx 275 best value / performance Velociraptor hard drives they are fast!! and cheaper than SSD's SSD are fast when empty once they are filled they are slow as hell thats why i like fast mechanical drives be damned if they fail though. I use Server class SAS drives but veloci's are just as fast. get a good psu like a 800+ watt antec or a PC power cooling or silverstone or Corsair or themaltake. This will be around 1000 - 1500 but good and damn fast. more than you could ever need plus it has room to virtualize a comfortable 4 OS's. Im sorry to the AMD fans but at current gen stuff Intel has them beat for raw power. but AMD has some nice Opterons out if you want to go amd i think they have a 6 core out now

    Alcohol!!!

    to me a good Martini starts with Bombay Sapphire

    Alcohol!!!

    I made an ass of myself Saturday while getting lost in some crown royal...
  11. http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html download spybot search and destroy update it scan it then uninstall it and see if that helps.
  12. LOL.. I don't know if i could pull that "its your job" card. since the accident she has been on roids from the doctor and she works out a lot. she probably could take me if im not armed.
  13. hmm. a 76 caprice convertible in yellow. a 83 caprice coupe (350) and a 96 caprice SS. then a restored 66 toronado. Then a koiensegg
  14. wow.. why do you need xeon's? plan on virtualizing servers? the 55 nehalm hyperthreads 4 cores meaning it can handle 8 threads at once almost acting as a 8 core cpu. and if your virtualizing servers it can handle 15 of them off of one chip. also xeons allow for cross connecting dual cpus so if you have a mobo that supports 2 of them it load shares and them you can virtualize 31 servers. It is 1366 the latest and greatest. the 54 is older and doesnt hyper thread. its proven though. Im wondering what are you doing on this computer because that is a hell of a lot of number cruching power. Cause a normal 920 i7 will tackle anything you ever could throw at it and its $199 at microcenter.
  15. Im sleeping on the couch because.... yes I put the roll on backwards. I never knew it was supposed to roll of the top and hang down towards the front and not hang from the back. I still cant believe I argued about it and lost... I thought it doesn't matter but it does.
  16. I thought you "dial" on a phone?
  17. Did they really just find this out now?
  18. I already did it... welding rear suspensions on riviera's and eldorado's
  19. You know thats a good idea. I will also start breeding sharks with laser beams attached to there frickin head too. Then release them when that fault gives way and fills up.
  20. on a other forum this same thread lasted 4 pages in 2 days before it was locked because members were fighting. The best quote i think Quote: "Originally Posted by xoggyux View Post Yeah right, you missed a HUGE BLACK HOLE in the floor and you are going to see a orange cone? But then again, blame the workers. After all you can sue if it was their fault. I wonder, if it would have been a cliff instead of a sewer hole, who would the family sue? GOD?" maybe she was wearing a skirt and thought she was stepping over a mirror. Also this one was good "I'm sorry, I have a low tolerance for stupidity and you have already hit my limit, I'm just going to have to put you on ignore now."
  21. Nah, It was on a late 90's early 00's Suburban with limo tint and moderate 19 inch chrome 5 spokes.
  22. Yeah the State of Michigan as a whole needs to win the lotto! Hopefully things get better for you guys. I just feel bad for the young generation that's just getting out of college. They have it the worst right now. debt + No jobs = ?????? (I guess we will find out soon) Hopefully in 5 years I can retire and not give a damn! So far Investing in 85% bonds has been a smart idea. As they are averaging +4.5% a year right now.
  23. that grille needs some work as well as the headlights but it has a sexy profile
  24. 2 things who would give you a degree in artificial Intelligence when sometimes i question if you have any intelligence of your own?
