4-way SMP 2.0Ghz MP Xeon 603-pin (ES) setup...

[freecableguy]

I have an opportunity to get 4 2.0Ghz Xeon ES CPUs that ALL have the 2MB L3 cache. Like I said...MP. And I can get them all for about $1500. Should I do it? Who wants to see a 4-way Intel system? I do. :eek: :eek:

I think thats a great deal. How much do they retail for?? It sounds good. (If you get it, you'll have to fold for XS's D2OL team)

[Rancidelephant]

thats astonishingly good value for 4 of them ! Go for it :D

How much ram can you get on that motherboard :P

you do realize that a 4way processor board wont have any O/C features right :) they are meant for stability.

[freecableguy]

You do realize the sheer power of 4 MP chips, right? :D ;)

[[XC] moddolicous]

so, is that a yes, your getting them?

[perkam]

I dunno, as long as it doesnt cut out of your Dual-Core/R520 Budget, go ahead FCB !!!!

too bad they arent quad 2GHz opterons, then we'd be cooking.

Dang I wish I had the $$ for a 4 way...

or just the new dualy Nforce chipset.. sli+dual opterons.. :banana4:

how are you gonna get a motherboard for these CPU's?

personally I dont think it's worth it.
but if you think it will be fun, they why not? theres always ebay.

[lalPOOO]

Get em, play with them till you're bored, then sell the rig as an insane server :)
Seems like it'd be a monster if you can get a board for all 4.

I'm not quite sure I fully understand your post. Do these come with the mobo for them already, or do you need to buy it seperatly?

If it comes with the mobo I would do it, if not I wouldn't. In fact if it comes with the mobo and you decide not to buy them I would be ready to buy them.

something to look for is a Mobo that supports 4 and has a clockgen for it. That would be great. If you get it, fold for our D2OL team.
