Yeah there is; $12.00, different packaging, and the argument they're binned higher.. :rolleyes: Why would that be? Who OC's a server? The worst 6600 on the planet OC's 1 Gig by accident. I must be missing the point... Whatever, have a good one...Quote:

Definitely looking forward to seeing some of your benches. I have a couple of 7900GT's that run @ 7900GTX specs so I should be able to acheive your non overclocked results.Quote:

Could you please do a Raid5 test anyway? :buddies: I'm still hoping that I don't have to buy a proper raid card.
Bull, they are binned at stock speed and vcore... Please tell me how you measure for higher quality when your worst product has 40% headroom...They get great yields and just like AMD will soon start OCing they own chips to a higher retail rating... This dog doesn't hunt...Quote:

I THINK the xeons are also architecturaly different. 1 is better at number crunching and another is better at what ever. i think if thats what i heard right.Quote:

well chill out dude. i said i think . i suggest u go back to not posting again.:woot:Quote:

I think we all understand that we shouldnt whine that our 2.4ghz cpu wont boot and run orthos at 3.7ghz. But some of us want to eek out all the performance possible out of our $300 cpus and the xeons are looking good right now. I've yet to see someone complain of a dud maybe only sky high temps. I'm not trying to say intel sprinkled the xeons with pixie dust just that is it that unbelievable that they may just be a tad bit better.
Back Ot
This board is looking really decent. I cant wait to see some solid 9x and 10x multi fsb results.
Yup. I LOVE my Xeon. Clocks high with no to little voltage increase. The Xeon with the BadAxe2 is a great combo so far. I also have a DFI CFX3200 that kinda leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Don't get me wrong, I had no real issues with mine and it overclocks like a champ, but the utter disrespect that DFI gave to us owners is hard to forgive. :nono:
Back on topic...I guess that's probably why I won't buy this DFI although I'm sure that it will be fast.
any way we could come back to the topic?
Guys, any more OT I will close the thread. Take the xeon discussion to another thread please.
Is the board picky for memory like other LP boards have been?
Tony, any of the Cold Boot problems that have plauged previous DFI boards?
i didn't know DFI had cold boot problems with any other Intel based mobos :confused:Quote:

Technical issues
Recently, many "cold boot" issues have been determined, relating to various issues in the power supply. Additionally, there have been no reproducible instances of CPU damage outside of user error.
DFI offers a wide range of motherboards with the ability to configure the memory timings well beyond what's normally available to users of other motherboards as well as countless other settings for changing things such as the speed and voltages of various parts. This allows for out of warranty overclocking to the point of several world records. The boards are designed with tight tolerances to provide this overclocking ability which has earned them the reputation of being picky about the components selected.
The DFI Infinity series is well known for having "cold boot" issues, with many people encountering this problem.
More recently, the DFI LanParty RDX-200 CF-DR has been having various functional issues with ATI's ATI CrossFire technology as well as non-working CPUs, from bugs in the BIOS code. Many of the issues found in the RDX-200 CF-DR have been fixed in the board's successor, the Lanparty CFX3200-DR UT.
DFI boards are generally considered to be 'fussy' about the types of memory used in them, preferring Samsung (TCCD, TCC5, TCC3, UCCC) or Winbond (BH5 UTT) chips over 'generic' branded RAM. DFI boards are also known to have issues with Crucial's Ballistix line of memory (using Micron memory), with hundreds of cases being reported of dead ram.
Well for those of us in the Netherlands there wont be a RD600 till end of January. I called their office in Rotterdam and a rep said that due to shipping schedules and logistics of other kind there will be no DFIs in the Benelux till the end of january :cool:
Tony does rd600 support ECC?
well here (France), there's a shop saying (29th november) that dfi rd600 will be available in 15 daysQuote:
