Yes, it's.

Infineon 1gb Memory Module
Pc2-3200r
240 Pin
Regestered Ecc
Hys72t128000hr-5-a
Ddr2-sdram 400mhz

I am getting the resource cd from Intel atm. What other drivers do I need to get for the SE7520BB2? I want to have everything ready for when all the parts show up.

I have every driver and the newest bios,etc..I mean everything..
Some parts a bit big to email..
I wasn't able to get down to grab the HS today. Had people in the house to see Dear Old..
Will go Monday..

Any chance you could put them on a cd for me? No big hurry on the HS. Family needs to come first.

It seems that this board reports itself as the same platform ID (0x0023) as the BD2 board, so it passed the platform compatibility validation that it runs before doing the firmware updates.

I haven't had much luck with the on-board RAID in linux though. It seems that linux sees it as JBOD and the RAID functionality is really just software drivers that are activated with BIOS commands? I would have expected a server board to have "real" RAID support, not the software junk we see on desktop boards. :shrug:

Then again, the board is so cheap that I can't really complain too much.

The IO shield from the BD2 should get here early next week. I'll post pics once that part is in as then the build will be pretty close to 100% complete as far as hardware goes.

Let me know if the I/O plate works and where you got it as I'm going to order a bunch of them..:D

If it works, please order one for me as well :up:

Sammy's case is full of dust bunnies right now but I don't want to the system offline :p:

Yes, That's my plan, to get a bunch for here and send enough to Jaco to cover all you guys in Europe..

I think jcool will want one as well. You better ask him.

I have 2 Sossaman rigs. Both Intel SE7520BB2 boards and 2 Ghz cpu's.

Hope to hear about them soon. My mobo came in today. Ready to get it up and crunching.

So did more 2000Mhz show up? I was reading the thread (and got to page 12) before I realized it was 44 pages long... :rolleyes:

I'd really like to build one of these (Edit: or a couple if I can find the money), but it has to go at the end of my list. Would they still be around in 3-4 months or what would be my next best bet?

Yeah, me ;)
2x 2Ghz Sammies on the Intel board as well, for quite some time now. I think Sammy holds my machines' uptime record with something close to 3 months or so (on standard 32bit XP no less :ROTF: )

If you guys do a mass shipment for the IOshield to Europe, include one for me. Jaco will have to send me some, uuh, stuff, soon anyways :D

Guess I should get an i/o shield just in case.

I am sorry to noob out,but I must of missed it- what is the IO shield for

It's the thing in the back of your case that the keyboard/usb etc plugs go through. hth

aH yes of course for the people using cases for there rigs and further proof that I should of went to bed 45 mins ago- and not ask questions before thinking them through!!

Lucky you, looks great :up:

Now I just need the heatsinks and backplate to arrive and I'll be set :D
