Really? i thought 2.16ghz is the highest. What is the sSpec for the 2.3ghz?


edit:

I don't know off the top of my head. They were used in a funky 4 blade unit shaped like a normal tower..
I even called the company to see if they had any left..:D
Let me see if I can find a link to it.

That is weird. According to the intel processor sSpec finder, there is no 2.33ghz intel xeon lv.

http://processorfinder.intel.com/Lis...528&SearchKey=

Filter by package: Micro-FCPGA

:confused:


edit: nvm, SL9HM did not come up in that list as well, so i guess there are 2.33ghz sammys.

The more I think on it that 2.33 they mention in the PDF probably is a merom and not a sossaman..
Those would be interesting as they are 4mb cache and 800fsb native and 64 bit OS capable..

Well, the specs listed under "NEXXUS 4820-BB" are exactly described as a sossaman. On the other hand, under "NEXXUS 4820-AL", they listed the model of the Xeon LV processor which is 64bit capable.


Hmmm, one thing caught my attention is under "NEXXUS 4820-BB", they listed the 2.33ghz sossaman is 32gb and up to 64gb memory capable. Don't you think for a 32bit processor would be able to use 64gb of ram?

The 5148 cpu's they list for that are the low voltage woodcrests, like the orginal C2D's..E6600's
It's a cluster server so interlinked it could use that much memory.. It's like a baby Cray in some ways..
16 sammys interconnected would have some interesting computing power and in that case would be decent..
Time for bed and congrats on your find..
You can PM me how much you stole it for!:D

Is your 2160 sammy going to get mixed up in one of those pairs? :hrhr:

I'm working on a case design for my sammys. Would be much easier if I could use one PSU to run both of them. Has anyone done this before? If I split the 24 pin between the two boards, and I hit the power button of one, would both come on together? If I tell one to shut down, does it shut both down or just end up restarting the one, or....? How would this work? Does anyone know? :shrug:

I wouldn't.. Go to newegg and get the Corsair 400w PSU..
Excellent and to be honest, perfect for a sammy rig..

Well I have two PSUs, that's not the issue. Just that the box size is perfect to fit both sammies in and a single 500W PSU. I can shove both PSUs in there, just thought maybe one would make things potentially easier.

I never liked the idea of putting two systems on one PSU even if it was a big one.. Just doesn't seem the smart way to go and leaves you open to losing 2 systems if something nasty happens.

How true.

I'll just shoehorn both PSUs in this box then :D

There are howto's with C2D based systems on the internet. I've seen one and it should work. I'd have a look around at google. 2 Sammys would be fine on any PSU, it would only be 200W maximum.

Ran into an snag. Everything was fitting perfectly in this box until I realized I need a spot to put the hard drives. With one PSU there would be enough room for the drives but with two PSUs it is a struggle. If only this was about 2 inches taller...

I did a google, Looky I found CyberDruid posting how to do it - with the power up questions I had answered! :D
