I think I've just stumbled upon something interesting..

http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?W...source=froogle

Could someone confirm if these are or not the same blocks that the 'Intel ABBHEATSINKS' use?

They look exactly the same :shrug:

No can do, they're made but no official specs or release papers from them. Only small group knows about them including us now and Dave.

Well there's THESE which seem to be rarer than rocking horse ... shavings, here's the 2.6 Meroms I THINK Dave is referring to: LINKIE

Nope,
they are Meroms
SP.

That second link is to some dual core processors, not singles.

Core Duo T7800
are not the correct versions
these are pin incompatible.

Highly doubt that would work since it specifically says it's for socket 771. They look identical from the top to the heatsinks most of us are using, but it probably doesn't have the little step to compensate for socket M sitting a few MM lower than typical 771.

I've used the CA106 chip on previous linux builds and I know it works so I was a little surprised to have the problem, unless maybe my card has gone defective, which is possible since I didn't have any other PCI cards handy to test in the slot.
:shrug:

The USB sound card I've got right now is working well for now anyway, so I'm not overly worried, though more USB ports would be a welcome addition to my Sossaman daily driver.

Dave has a pci raid controller plugged in

Where are u Dave!

Yeah, this is a must.

hmm Dave, care to chime in on what exactly you're asking intel for? how did you know about these if there are no published specs?

Sure will!

Specs were actually listed on intel website via datasheets. They have been removed.

Even just the jump from 2.0 GHz to 2.33 GHz would be great. Of course, 64-bit would be MIND-BLOWING. :D

Or, at the very least, help from Intel on OC'ing these chips to 2.4 GHz.
So, to sum up...
we want m0ar speed!
:rofl:

personally - I'd take a hit in mhz just to have 64bit support :yepp:

I just want 1 working !

If I don't get a board soon. I'm not looking for any more modfications!

are you sure its with two 1.4ghz? i don't there is any.

These guys seem to have a few Sossaman systems that they've been selling off one at a time for a while now. Usually they go for 75USD + shipping, so I'd wait or send a message to maven_technologies and see when they'll have more in stock.

The f**k? 1.4GHz sammys?

i don't wannna threadjack from this sossaman build, but how does this AMD build compare:

- K8N-DRE-2GBL-PB $19
- 2 AMD Opteron 270 Dual-Core 2GHz CPU Processor S-940 + $40

how do memory prices of ECC DDR compare to ECC DDR2? and what i'm really interested in is total power consumption and point output, but it looks like this platform will lose to sossaman? according to wikipedia, each apteron 270 chip sucks up 95w? that's nearly triple what the intel chip needs.

Too much power comsumption 2-3x and much slower than dual sossaman (2.4GHz Q600 would be equal).

anyone running a rig with a 4-pin CPU power connector instead of 8-pin?
