Yes, movieman is trying to get ASUS to release a modded BIOS to the public. So far he's not making too much progress. ASUS is working on it though, I believe.Quote:

That's not what I said.Quote:

I don't know anyone inside Asus with the power to get that done or I'd have called and asked..
Tbh....it may seem ignored.....but i assure you it's not.Quote:

That is the point; finding out.
Not a reason for anger on anyones part and honestly, I can't see any downside to AMD.
You better hide or that last birthday you just celebrated will be just that..Your last!:rofl:Quote:

Hardware mods ensures no overclocking can be performed in a server operating environment, just by enthuthiasts. But the bios mods didn't happen overnight, it took quite some time.
Another good enthuthiast board was DH-800 (xeon) from Iwill (now defunct). Iwill also released DK8N which allows Opteron overclocking. Both boards were a hit back then, but Asus PC-DL was cheap and popular.
Your close but the Asus PC-DL was excellent because for $200.00 new you could buy the board, scrounge up apair of 1600/512/400 D1,xeons pin mod the socket( u shaped wire stuck into 2 sockets and bingo: 3200/512/800 ifI remember right.Quote:

Hell, he ran those on DC work and had them to such a fine pitch he was out doing my 3year newer Irwindale dualie..:D
OT but back in 2004 Isold almost 100 of those 1600 D1's on ebay for $70.00/each before I knew how much they were worth!
They were going for double what I was selling them for.:rofl:
Well, if AMD don't want to step up to the plate and increase their competitiveness, what can you do apart from choose the other team that gives you what you want? :shrug:Quote:

Yes,Gigabyte does make a excellent board but Asus has the board out right now that will work with the right bios and from what I've seen so far working with it the last month it is an excellent board..Quote:

That board could potentially support 4-way crossfire, Quad Channel DDR3 and 24 overclocked cores if a desktop board *whistles* /facepalm
Ah, that explains it then :D
ED - beepbeep, wheres those results you were gonna do? :p:
I'd be more worried about them if they were trying to compete in a market that would gain them nothing. Besides, it isn't like Intel invented and markets the SR-2.Quote:

Results?Quote:

The RAM, or 4850/5770?
Realistically just 2 vid cards,read the specsQuote:

If Intel had sold an extra 20% xeons because of the SR2 board EVGA would have to build another plant to produce the boards..
Just a guess but I'd think that if EVGA hits 10,000 board sales they will be thrilled, thats 20,000 cpu's..
Think on the millions Intel sells yearly..:D
Both :D If you think your confused now.. give it another few years. I had a friend yelling at me via text just because she disapproves of me visiting a strip club for a hour or two on my birthday lol.Quote:

The SR-2 makes a Xeon almost look as consumer orientated as a Core2 or i5/7.Quote:

The only thing we are asking JF-Amd is that if he could help us contact some bios developping team to have atleast a contact at supermicro/tyan/asus... so then we can work it out for some beta bios.
