check that monster out
one think i would say is it needs a high end scsi adaptor sata 10k drives no thanks, u320 please i like 15k drives
If i had 4 in a rack i would have 64 cores of POWER

4kw of a socket lolol


have to sell load sot get it Bikes, Cars ect

Dave the price for Cat is 4 of them

[Bootup05]

Wow

Imagine getting 4 3GHz Clover's and putting them in there with some compatible boards.

55,000+ PPD anyone?

How much they cost?

Dave said that 2 could be around 33, wow...o_O so thats 66k per day!!!! holy cow 60k+ in 1U thats INSANE

*stops dreaming and comes back to reality*

That puts any C2D, or even C2E to shame

Now you've given alacusa another idea!

I think you shouldn't have said that... Dave often gets extraordinary stuff from anywhere

[Jaco]

I can't believe how small that motherboard is
2 clovers and all those fbdimms

looks really expensive

[-Acid-]

6 of them would beat DDtungs output per day

Unfortunately it's a 1U server, so you'd be very limited as far as cooling options. Also, it's really a PITA to work in cramped spaces. I like the set-up below better. New Caneland MP server (beta version). 16-cores, high speed interconnects (no more FSB bottleneck), big and lots of room inside.

[phelan1777]

i will take ten.

[[XC] gomeler]

That's huge sierra_bound, enormous even. Look at that FBDIMM riser card! I love server stuff, always fun to look at.

[sierra_bound]

That was just the back half of the server.

[alucasa]

Indeed.

[[XC] gomeler]

Interesting.. I'd still take lots and lots of Kenties instead of those Clovertons. Can't imagine the cost those procs would cost being 4-way..

[Vapor]

Two separate nodes in that 1U rack....no need for MP Clovers, just DP Clovers (is there even a difference?)

[[XC] gomeler]

Oh doh, forgot about that, dual node. I'd say there is a difference as the old Nocona Xeon's had 1P, 2P, and MP flavors. Same goes with opterons.

[alucasa]

I will be building a 8 core rig but it will be a two-month project.

This is my 8-U rack in my room. I am in progress of terminating the 12-U rack in basement due to power bills.



The quadFX is residing in the bottom 4-U chassis. That chassis will be replaced with two 2-U cases : which will be used to house quadfx and clover.

The top one is Yonah 2500 even through it has an AMD sticker. It used to contain Brisbane.

Deal!( makes calls to SM for samples) Cat takes next shuttle to Mars when she hears what Acid did!

Maybe 45K a day from that rig. I think you'd be pressed to go beyond 2.667 in it if that high. A lot of heat to deal with.

Just lucky here and there and some good people that decided to help me out.
I won't name them but I hope they know I appreciate what they've done.
Two in particular and you two know who I mean. Thanks for all you've done.

maybe 10 and thats right this second..Maybe 12-14 by the end of the month.
He is growing FAST!

I think a clover would do a 8 way system if there was a board for it.

Oh doh, forgot about that, dual node. I'd say there is a difference as the old Nocona Xeon's had 1P, 2P, and MP flavors. Same goes with opterons.

Yea, old xeons were DP(dual processor) and MP(Multi Processor, for 4 or 8 way servers)

Glad to hear it..LV clovers I assume? That is looking to be the smart way to go.

I was almost tempered to make a statement that real men use sever hardware Yes, yes, I know that it is a stupid and childish statement.

No, just a perspective based on how you use the machine.
If I was also into gaming I'd be doing a conroe or Kents as that is the best for that usage.
I just got interested in dual socket back when all cpu's were single core and the duals were so much smoother. Just old habits that are hard to change.
I also like the quality that you get in the server boards. They just plain last and don't break.
Sitting in the other room is a 1997 SM S2DGU MB with 2-700/2mb/100 P3 xeons in it. retired now but it ran 24/7 most of 2006 on Rosetta doing it's 450 points a day and serving as a ftp server.
That's a 10 year old board thats still good and usable..and Overclocks!
I think the last SM board that did.

A fine example of a joke that didn't work out.

Dave.... have you got a kill-o-watt? Will someone who has a dual clovertown measure the wattage please? I'd like to compare it clock vs clock with a Kent setup. We'll use the same program WCG, ORTHOS whatever....

I'll order one..but I'd guess a solid 450...Lets see how close I come.

Right.... I've tested Kent full 100% load at about 220W. Would be interesting which is the more economical. Tell me when it gets in.
