Yeah the HR-01 X are a biatch to install.. but the 3U's are quite ok, especially since you can mount them outside the case with the X7DCA-L.

use 2nd and 4th slot from the top when board is in a caseOriginally Posted by gongo
So sorry to hear that.
I've got Sammy2 most of the way assembled, but I'm having memory problems after all...
The thing is, it's not consistent about which dimm it likes? It always seems to enable dimm 1b, then sometimes it brings 1a online, but disables it on next boot. This is very frustrating, especially since I've shuffled around all the dimms through the first few slots to try it out.
Anyway, time for sleep, maybe tomorrow it'll work?
DDR2-400 ECC REG is a must here.

It's not a bad dealthat's where I got my 3
That's the place and do NOT buy these if you have or are going to get the Intel board..
These are for the SM and Tyan boards and are totally different:

Trust me people, I will crunch 24/7 with a Sossaman rig if you can find me a pair of CPU's!
That is the only thing stopping me from getting a Sossaman rig. I can get the board @ $19 + shipping to the UK, I can get memory/GFX/PSU, etc.
Its those damn CPU's, I swear they are like gold dust!
yes, VERY picky with memory.. Wes got some DDR2-533 ECC reg to work but I grabbed some and it wouldn't.This board is EXTREMELY picky about which dimms it likes... it only takes 1 matched pair of 2x 2gb, the other matched pairs that have higher or lower batch numbers do not work
Being able to only use 4gb out of 16gb is really frustrating, especially since I know these are good chips that were working in Sammy1. Looking at the validated memory list, it seems that a good portion of the 2gb chips tested were dual rank, but you would think that single rank dimms would be more compatible, not less
I'll probably swap some 1gb chips out of Sammy1 to try, but it'll take time since Sammy1 is in Utah now. blah.
Anyone using single rank 2gb dimms with the Intel board?
Thats why I always tell people to stick with that Kingston DDR2-400 ECC REG fromm the egg for $36.00 for 2 gig..
Not many people are using as much mem as you are.

So in the end what is best for Crunching-the cpu or the amount of memory? I know everything all together helps in the grand scheme of things, but what helps you get the most work units per day?
So long as you have ENOUGH RAM, it's the CPU that's the bottle-neck. An excess of RAM doesn't make any real difference to crunching times.

That is my plan for a sammy rig also.

Anyone find more stuff on eBay. I may just jump on these... considering the price of a system is equal to a single i7 chip, muchless the RAM and board!

Would that be the right heatsink for the Intel board? I am getting ready to start ordeing parts.

Yes, BUT that place is VERY high on what they charge for shipping.. First time I bought there they charged me $25.00 to ship two of them.
I'm going there next week to get 6 for CaptMorgan, if you want some let me know and I'll grab and ship to you..
MUCH cheaper this way..
