Xtreme X.I.P.
There's some potential I would imagine. It is even an HT3 capable board, and that's fairly new for Socket F.
For clarification, I'm using ECC registered DDR2-800 memory already. I just need more of it before I can confirm if the board is bad or the second CPU is a memory issue. The manual states that with 2 CPUs, two DIMMs are required on CPU1. I only have two DIMMs total right now--I thought I could use 1 DIMM on each (minimum required to run in case it didn't work with unregistered, non-ECC memory that I wanted to test against it). However, it may be the case that 2 DIMMs are required on CPU1 -and- memory must be present on CPU2 before it will initialize. As such, I need more memory before I can test that theory.
Cinebench was ran on a very much not fresh install of Windows Server 2008 x64 with Arma II open in the background. At 2500MHz though, it's still not a bad score. Some tweaking is still required, however, since at 2200MHz I scored virtually the same.
Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Rule 1A:
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Rule 3:
When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
Random Tip o' the Whatever
You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
