    Have you checked post 1?

    Unfortunately I'm having trouble finding a HDD to install on. IDE won't work because the mobo has no IDE and there are no 64bit drivers for the Promise Ultra100TX2 IDE card.
    And for some stupid reason, Server 08 won't take the TX2650's driver (for the SAS disk).

    Awesome. Can't wait for you to get an HDD in this thing to see how it performs.

    IDK if anyone posted this before, but the second "4" was for 4 PCI-E x16 slots, iirc. The idea was 4 graphics cards and four cores.

    Ahhh... right. I knew there was something more to the idea.. been such a long time ago. Still, it was a bad one, and the concept utterly failed, so i stand by my "True 4x4" platform

    Which, by the way, I am having trouble finding the right OS for. I thought XSOS would work since it's based on Server 08, but somehow it doesn't. Only shows 2 CPUs/8 threads in taskmgr, CPU-Z and that summary screen. However 16 cores are installed in device manager, and the bios recognizes all cores as well. Also all 4 GB of ram are working which also means all 4 CPus must be active (since it's 1GB per CPU IMC).

    I've had enough computer time for today to almost make my eyes go squared anyways, so I'll go and fetch some Server 03 or Server 08 distro tomorrow to try again. No real use running any benches with just 2 CPUs...

    Yeah, grab a Server 03/08 disc. If you're a student in the USA, you can download it and get a free key for them. Oh and I like and agree with your "true 4x4" statement. The only thing AMD did what that old platform was fail miserably. They would have been better off gluing two Brisbanes together and dealing with communications over the HT bus. They literally lost millions because of marketing stupidity. And 4x4 was even worse; now you HAVE to communicate thru HT plus the motherboard was a failure.

    i believe they fixed that with istanbul(or at least improved it). if you want to talk about poor scaling than we can talk about core 2.

    take the necessary time to do your work but be aware that you must have people in most continents anxious to see your results .. the 4x4 has been that repetitive idea you canīt wipe off in my head for a while now

    some guys at 2cpu provided some info that might be useful :

    hehe my rig eating around 700 w to 800 w in full load but with hungry barcelonas :-) mobo tyan s4895-e cpus 4x2200mhz12 gb of ddr2 no more special ..

    Well, it's a good thing I bought the Opteron HE then, at least the little Enermax seems to be able to hold the rig fine.

    After a lot of trouble getting Win Server 08 to finally accept the freaking SAS Controller, here it is...



    Now all I need is a way to OC those. PLL is the ICS8731CY01L, that whole series seems unsupported by SetFSB (only ICS9xxx), so I am at a loss for now.. downloading NV system tools ATM lol. Particle?

    You have an MSN, AIM, ICQ, or Yahoo account? IM would be a lot better for this kind of work.
    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.

    PM sent.. mind the time difference tho. Seems like it crunched through the night fine, with the coolers just resting on top of the CPUs
