It's clear to me that NVMe support in the motherboard BIOS is required to boot from the Intel 750. Can I use it as a non-boot drive in a motherboard whose BIOS lacks NVMe support? I'm wondering if I can use it on my Asus Z9PE-D8 WS motherboard with a pair of Xeons.

Intel Core i7-920 (retail, C0 stepping), with Noctua NH-U12P (w/ two fans, it's currently $75 brand new on newegg, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608014). I ran this CPU at 3.6 GHz with this cooler. Afterwards I lapped it and used the newer Noctua NH-D14 to run it at...

http://www.2cpu.com/contentteller.php?ct=articles&action=pages&page=118.html (The article title could be, "want want want want ...") So who's getting some of these? It seems that whenever a new Xeon chip comes out that it takes forever to actually find it for purchase. I've got a single i7-920...

I looked and looked and couldn't find a good answer ... so I'm putting up a new post. I just put together a new system (see sig) and got two of these for my memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145560 Now I know that the stock values are listed as...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16819103540 $1,120 The 4200's are there too at $599, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103543

I want an X2 4800+ and it looks like Monarch is taking pre-orders and the price is about what I was expecting. Has anyone else had much experience with pre-ordering CPU's from Monarch?

So is anyone else running the new, final release of 64-bit Windows yet? I've found it's a bit snappier, although regular 32-bit shell extensions don't work (or I don't know how to make them work). I also couldn't get my Silicon Image 3114 RAID controller to work, it keeps saying that "the device...

In general, what would it probably take to get an FX-55 running at 3.0 GHz? Are they good overclockers at all or are they pretty close to the limit at stock?

Here's the system I put together about, oh, a month ago: Athlon 64 2800+ (S754) Asus K8N-E Deluxe Antec Sonata case 80GB Seagate SATA 512MB Kingston DDR400 memory GeForceFX 5200 128MB (got it for the DVI) Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition (got a copy through MSDNAA at school awhile back)...

So the Pentium 4 "F" chips are available that support 64-bit ... you can buy a single processor workstation from Dell right now with one of them. In fact, one of my coworkers has one of them that he uses for testing purposes. But the real question is, where can I buy just the chip? Can't find...

Short version: Great monitor, customer support is fine, but damned if they don't have awful quality control. Long version: Bought the monitor at the $719 price about a month ago. Picked it up, plugged it in ... did the "yay" dance everyone does when they get sweet new hardware. A couple...

I've finally finished making my Dual Xeon system (see sig) super quiet. Right now it's about as loud as my XBOX (stock / no mods). So for those who're interested, and don't want to venture into water-cooling territory, here's what I used that helped me make it quiet using just air cooling: 1...

Dual Xeons, baby. 2.8 or 3.06ghz is where the sweet point is for price at the moment. The Opteron is kinda meant to compete with both the Xeons and the Itaniums. The 14x and 24x series are good for workstations, while the 24x and 84x series are good for servers. The Opteron 246 is a good...

I have a nice Dual 3GHz Xeon, but those Opteron systems (246/248 especially) are very appealing. Don't pass them up just because you can't run a 64-bit Windows on them yet! Oh and be sure to check out the forums on 2cpu.com, especially for help on making your system QUIET. The fans that come...

Notice the use of the word "always." Refer to my big long post earlier in the thread for what I think about that. Maybe this is true in some games, but not in all. Unfortunately you can't benchmark all games. Those that you can run benchmarks with (Quake, Unreal, etc) generally would have less...
