I imagine everyone has 775/939/am2 already, heh.
Which is what I think he was referring to.penguincomp said:That's not quad cores...that's for a dual opty single core.
CyberDeus-RagDoll said:I'd rather buy the cpu's from the egg for $8 more with 3 year warranty, and HS&F
but yes, it's a hot config for the money
Problem is...
the 265s you link are NOT listed as supported by the case/mobo in the 2nd link
I'd find it hot, if it would actually function.
But, I see no evidence "proving" it to me that this configuration would even boot.
Which is what I think he was referring to.
This system @ geeks supports dual SOCKET, single core processors.
No DUAL core processors are listed.
All the prices are good. It's just the configuration that is erroneous.

vbrtrmn said:I don't think Windows XP Pro supports 4 cpus .. if you're running Windows Server, sure, but XP Pro, you're just paying extra $$ for no real extra performance over dual processors.
I'd consider going that way if I was building out a nice Linux or OpenBSD box.
Correct me if I'm wrong about XP Pro, please.
as for that, I stand corrected. Nothing on the product pages that I could find stated that it supported dual core cpus. I hear mention of a "bios update", but, all of the official iwill sites seem to be offline (are they out of business?, a shame, since I own two iwill mini-pcs)robstar said:Actually, it should function fine.

Socrilles17 said:This setup definitely is dual core capable (some1 did it over at 2cpu.com). Howver if you are looking for performance an e6600 with a good mobo is a much better option. Remember powereing 2 dual-core processors is going to take a lot of the small PSU in the ZDmaxdp which will limit the video card you can install with it. I've been keeping my eyes on the ZDmaxdp and ebay hoping to score some 265's for some where close to $100 each, anything more than that and the setup is going be more headaches then can be justified for the price. Note that the OC features of the zdmaxdp are not that great and e6600's can be OCed to 3.6 ghz pretty regularly with decent cooling and run faster clock for clock 1.8 ghz * 4 = 7.2 ghz (for the 265) and 3.6 *2 = 7.2 ghz (for the OCed e6600)
I believe the thing has an AGP slot, not pci-express. So.. uhm. Your not going to be putting an 8800GTX in it anyhow. But, then again, as I said, this is a SERVER box. Who uses dual 940 opterons for "power gaming" - I'm sure I have enough fingers and toes to count the number of games that could make use of a 4 core availability. Maybe farcry?which will limit the video card you can install with it.

drizzt81 said:Microsoft says that a CPU is a physical CPU. XP Pro supports 2 Physical CPUs, i.e. up to 8 'real' cores at the moment (dual quad-core Xeons).
