exactly, the null. PLUS you're just not in if you're not anti... :rolleyes:

True. Will there be any HT3 enabled motherboards launched alongside Barcelona?

Thanks for the input, APOLLO, I'll check back with ASUS then.

Thanks a bunch, protocol - that did it! saved me a lot of time!

just a quick question: AFAIK the penryn based xeons will require a new mainboard. Is that correct? Or will they be drop-in compatible with current 53xx based xeons mainboards?

ok, a friend of mine bought an ACER 5683 WLMi Notebook, which comes with Vista Home Premium by default. He wants to have XP installed on the machine, though (i couldn't care less, so please don't get into a vista/XP fight). Now the problem is, I cannot make the computer boot from his XP CD...

Thought there might have been a month fixed, as august with barcelona... So Q4 ate best.

I have a couple of questions regarding agenaFX and hope someone can help me out here: Does anyone know if there is a semi-solid release date for these processors (such as august for barcelona)? Secondly, what platform will they be used in? AFAIK the agenafx processors will be the first ones to...

No clue who got it wrong. maybe it was xbits'. Let's just hope they ramp up the clock-speed quickly. To be honest - if the given emulated scores turn out to be true I'll be amazed no matter what, considering the fact that it's pitted against a core2 derivate, which was a massive leap ahead in...

hey visaris, AFAIK it was a simulated Barcelona @ 2.6GHz and not 2.3GHz: http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20070702235635.html "Unfortunately, Barcelona’s test results are “estimated performance” of the chip at 2.60GHz “based on internal AMD emulations&#8221...

great if true. i'll certainly wait for the benchmarks in august before passing a decision. If it does not deliver I'll go xeon 53xx. simple as that.

Thanks for the input, Slartibartfast. SUpermicro boards are pretty much impossible to get in Austria - I've been looking for one before, Tyan was the second choice for me. Are ASUS boards considered to be a viable alternative, or is their reputation in the server space not as good? Will post...

Hi all, I am currently in the process of speccing out my first dual-socket built. That being said - I'd really like to hear what you guys think about it, as I do not have any experience whatsoever when it comes to server/workstation-class components. There will be a total of three machines...

Yeah, just saw this - and was typing while you send the answer ;) Thanks a bunch anyways, catweazle!

Yep, checked what you suggested, too. However, after some deep digging i came up with this: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general&tid=65a522c2-e440-42b9-9b07-a6267bd6945d&m=1&p=1 Aparently, the problem...
