For the cost of the WS Pro I'd be looking into an X48
board instead. My new system
runs real nice with a Q6600 on a DDR2 Asus Rampage.
Did not see the benefit of paying
triple for DDR3 memory.
No OCing as of yet but it sure runs Crysis nice!
I dunno. Some of the older servers under my control could be upgraded--but
we won't spend the time or money to do it when the more logical solution is
replace the entire server. I think if a business is so cash strapped that
they can't replace an old, overloaded, likely out-of-warranty box with
I imagine we'll have a more firm date soon, but it's definitely in
Q3. It
was just today the price (at $530) was confirmed.
That would work out well for me is this DDR2 supported CPU? If

Yes, the non EE's are clock locked. That does provide some value, but (1)
from what I gather, you don't do overclocking
I don't because FSB overclocking puts a stress on the entire system
for not much real world needed gain. And I keep my systems much
longer then you do. However, if I can j

Certainly, that was your implication.
Although video encoding is one of the places those extra general

Curious though, what is it you have that isn't supported?
Well, right now, the only CPU I have that will support it is a
Semperon64 3400, in a third box that I put together because I was
curous about AMD. A CPU I am not fond of, on a Nivida Chipset where

Personally I'd step back to the Asus P5K-E/Wifi-AP for the mainboard
(P35 chipset) and a Q9450 (2.66 45nm quad) as the price performance
climbs hugely.

Agree o
P45 boards mostly come equipped with the newer ICH10R
southbridge though...
when it comes to motherboards I am more interested in proven
stability then I am in performance. I am always leery about trying
something new in boards as it rarely works out well.

I am planning a new build for my Media box this summer when I get
