Quad processor board...

Is this for-real or a Photoshop touchup...supposed to use 4 Xeon processors... http://b.PostMyPic.com/b.nsf/Z/MBresizeWWHU/$file/MBresize.jpg

i don't see why not
i know people with 8 processor xeon systems...
the game server i play on haas 4 xeon cpus...

[thekingofpain]

Hmmm...learn something everyday...8 Xeons?, Wow thats something...

IBM makes servers that take 24 processors, then there's SUN systems, and I understand they actually have a 64 processor server out there.....

8 processors is small change - being able to AFFORD 24 processors - now that's the real trick...... Then there's the operating system - I'm not sure, but I think that microsoft products are very limited in processor count I've not heard of it handling more than 8 but I could be wrong ( isn't something I need to look up - lack of $$$ ;-)) - you'd actually have to go with UNIX or AIX for the big stuff I mentioned up above - OOPS - sorry - Sun doesn't do "UNIX" - they have the Solaris OS ( UNIX renamed by sun marketing dept - what a crock!)

Thats a level of computing I cant compute! http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Hey Axel,

If ya read Sysopt's review on windows ME, you'll see that windows 2000 supports, I believe, up to 32 cpu's.

I'm not sure though, but it is somewhere around that number.

Win 2k Datacenter will support up to 32 processors and 64GB of memory: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/datacenter/default.asp

Can't just go down to CompUSA and pick up a shrink-wrapped copy though - Advanced Server costs $4k and Datacenter is likely going to cost *ALOT* more than that!

It is the Supermicro S2QF6.

Full mobo spec found here (http://www.supermicro.com/PRODUCT/MotherBoards/RCC_HE/S2QE6.htm)

speaking of multi cpu systems....i also play on a nother game server..a proliant 8500 with 8 p3 xeon 2mb cache chips and 4 gigs of ram...it runs from his aparmtent...talk about power at home...

[skywalker[TSG]]

DOES HE RUN RC5 !!!!!

he has to
otherwise its a waste of 100k+$$$

After the 6 PCI slots, there is a black slot that looks like an AGP slot. That's a memory riser card.
On the memory riser card, you have several DIMMS slots (one of our dell PE6300 has 16 dimms slots).
You then plug the dimms on the riser and plug the riser on the mobo ! simple !

Yeah, 8 PIII Xeon's definetely would be nice...

You just might be happy with the possible FPS.. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif

WTF?

Where do you put the ram on that motherboard?

[neo_otyugh]

none of the guys that have those servers run rc5 afaik, i think they all do webhosting at home or run businesses. they are all in their early 20's..and if they can afford tta kind of computing power they got to be doing somehting right
