    Pretty funny. Thats why there is now a 1000+ node, 24TB, 8000 core, 70Tfl Windows HPC cluster into the TOP500? Or why SQL Server is running on 192 cores on Windows Server 2008 R2 right now? Please think before you speak. I myself only have a lowly 8 core system with 12GB RAM, but I assure you...

    Yep..those NDA's do suck. However, just think of the Intel Tick/Tock product plan. Westmere (hex core) is the "tock" for dual socket. The followon will be what you are looking for..albeit with significant architectural changes that will require a new socket, and a new chipset. Note that there is...

    NF200 doesn't "add lanes". Its nothing more than a glorified PCI-E switch. Tylersburg is limited to 36 total PCI-E lanes, period. NF200 essentially takes a PCI-E x16 link, and splits it in two. Your cards each get an x16 connection and link, but your total bandwidth out will never exceed the...

    LSI New megaraid cards

    First - depends on workload. For anything but single threaded video serving though, I can agree. Remember that multiple sequential streams are essentially a random workload. Two - This is old, outdated advice. Starting with Windows 2003, and continuing with 2008 and R2, Windows does excellent...

    Looking for a mini/micro server case

    Looks very nice. Sorry to say though, I have never bent sheet metal, which I think is required for that mod.... How hard was it Teedoff? is cutting metal required? Don't really need hot swap, I just need to be able to cram 5 drives into an SFF formfactor for a Windows Home Server (no RAID...

    Looking for a mini/micro server case

    I seem to be having a really hard time finding this. Essentially, I'm looking for an SFF case with THREE 5.25 external bays. No 3.5 required. Ideally would take a Flex-ATX, mini-itx, etc motherboard. A similar formfactor to a ReadyNAS NV would be great, I just need a real motherboard in...

    Xeon-LV in SFF form factor?

    Dillusion, Where did you see that MATX Asus server board? I have a number of slow 2ghz woodcrests that would be a great fit there...but I can't find that board anywhere on their website.

    Xeon-LV in SFF form factor?

    These are Xeon versions of the Core Duo (aka Yonah) laptop cpus. In theory, should work in a socket 479 board...in theory.... The supermicro board looks good, but at $300, its a non starter. I already have the mother of all workstations (dual 5160 woodcrest) so...I just wanted to build a...

    What’s Inside Windows Home Server

    Well..since I'm actually *running* it...a few comments It will be available, like other "OEM" versions of the OS Hardware RAID is fully support. WHS will just see it as a single drive. In addition, WHS performs essentially a fancy version of volume expansion and duplication in software. Better...

    Xeon-LV in SFF form factor?

    I have a pair of Sossamon (Xeon-LV socket 479) CPUs that I would love to use for an SFF server (for Windows Home Server). Any idea if there is an micro-ATX system board that will take one or both of these? I see ASUS has an NCH-DL socket 479 board, but nobody seems to know if it will take this...
