AFAIK the PSU for the XBOX 360 and HD-DVD Add-on is external, and somehow I have to try to hide them. Can I attach both the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray drive to the mediacenter in the office, and stream that to my XBOX 360. And what wireless options do I have for the XBOX 360 ?

I have just purchased a Sony 52X2000 TV and I am waiting for the PS3 to be released in Europe. I want to hook up the PS3 to the TV via the HDMI port and watch DVD/Blu-Ray movies and play games. The TV has a power cable and coaxial TV cable connected to it and the PS3 just has a power cable...

And I need PCI-X for a SAS controller

which 939 motherboards supports all these things : PCI-E (i don't need SLI) PCI-X 133 mhz SATA 2 RAID X2 support Please help me find my new motherboard

I agree it is annoying, however this market economy and if we can scrap our 4 way servers with one 4-core server and pay only 1/4 in license fee, we will. I don't think the software suppliers are going to accept this - thus paying per core will remain ...... at least for now. It still...

The difference between 1 DC and 2 DC is very small ....... could it be that the tests don't really test the potential of SMP ? And if this is the case can you trust the testresults including the test between 2 SC and 1 DC ?

actually all our servers have minimum 2 sockets, however a lot of our server software are priced per core ......... You don't pay extra for HT

A lot of companies are focusing on license cost - and if license terms don't change, then companies wont replace SC with DC CPU's. I think in the long run that license terms have to change - perhaps it was smarter for Intel to focus on DC desktop CPU's first and then server CPU's. There...

Duvie ......... you don't think many companies are going to buy DC Opterons for desktop PC's. Some companies will buy DC Opterons for servers, but if license terms stay the same they will not replace 2 SC servers with 2 DC servers. Do you have any idea how expensive server software is ?

The next time I buy a new server, should I buy a server with 1 DC or 2 SC. (Forget the price of the CPU) I just want to know which one is faster

I am not worried about home users ..... mostly they dont pay for their licenses anyway. But from a business perspective ....... if we could get DC CPU's for our servers, we would NOT take 2 CPU's out and replace them with 2 DC ........ the software is too expensive. So I dont see us buying...

I looked into the licensing terms from Microsoft at work today ......... and indeed ........ Microsoft are the good guys in the class. I can't believe it ........... when everybody have changed their SC to DC I am sure Microsoft will charge per core ........

IBM is charging per core that is active and available, not per chip example http://www.lotus.com/products/product4.nsf/wdocs/notesdominolicensingfaq

As dual core CPU's are comming out soon - I checked IBM's licensing terms ..... You have to pay a 2 Processors license for each DC CPU you add to your server :( Imagine a world with only DC processors, then you would have to pay minimum 2 licenses for each server. I am sure Microsoft...

But I am waiting for the support of Sata II PCI-X 133 PCI-E 16 I don't need SLI or any fancy overclocking features. I have the feeling that I have to wait forever :(
