    Dell has problems with Intel Xeon dual core machines

    Yikes (HP's prices) Out of curiousity, what were the specs. on these HP machines? That's also what I do for a living, but for workstations, I'd go to BOXX. For $5900 a piece, I can put this together: http://www.boxxtech.com/products/cf_ste...cfg8190=2446&cfg8193=2446&cfg8194=2446...

    Price cut on X2's?

    I regularily check prices on these "things", X2's, hadn't in a few days but just checked at Monarch. Anyway, a 3800 X2 OEM is down to $314, a 4200 X2 OEM down to $390, etc. That's in their configurators, such as...

    X2 3800+ OC'ed, or X2 4400+ stock ?

    Cache size doesn't help one bit with rendering engines. If that's your purpose, only clock-speed matters with X2's. http://www.gamepc.com/labs/view_content...6554096C2B47D07EC228A468B2CF95CCC78AF8

    Troubles updating memory

    It runs alright, it's running now. It runs slower than it could but as I explained above, it'll go on another motherboard later on, one that'll support it. Prices are basically the same, 2100 or 3200, that's why I buy this.
