Intel SLI boards

[kd2777]

When are the Intel SLI boards coming out? I have heard a lot about the NVIDIA SLIs but the Intel?s don't have any news out.

the reason I asked is I saw an Alienware on their site just a few moments ago with dual Xeons and dual 6800s, that seems amazing to me. The though of dual Xeons and a couple of 6800GTs is where I would like to be, 1700 bucks from now. Any way does anyone know if you can buy the Dual Xeon board, and who makes it? Second am I correct in thinking that if I can get hold of the board, it can be run with one Xeon and one 6800GT until funds allow for their mates.

Just a matter of time

. YA dual 3.8 Xeons with SLI thats know news to me. But with nvidia that blows me over. White papers said nothing about that. YA 05 Intel back in the drivers sit. Ya got to LOVE iTTTTTTTT !!!!!!!!!!!! . EAT CROW SUCKERS some are informed others are not! research that.

Could you put the pom poms down for 5 minutes? :disgust:

HAY you tell me why I should I was called a liar a TRoll alot ot routin things said by uninformed NOOBS

 

[Dug]

Doesn't change the fact that you're a troll, you can't complete a sentence, and you can't spell.

 

[Zinn2b]

ALL those things you said are true except I am know troll, I was defending the truth and I well always defend the truth.I am also well informed and I build really fast computers.

Hey, we don't have to attack Zinn2b's grammar. That's unsporting. Let's attack his ideas instead!

ATTN: Zinn2b
You are a fool. Thank you.

How about those AMD people they just won't let go .Intel is King they were never dethroned period the Amd FX has already been tested with SLI and actually did Quit well but they came up short. and some here suggested that you can't compare a FX 55 to a Xeon I don't know why isn't a FX55 really an opty. INTEL THEY JUST KEEP COMING AT YOU

Huh?? an FX-55 should kill a xeon in gaming, especially when nForce 4 is available!

i never knew your ass can talk. even so, all i keep hearing is sh!t. BS n00b. lying is a sin, which means no for you

 

[ZobarStyl]

No, you are not informed. You claim one bad benchmark (no one uses PCMark) makes your PC's "fast" then say that all the reviewers on every website who have shown AMD products to have taken a serious overall lead are wrong or lying. You come in here and spout almost unintelligible nonsense but expect us to believe you can put together a fast rig when you haven't made a single post that I could read through once and understand? You have to walk before you run, buddy.

Quick lesson:
No - Used to express refusal, denial, disbelief, emphasis, or disagreement
Know - To perceive directly; grasp in the mind with clarity or certainty

And by the way, post the full specs (brands/mobos/etc.) of one of the rigs you have built for your customers, and we'll know exactly how "fast" your purported creations are.

Edit: I see you edited your post to fix the grammatical errors, but still failed miserably. Hey, at least I can get the basic gist now. Good try at least.

 

[Chadder007]

The benchmarks have shown that SLI isn't that much better at all for performance.

Could you elaborate? In some games it is double the performance of one card....

 

[Zinn2b]

ZobarStyl If you look real hard in the post I have full copy of benchies from 3Dmark 05 3Dmark 03 PCmark 04 with full spec's. All the information you want is there . PLus me clobbering a AMD64 and its full specs in 3Dmark 03 a bench were I am 12 overall the fastest. ALSO when I look at my benchies and I look review benchies I got to wonder where there getting there numbers from.

 

[MrChad]

Wow, Zinn2b's still around?

3DMock is a synthetic bench and the latest version is far more GPU than CPU heavy. Try 2k1se since that at least reveals clockspeed performance much better than 03 or 05. Actual games are the place to gauge how fast you CPU is anyways, AI, audio subsystem, ect come into play that way so you get a true look@what your system is capable of.

 

[Zinn2b]

YA still here got 2 gamers done last nite and am presently loading the soft ware than I have to optimize them.

 

[Zinn2b]

Dapunisher I am well aware of everthing you said to be a fact. But let me ask you this were does hyper threaging enter into the mix. Also what is computer really meant to be used for gaming . If thats the case when Xbox 2 is released couldn't I guy buy one of those and claim the crown because they well surely outgame any PC and they are CPU based. So where exactly do we draw the line. With P4 I can in theory finish up any task FASTER than AMD lets say I have 4 programs doing work at the same time it will happen slower but by the time the operator does everthing needed to do the same work with an AMD the P4 is truely faster because the operators time must be factored in is that not so.

 

[Sunbird]

Zinn2b, please try to use punctuation and paragraphs and check some spelling, I do that and I'm not a first language english speaker. The problem is you keep using words and then misspell them (all the time) and then they sound like other words, like you keep using "know" to say "no" and such.

If your reason is that it slows down your typing, are you sure that its is even worth your time to post anything on here?

Well, considering that most games are singlethreaded, it really doesn't. For singlethreaded programs, HT generally either does nothing, or actually drops performance a small amount.

Uh, stop dodging the question. Put up some benchmarks showing the P4 is faster at gaming (real games, or at least 3DMark01, which is not totally GPU-bound) than AMD's processors, or STFU. XBox2 has nothing to do with this.

With P4 I can in theory finish up any task FASTER than AMD lets say I have 4 programs doing work at the same time it will happen slower but by the time the operator does everthing needed to do the same work with an AMD the P4 is truely faster because the operators time must be factored in is that not so.

1) Run-on sentences are hard to read.

2) WTF did you just say? I think *maybe* you're trying to say that the P4 will let you work more efficiently because HT would make the system more responsive, but I haven't seen anything that really suggests this is the case (anecdotally, several posters here have commented that A64s "feel" faster than P4Cs with HT), or that even if it was, this would make a noticeable difference in overall operator throughput.

 

[DAPUNISHER]

Depends on what you are multitasking since A64 is strong in some multitasking situation while HT can have a negative impact in a few rare cases. Overall HT is definietly a better choice for heavy multitaskers but if you are to the point where productivity is a matter of time=money, you would probably be best served to pony up for a true MP system, making the point moot. The same goes for gaming, there isn't that big a performance difference between platforms to warrant all this pom pom waving bullshat from the AMD guys or you You have a very fast system as do the A64 guys, so just enjoy them and stop trying to measure your e-penises is my advice

So Zinn2b, will these Xbox 2's put out to a CRT computer monitor/ LCD screen? Because the resolution on TV's suck.

Will these Xbox 2's use keyboards and mice as input devices?

Just don't try to make out as if Xbox 2's are the end all of gaming, while they are suited for some game forms (rally) they suck at others (FPS)



/Damn, I'm feeding him and getting of OP's topic


kd2777, nVidia just signed a crosslicensing deal with Intel, and nForce chipset motherboards will be coming to a P4 near you soon, so that means SLI too

 

[Zinn2b]

No I was saying on a p4 I can multitask 4 jobs at the same time .

Supossed to be 3 models with the most expensive being a fully multimedia capable entry-level PC. Even the xbox can do HDTV it is just that the graphics are old school now. I hear HDTV playback is quite good on xbox but I don't have a set to really comment about that.

I know, and I'm saying if that is mission critical tasking then a true MP would do it faster which would increase productivity and thus pay for itself The HT argument is fine from the "I want to back-up or encode my video while playing a game and I only own/can afford one PC" perspective, but trying to make it a must have because of the need for mission critical work is silly when you will get more from a true MP and the cost consideration at that point must be factored with the time=money in the equation. That is my story anyways, and I'm sticking to it

I can do the same thing on my Athlons. Have a .

 

[Sunbird]

to Zinn2b for his reasonably clear post. (NO, I'm not mocking) Glad to see your progressing from those super long single sentence things to this.

I don't like fanboys. A Intel platform can be a good gaming machine if built right, and them Celerons are at least better these days and fine for average PC use. I love my Athlon though too. I just try to give my clients the best I can for their price points.

While a P4 has hyperthreading which can be good when running a couple of threads, AMD has a on-chip memory controller which balances things out in the end. The average gamer wouldn't be able to tell the difference in performance of 2 similarly priced systems with AMD or Intel CPU's and the same graphics processors.

DAPUNISHER, too bad we don't have HDTV's here in South Africa , and where we do have, you pay yourself silly for them, and another thing, Microsoft actually doesn't import xbox to here, you have to go gray imports route. This place is rulled by PS2 for some reason .
