What is a good dual Xeon board?and other questions about xeons

[Nobody]

Hi, I am trying to find a good dual Xeon board that supports socket 603, and doesn't have to have ECC ram. Does anyone know of any?

Thank you

I've seen a few, but they're hard to find, and they ain't cheap. Here's one:

I'll keep looking.

The socket 604 boards will also support the 603 chips, just not the other way around.


I am running a Asus NCCH-DL board that uses regular ram as it has a 875 northbridge chip.

Go to www.ewiz.com cost around $240

listen to him, cause I kept looking for 603's and they only get more spendy. Plus 604 seems to have more options and better support (which make sense after what marlin said)

I have another question for you guys.... Are single Xeon boards any cheaper than dual boards? And if so what kind do you guys recomend?

Thank you guys for your replys and the ones to come

Why run a Single Xeon board? Xeons are just P4's for the most part.

If you can;t run dual Xeons then run a single P4 or Athlon64

Well I am trying to find a server that can handle the game I am hosting on it. It is nwn and its on a p4 2.4 and its running at full load almost 24/7 and I want to find something that will help it a bit.

What is slowing it down? CPU power, ram, etc...?

I would think a socket 939 Athlon64 would handle that better then a single Xeon?

And what is the World?

the world that I am hosting is 24/7 Zombieland, but i am pretty sure its the processor thats slowing it down, and i already have two xeons... just trying to figure out which would be cheaper a dual or single processor board.
