Low cost PCI-X motherboard/CPU

Thanks, Marlin1975, but I'm looking into maximizing the I/O performance. I need a PCI-X running at 66MHz at least. Ok, I think found some more or less affordable good mobo's to start: Tiger i7501(S2723GNN): http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=13-151-117&depa=1 Supermicro X5DPA-GG...

Low cost PCI-X motherboard/CPU

Are there any good MB for Pentium 4 with better bandwidth between the north and south bridges or will I have to go Xeon/Opteron? Do you recommend any mobo in particular? Thanks, Bruno.

Low cost PCI-X motherboard/CPU

Hi Peter, thank you for your reply. Here's the link: http://www.giga-byte.com/Serve...verBoard_GA-8IKHXT.htm And yes, it is based on the 6300ESB south bridge (and the E7210 as north bridge), so I'd have that bottleneck you talk about. However, mobo + CPU would run me about $320. Do...

Low cost PCI-X motherboard/CPU

Hi all, I'm looking into building a new home server that will be doing a bunch of stuff (domain controller, file server, streaming server, web server, caller ID server, etc). I already have a machine doing this right now (the Ahtlon XP 1800+ w/ 512MB RAM is doing just fine) but I plan to add...

Hitachi 250GB Deskstar $109.99 after MIR @ Frys

Yep, saw only two on the shelf at Fry's on Renton, WA. Didn't get them because don't need them right now, but they were $99 each AR. The wierd thing is that if you walked a little bit further up, you'd see a pile of the same drives for like $200, or something like that. Didn't get that. Also...

True. I tried there first but it's OOS already. Then I tried Amazon and got one there. Last time I checked they still had it in stock.

Barton failing on Prime95 even at stock speeds (???) (a.k.a. yet another Barton 2500+ overclock history)

Thanks, MonkeyDriveExpress I'll try and get another CPU to try on this MB. I'd like to make sure the chip is at fault before RMA'ing it. Thanks, Grimner. Unfortunately I'm already using the "By SPD" setting in BIOS. :(

Barton failing on Prime95 even at stock speeds (???) (a.k.a. yet another Barton 2500+ overclock history)

I just realized that while the suggestions from everybody are valid, I think I didn't stressed it enough: I'm receiving errors in Prime95 running my Barton 2500+ at stock speed (1.8GHz) and voltage (1.65v). I don't want to increase the voltage as there should be no need for it as I'm running it...

Barton failing on Prime95 even at stock speeds (???) (a.k.a. yet another Barton 2500+ overclock history)

I tend to agree with you, Duvie. Is Motherboard Monitor good enough to monitor the 5v and 3.3v lines? According to NVidia's system utility, CPU is at 41C at normal load (not idle, not heavy). Don't know about the chipset. System temperature is reported at 34C though. I think these are good...

Thanks for the replies, guys. Yeah, typing definitely is not much of a stress test, Killrose! :) But I've also been running a few games and benchmarks. So far so good. Re: the PSU, I don't know. I didn't have any problems with my old setup that would indicate PSU problems. I might try replacing...

Hi folks, Yes, this is yet another Barton 2500+ history. I recently received a Asus A7NX8-E Deluxe, Althon XP 2500+ Barton retail and 2x 512MB of OCZ PC3200 DDR RAM from Newegg. Put everything in place of my old VIA based EPoX 8-KHA+ and Althon XP 1800+ and everything works like a charm. I...

DEAD - Radeon 9800NPs back @ NewEgg - $243!

Yeah, I understand salsa086. Mine won't be here before Tuesday so I guess I'll just stick around and follow the experiences that you guys will perform with these cards. Thanks,
