Aaron, I just ordered a supermicro X5DP8 board (and chassis, the 6023P-8R server combo) that I'll put two 2.4 Xeons and 512 megs of ram into. It uses the E7501 chipset, so I'd say it's comperable to the SE7501WV2. Check with me in a month and I'll tell you how it does. :) > On Thu, 11 Sep 2003 13:36:35 -0400 (EDT), "Yaoping Ruan" > said: > > > We plan to install FreeBSD on an Intel Server Board SE7501WV2 with 1 XEON > > 2.4GHz CPU, 4GB PC2100 DDR memory, and a Seagate 120GB ATA 7200RPM Of the original poster, though, I have to ask: Why use a Xeon server with only 1 processor? Is the larger cache that important in your application? ...david --- david raistrick drais@atlasta.net http://www.expita.com/nomime.html
