you’re still using P5’s? Oh pah-leez. They’re so yester-year! I have quad P12’s. ---

mdipi is joking. Considering dual 30inch lcd’s would cost him about 6000 alone. ---

mdipi has connections. I know one guy who accidentally ran over his cat. Mysteriously, the next day, a rack of servers landed on his head while he was buying a footlong from a small corner street vendor. True story. ---

Wow thats pretty weird considering intel has even publicly announced anything about a pentium 5. Over the next 1.5 years all they will be doing is rolling out new pentium 4s , soon with 1mb cache. I doubt Intel would give a non-employee a chip that they are not releasing for 2-3 years. ---

Um you don’t add the processor speeds together… 2 p4 2.4ghz’s do not = 4.8 ghz. ---

“Um you don’t add the processor speeds together… 2 p4 2.4ghz’s do not = 4.8 ghz.” yes thats true, but the maximum power I can get is about 4.8ghz. Secondly, there is no such thing as dual P4 (: ---

I said I had a dual xeon. Big difference between xeon and P4 ---

xeons are designed for the new intel servers that cost well, alot! :-\ You’re rich I should say! ---

well xeons are not only for servers. They are built mainly for servers, but also perform excellent as a workstation. BTW, You can get xeons cheaper than you think. The only xeons that are expensive are the newest ones like the 3ghz one. I have dual 2.4, so its not as much. ---

as I have heard xeons need more cooling and a high quility board to perform well… I think P4 2gig is much cheaper. ---

yes a P4 2ghz is much cheaper. Well most dual xeon mobos run around 500-700$, while P4 mobos run about 100$. You dont neccessarily need more cooling, just two heatsinks, one for each processor. If you count every fan in my system (including fan on my radeon card, in powersupply, on heatsinks, etc). I have 8. ---

8 wow! I think you should consider a water cooling instead! not cheap but very very cool it’s hot! 🙂 ---

I dont think they make water cooling for xeons. You see I am pretty sure watercooling is only for amd athlon XP or pentium 4. If you buy a heatsink/watercooler, you need to know your cpu socket. For example, xeons are socket 604, which means there are 604 pins between the cpu and the cpu socket. Pentium 4’s are around 470 pins I believe, not sure though. You get what im saying? ---

you guys are all talking cpu speed - nowadays more than 2ghz is just a waste cause all other components are proportionaly too slow - IE - the cache, RAM, Graphic Card Driver, CD player. People should consider developping them as well… ---

actually, even with little ram and a poor graphics card having a faster cpu makes a noticable difference in framespersecond while playing games. Well anyways i dont need to worry about other components, ---

I think there are groups that make custom watercooling systems… anyways… nice system you got there 🙂 [Previous page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/tell-us-about-your-machines/18634.md?page=4) [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/tell-us-about-your-machines/18634.md?page=6)
