Asus P5V-VM DH looks like a fun board, except I needed to flash it for it to even detect the CPU properly.

Didn't want to use the onboard GFX so have a 256mb 7300GS

Core2Duo 6300 retail, currently at stock speeds etc.

Running 2 instances of SoB at 48 degrees 2.7 mill per core.

@Fozzie: is that Asus P5V-VM DH micro ATX sized or standard ATX?
@guru: where do you get the E6600 so cheap? We have to pay about € 300 (about $ 360) for this one!!

[guru]

Internal discount.

[Bok]

If I could get them that cheap.. well

You do know how well SoB runs on Conroes right ?

Any chance of getting a Kentsfield??

[Fozzie]

The-Mk yes it's a micro atx but the layout is great.

Bok you just can't wait for that quad core monster.

I saw a nice dual dual core Xeon system with HT on Ebay. 8 logical CPUs, nice.

A snip at £1,100.

[Bok]

True, but from what I've read the November release will only by the Extreme version right ? I can't justify that one, so I'll have to wait until next year

Few people over at XtremeSystems have one though so they are available somehow...

BOk

[guru]

I've got 17 woodcrest 3Ghz servers and 18 core duo 2Ghz systems to install. They are all dual proc motherboards but only have one cpu in them for now.

[Fozzie]

I am getting 3million per core.

[Helix_Von_Smelix]

yup, a good twak will do that to a C2D
