Reply With QuoteI'm afraid all of the experiences I've had with dual CPU systems lately have been Opterons. We do have quite a few multi-CPU Xeon systems at work, but they're all Dell boxes.
Thinking of picking up a Dual P4 Xeon 603 3ghz Motherboard.
Anyone have suggestions/comments to offer?

If this is going to be a cruncher follow Jeffs guide and go with a Asus PC-DL.
I set one up and love it so far. I get almost 300 units a day in D2OL
Ahh - crap. This IBM inteliistation MPro 6850 I picked up uses RAMBUS ECC ram.

I love my duallie!! I have dual mp2400's in it.It does over 300 wu's a day in RC5.I'm still curious as to what it would do in D2OL!Thinking about switching it over there before to much longer!!
THE MORE I WORK ON MY COMPUTERS,THE MORE HAIR I LOSE!!
Bummer. The ram will cost me more than the box and processors (2.0 Ghx Xeons) did....
Now I see why the seller sells the box without ram. He also happens to sell the RAM separately. I hate the thought of having to pick up 4 sticks of 128 Mb ram for this, at about $180 per stick......

Seems like it might be. At those prices, 4 sticks of 128 MB RAM "only" cost as much as the whole box did, instead of twice as much !!
Only problem is, it's backordered - they don't have any....
Sometimes I wonder why nothing in my life is ever simple....
(Hmmm.... Do you supposed I could use the faster RAM?) :

Very nice for the price. The processors are modded 1700b's.
