<0> with th e2x1gig
<1> (which means that you could fit 4 sticks, just not dual-bank sticks, which all 1 GB sticks seem to be)
<0> you mena singel sided memory?
<2> windows server "longhorn" enterprise is limited to 64GB of RAM in the 32-bit version...nice :)
<0> the gigabyte ga k8ns 939 ultra is documented on the mfr sites as been able to use double sided memory in a 4 stick combo
<0> only tha tit runs at 333mhz
<2> SorcererX: purchased 2 750gb drives too
<1> ah, I purchased a pair of 320 GBs myself
<1> cost the same as one 400 GB drive
<2> 1.36TB for $700 not bad
<1> except you could get over 2TB worth for that price
<2> which is the current size of my raid-5 with 6 300gb drives
<1> if you had the room for drives
<1> :)
<2> Yeah my RAID card only has 8 slots
<2> 6 are taken up with 300gb drives, that leaves me 2 slots for a stripe :)
<1> if you need more than 320 GB, you pretty much end up with 750 GB as the next sensible price point
<2> dunno what I'm going to do with 2.72 TB of space but owell
<1> I'm sure I can fill 640 GB pretty easily
<2> with?
<1> haven't sorted that out yet
<1> but with a 100 Mbit line, filling it can't be that hard
<1> time will tell
<0> Drevlan what slot is that raid card?
<2> it's a PCI Express card if that's what you're asking
<1> PCI-E is nice, I bought a Intel PRO/1000 PCI-E NIC
<1> :)
<0> i have a 4 port sataII but the pci bus speed ****s so it is not raid card
<1> PCI is horrible
<2> SorcererX: Yeah your 100 Mbit line and my 8 Mbit line :)
<1> that's one of the reasons they made SATA in the first place
<1> the old ATA was designed to be hooked up to the PCI bus
<2> it's only a 4x PCI-E but it still performs very well
<1> while the SATA could byp*** the PCI bus
<1> "only" 4x PCI-E ? :P
<2> yeah :P
<1> that's 1 GB/sec each way
<2> I'm greedy
<2> and I've seen 16x versions, though not sure how much better performance they actually get
<2> http://www.promise.com/marketing/datasheet/file/ST_EX8350_DS_0206.pdf
<1> or well, actually it is 10 Gb/sec, 1.25 GB/sec, but without the overhead it is 1 GB/sec
<1> Drevlan: none at all.
<2> It's a very decent card I am impressed for a Promise card
<1> PCI-E 4x cards should be decent
<2> 500Mhz Processor and 128MB of ram is nice too
<2> would be nice to get the battery backup unit for it but I have a decent UPS so I should be alright I think
<1> :)
<1> sounds expensive
<2> 359 now
<2> I think I got it for around $400 when I purchased
<1> yeah, expensive, but worth it if you have the storage for it
<1> :)
<2> they have a 16-port version as well
<1> I don't have enough storage for that
<1> :)
<1> but a 12TB RAID-5 would be nice
<2> but I can't justify $630 for it
<1> you could if you wanted 16 x 750 GB drives
<1> :)
<2> it uses 8x PCI-E
<1> yeah
<1> you could just put it in a 16x PCI-E slot
<2> as far as I know it's limited to 16x500GB drives but then again maybe they haven't updated their specs to include the new 750GB drives yet
<2> says "Storage capacity up to 16.0 terabytes (with sixteen 500GB drives x 2 controllers/ system)
<1> two controllers
<1> heh
<1> could do 24TB then
<2> with 750gb drives
<2> maybe
<1> yeah
<2> anyway 2am here now so I must run
<1> but if I was going with an array that big
<1> I'd go with RAID-6
<1> instead
<2> work in the morning and stuff :(
<2> Yeah the RAID-6 functionality is nice
<2> and I might do that with my RAID-5 if I keep the usage down low enough
<2> want to build a server to put all these drives in and to use a virtual machine host but I can't decide on either dual opteron 275's or go with dual xeon core duo processors
<1> they have xeon core duo procs?
<2> Yeah
<1> I thought it was just crappy Intel Dual-Core Xeons
<1> with a higher FSB to offset the performance loss
<2> I believe they're not out yet but are coming
<1> that's the only Xeons I see anyway
<1> LGA771
<1> by then.. AMD will be using a new socket
<1> Socket 1207
<1> for the Opterons
<2> yeah
<2> so I think I'm holding out for now
<2> to see what happens
<2> worse to worse the new processors will be overpriced but yet drive down the price of the opteron 275s and I'll go with that solution
<1> they're not overpriced though
<0> i could not find a pci-e x4 mobo that had what i wanted.
<1> they'll just drop the prices of the inferior old hardware
<1> ChronoVore: what did you want?
<0> but the mircoatx board i got with the dual core p4 had 4x sataI port raid that i had to fill
<1> well, PCI-E 4x isn't that common
<1> it'll become more common when PCI dies out completely
<2> I hate the PCI-X stuff
<2> filling up my boards with that crap when they should be filling it with PCI-E :)
<0> i thought pci-x was dropped by mfr people
<2> I wish
<0> 64bit pci slot
<2> You still see it a lot in workstation/server cl*** motherboards
<2> SorcererX: What PCI-E NIC did you get? any cool off-the-wall features?
<1> just a Intel PRO/1000PT
<1> http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/pro1000pt_desktop_adapter.htm
<1> Desktop version
<2> ah
<0> i ordered zyxel gigbit nic last night
<1> I'm not paying 200% more for the server version ;)
<0> suppose to have 9k jumbo frames
<1> I also bought a
<1> http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/pro1000gt_desktop_adapter.htm
<1> for one of my non-PCI-E boxes
<0> which matchs my marvel onboard nic
<2> ah :(
<1> then I bought a ****ty d-link gigabit NIC that I can test
<1> was like $15
<0> yeah those d-link are realtek chips
<1> good
<1> I was afraid it was going to be something really obscure
<1> :P
<0> which only support 7kb jumbo frames
<2> I was hoping you got something cool like eitherchannel support :D
<1> Drevlan: nah
<1> all I was interested in.. of features.. was some cpu offloading
<1> :)
<1> and PCI-E
<1> hmm
<1> my harddrives just got shipped
<2> well I'm out. later guys
<3> oopss
<4> !seen Intuitive
<5> haponesa, Intuitive is right here!
