LGA775 mobo with 2 proc slots

[joel oporto]

---

I've been wondering about this for quite some time. Na a bay mobo available for the pentium D 820/805 where you can put 2 processors in for a total of 4 actual processors? I guess this would be a server type of mobo but since the price of 2 intel D 805 is equivalent to one athlon 64 3500+, murag attractive sab in terms of price. This would not be a gamers rig kay wala pa man ma optimized ang games for dual proc, but for a multimedia rig that uses a lot of soft synth and sampler plugins, this would be a killer! Has anyone out there heard of a 2 slot LGA775 mobo?

if you need four cores

intel sells them as xeon so that they get more money

imagine if they sell a motherboard for 2 D 805..... who will buy the expensive Xeon

so they won't make a motherboard for 2 D 805.... since they will be lossing Xeon sales......

i read in one of the tech sites that next tech will feature mobos that will be able to utilize two dual core CPUs, the thing is, who would spend for 2 FX-62s? well not me..hehe i dont even have apps to make my OCed Venice bleed anyway (except for games)

Im not 100% sure of a Xeon processor is really needed, but all of my friends who asked me to make a spec for them with dual socket processors used a Xeon,Tyan and Intel manufacture dual socket motherboards there are even made o order quad socket motherboards avalable.

IMHO, getting a conroe E6600 or E6700 is much much better than a dual socket 805D ( if it were possible to run in that config )

Dual socket motherboards will accpet NON xeon processors. Tyan is one of the manufacturers for dual socket mobo and intel them selves ive already speced countless dual socket processor for friends and not all of them used a Xeon class but most of then did. Why would you go dual D805 ? spending for a single E6600 Core 2 Duo ( Conroe ) is a LOT faster. Tyan has annouced a dual socket mobo which is conroe ready.

is there a dual lga socket 775 motherboard made by Tyan?

because all dual socket or multiprocessor products of Intel are branded as XEON...... get it.........

There is no Pentium 4 dual socket product..... all the more a Pentuim D dual socket product........... if intel were to sell these its like a Killing their XEON.......

[dagget]

AMD is coming out with a system that can accomodate 2 FX-62 as pointed out by gravy-addict

they are calling it 4X4............ =16......hehehe

available na ni sa ato karon mga bossing!!!

FX62 isnt quadcore native yet, K8L will be quad core.
Hence 2x2 for FX62 , and 4x4 on K8L[br]Posted on: July 23, 2006, 06:14:58 PM_________________________________________________

The reason I am asking is of course the money to spend. How many 805D processors can you get for the price of a conroe E6600, or an X2 3800+, or an dualcore Xeon? Would the performance of the 805D be half across-the-board compared to the conroe E6600, or the FX 62 or the duo Xeon?

If price point was not a question then four dual-core xeons on a tyan Thunder GC-HE (S4520) would be just great. I can even use the 2 lan outputs to node other logic platinum powered PCs to it. But as it is, in a reality check, the 805D is the cheapest dual-core around, and very cheap at that! Hence the processor of choice for an entry-level quad format.

The dual socket mobos I've seen specify intel@ Xeon@ processors, do some of them support 805D processors?

AMD processors are out of the question, not because of performance, but because the cheapest I can find is about 18T pesos (X2 3800+) or the price of 3 805D processors. Now would the X2 3800+ be three times faster than the 805D?

I presently use a venice 3200+ oc to 2.5ghz which I bought for 12k back then in the hope of replacing it with an athlon dual-core in the future.
I know the 805D is not the best proc, or the fastest, but if it had come out then, at its price, I would have chosen it against the venice 3200+ as the 805D will kick the venice.

If AMD had a dual-core as cheap as the 805D, I'd probably be asking you guys the same question but for a quad AMD instead.

precisely, but it doesn't have to be Intel mobos,

Which leads me back to my original question,

Are there any dual socket mobos that support the 805D?
