Hey all...
So I /wanted/ to go with a dual opteorn mobo. Then I realised that the entire set up would be $2000 for what I want, when I can get a system with bigger hard drive space, 2x mp system, and a 6800 GT vidcard for about $600 less than my projected for the opteron system. So anyhow, I've heard quite a bit about modding Athlon XP's to MP, but I would like a link to an FAQ or something a little more take your hand and guide you through it type thing. Also should 2x Mobile Barton 3000+ procs be fine in a dual system?
Also, I was interested in the proper mobo. All I've heard about really is the k7d dual mp mobo as being ANYTHING near overclocker or enthusiast oriented boards. Would the k7d be the ONLY mobo that's ok for me? Even the review I read said the max supported FSB is only 150? No mobos have higher than this? also, what multis does it support? if it only goes up to 12.5 like many boards? If it's only 12.5 * 150 Mhz, then that's a max clock of only 1.875 ghz?
After all that, anyone got a link to a review taht shows the information about voltage control with the board as well? Any other boards you want to suggest as well?
Please, whatever advice that you guys can give would be helpful
Thanks,
Excelsior
