    question Is an Intel E8400 CPU compatible with an Intel D946GZIS MB?

    30% of the RAM bandwidth doesn't translate into 30% of the overall performance of the system. It might be 3-4% slower all in all.

    Ivy Bridge-EX specifications, prices, launch date, etc

    I revisited the numbers and I think I was a bit off. When I compare the prices on the list I've found with Intel's MSRP, the MSRP are 89.17% of the list'S prices. So that 7423$ should be closer to 6620$. That's still a lot of doh, but if I had to purchase a few, I'd be happy to pay 780$ less...

    Ivy Bridge-EX specifications, prices, launch date, etc

    According to a merchant spreedsheet I've found on the Net, the upcoming E7-4890v2 will cost approximately 7400$. That's quite a jump from the 4400$ Intel asks for the current top dog of the E7 family : the Xeon E7-4870. Since it will operate at a 400MHz higher frequency and have 15 cores...

    I wish it was this easy. When I try to go to the G: drive (the one where the VHD are), g: appears for one second and then I'm brought back to the c:. That's when I'm typing on the keyboard physically attached to the server, as an Administrator.
