Mist Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 I would rather stick with my 2500+ seeing how those were supposed to be horrible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look guys, its an obsolete CPU that never worked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IoDd64 Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 never worked? they can run 32-bit code through emulation.... oh well.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AYoKoNA Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 never worked? they can run 32-bit code through emulation.... oh well.. Funny, my opterons do it no problem in Windows XP 64bit Beta, throw any program on that OS, 32bit or 64bit, and it runs flawless... No emulation necessary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMB3017 Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 Man, you couldn't give me a hundred bucks to use those. Well, maybe to save up for an AMD64... The 733 was the first Intel 64-bit foray, something many like to call the Itanic... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilMB3017 Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 There is a second set of Itaniums, that run at up to 1.2 GHz I believe. They aren't meant for clock speed, but bandwith in server enviroments, hence they are VLIW style chips, not x86. For what they are, they are incredible. Too bad Windows IA64 was never stable enough for them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC10281982B Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 hmm, how much do the mobos cost & could you run linux & F@H on it? Other than that no way. edit: i wonder how it would OC... Good question. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cGrUnDy Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 The only serious software that I've seen running natively on Itanium (we have a few itaniums at my workplace) Is windoes 2003 64-bit enterprise edition with SQL server 2000 64-bit enterprise edition. I know there's a 64-bit linux wich works on itanium, but I've never seen it myself. It's a great DB plataform when used specifically with that OS and DB. But it's not good for anything else. and running 32bit code with emulation is a total waste. Stay away from itaniums unless you're planning on building a datacenter or something like that. And motherboards, ram, etc cost a fortune. Also you can't go out and buy windows server 64 bits. It only sells pre installed with servers from HP and some other brands, so there's no use on buying a cpu alone. The only case in wich you could use a spare itanium is if you allready have a server with an empty itanium slot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
