phatazzmoose Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 To add a second CPU if you got a 2xx series chip ahhh right seen that part so dual will only give more results when im running more than one server correct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 If you were hosting two games at once. Most games can only take advantage of a single CPU, so a dual CPU setup would be pointless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatazzmoose Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 Most games can only take advantage of a single CPU, so a dual CPU setup would be pointless  right so the 148 would work fine then... what about the 2xx series? they are 2-way right? is that basically like intel's hyper-threading where its dual die's on one chip?

Paranoid Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 (edited) Hyper Threading just simulates two CPU's, there really is only a single die. Â A 2xx setup would beat out a Xeon setup mostly because the memory bandwidth is seperate for each chip. There's no bottleneck unlike intel's Xeon.

phatazzmoose Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 (edited) oh so it is ACTUALLY two die's, not just simulated to be 2  so the 2xx series would be the same as running dual 1xx series...no performance boost unless im running two servers  so technically the 8xx series would have 8 "individual" processors on the chip? bring on the folding    EDIT: this may be a little off subject <_< but since im thinking about it, has anyone figured out a way to unlock the athlon 64 non-fx series? you would prolly have to take off the heat spreader to even see if its possible...

battery Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 they are unlocked downward.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the 8xx series can be run in quad, 8-way, or ever higher numbers.  Sometime in 2005, there will be dual cores on a single chip.

phatazzmoose Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 ahhh i got it so you can run 4 or 8 processors together...but they dont have that many dies onboard  but is there any way to unlock them (a64 non-fx) upward? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 but is there any way to unlock them (a64 non-fx) upward? Nope, they're locked internally, just like P4's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatazzmoose Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 so im guessing theres no hope of ever getting my multi above 10 that saddens me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 Paranoid - clear up something for me please. When running multiple CPUs, why do they have to be the same batch if your are not going to try to OC them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 They have to be in the same batch, or very close. If they aren't there's a good chance they won't run together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
