I've got another 1gb of PC800 rambus sitting here, a pull from an P4 1700 server I had ...

also, what speed Xeon?

I've got a dual 1.6 xeon server sitting here that uses DDR/DDR-ECC ... rambus is so out of date by now, I'm surprised you found a server board that uses it ...

Billabond1 · « **Reply #3 on:** August 27, 2005, 11:10:10 PM »

the board came with two 1.8's. I was gunna ask you if you had any rdram laying around, but tekie said you probably would not...oh well.

I have a 160 gig hdd on the way. All i still need to get is a psu and a case to fit an atx extended board.

edit: i just figured out that i need continuity modules to run in the empty ram slots. Have any of those laying around nimby?

I actually have 2 128 rambus thingys in the house...

Billabond1 · « **Reply #5 on:** August 28, 2005, 12:44:43 PM »

what are the specs on those "2 128 rambus thingys"?

The Shoctor · « **Reply #6 on:** August 28, 2005, 12:53:44 PM »

They belong to Red, but he is willing to sell'em.

Samsung R64X16M80
RIMM 800MHz 128MB

Thats what the label says!

Billabond1 · « **Reply #7 on:** August 28, 2005, 01:09:50 PM »

well i could either get those or i could pay like 8 bucks for two continuity sticks to fill the slots with.

EDIT: Kev is gunna hook me up...woohoo!

Well almost all of the rest of my stuff came today.

I got the case from cuzz today as well. I had to rig the case a little to allow me to fit an atx extended board into it.

and i picture of my work bench

i should have it up and running tomorrow, so i will see how it is.

a "pentium 5" power supply from a no name company ... eep

this is one of those cases where it'd be worth the extra $$$ to get an antec or thermaltake powersupply ...
a dual Xeon server eats ALOT of power, and doesn't handle low 12 or 5V lines well ... trust me, went through this on my Dual 1.6HT server
