I actually have one of the TP-Link TL-WN722N, the first one you linked to @manofthem , and it works great. I don't use it all the time but when I do I never have a connection problem or dropped connection.

Thanks @Norton! ;)


That sounds enough for me since you've had some experience with it. Thanks!



This sounds like it should be in a meme! :roll:


:roll: I didn't even notice that when I wrote it. :laugh: I should have added; "stay thirsty my friend." :p

Anyone know if you can run 4P chips in a 2P board? These would be ES's. I know that you can run a single DP chip in a DP board and most will run as a single in an X99 board but I know nothing about 4P chips and boards so the help would be appreciated.

In a worst case I could get a 4p board and just populate 2 sockets but I'd really like to avoid that since 4P boards are so much more expensive.

Thanks for any help.

The Intel site claims (for the non-ES ones) that it supports:
Intel said:
Max CPU Configuration 4

So, probably. The dual-CPU Xeons (E/X 5600 series) work just fine in a single-socket configuration, so I'd assume that (particularly with what Intel says) the quad-CPU ones would work fine in a dual-CPU configuration.

FWIW the Opteron 6000 series CPUs will run in single, dual, or quad CPU arrangements.

Nope, you need;) a 4P motherboard. (I have no idea, but I would think that it would work.)

Do you have anything more modern available? Both of those are REALLY old and will suck down a LOT of power (and, in exchange, not even be that fast). Something with a pair of Xeon 5500 CPUs (Nehalem) would be good; a pair of Xeon 5600 (Westmere) would be even better. Those are what I'm running the most of.

Do they offer different configurations? Something like the Quadro 4000 is a approx $200 CAD card that adds nothing vs a $5 one. And for just WCG, 4GB RAM is plenty, as is a 40GB HDD.

How's the Ebay market up there? It might be the best bet to buy a Supermicro dual-LGA1366 board, some used Xeons (here in the US, the six-core E5649s are about $50 each) and simply build something from scratch.

The Precision T7500 would be pretty nice if you could find a buyer for the Quadro.

One concern with it: the T5500s and T7500s use a riser card that holds the second CPU & heatsink. If not included (and, since it's only in a single-CPU mode, I suspect it is not), this card is not cheap. I looked, and they're about $100 for the T5500 version; not sure about the T7500 one. That doesn't even include the cost of the second CPU (which, admittedly, isn't that much).

Those are nice 8c/16c CPUs....downside is that it's socket 1567, which I've never seen a board for. If you can get a good deal on, great!

Having used a number of Dell servers and workstations, they often use a proprietary plug for the front panel ports; I'm not even sure i fyou could turn it on without the additional circuit board and ribbon cable. Any chance of finding a Supermicro one? Those are my favorite :)

Sounds like that system needs another look to see if it will take a more cost-effective cooler (CM 212 or similar)

Personally, if I was just starting off, I would look into a socket 1155 system with a budget board and a 4c/8t cpu. Parts would easier to source/cheaper to replace and would still get pretty good performance per $/per watt :)

I think you can guarantee that the prices will go up. But a Sandy i7 (particularly a K edition) is a very solid platform!

Does anyone know if Antec uses the same pin layout for all of their modular cables? My CP850 came with no modular cables (hence why it was $5) but I have a bunch left over from some past TruePowerNew 650Ws that I could use...

As a recent re-acquisition, I have a 2600k but it's not performing as well as I should like. I'm going to mess around with some BIOS settings and see if I can improve it, but if I can't, I'm goig to be asking for a little assistance ;)

Maybe but definitely not always. I had cables from I think it was an 800w supply that wouldn't work in the 1200 which I bought at around the same time. You'll need to know the pin-out of the sockets and then try to find cables that match.

Thanks. They fit--so they're clearly physically compatible--but I'll try to rustle up some pinouts to make sure it won't short things out.
