<div class="IPBDescription">Dual Xeon</div> I ran into a slight speed bump on my way to building a Dual Xeon system, I had my eye set on the <a href='http://usa.asus.com/products/server/srv-mb/pc-dl/overview.HTM' target='_blank'>Asus PC-DL Deluxe</a> mobo. It supports DDR333 its basically an Asus modified board that squeezes all the juice it can out of a Dual Xeon setup, heres what <a href='http://www.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20030827/asuspcdl-01.html' target='_blank'>Toms Hardware</a> had to say about the PC-DL. Now I was all ready to buy the setup (cheapest pricewatch price for a PC-DL 2x Xeon w/fan and h/sync is $1675) when I ran across <a href='http://www.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20040514/index.html' target='_blank'>this</a> article on Toms Hardware about the E7505 chipset. Now if you notice the E7505 article doesn’t mention the i875p chipset at all so i was wondering what your informed opinions would be. I need to know which chipset would be best for gaming.

Setup:

2x Xeon 3.06
Asus 6800 Ultra (whn avail)
1G DDR333 (if I go with the PC-DL)
Audigy 2 plat
1 SATA Raptor 74g (os drive)
4x 250g (storage, most prolly on raid)

function:

Primarily i want to use it as a gaming rig, however this will also act as an archive mirror for a file server with 6-10 users. I don’t plan on doing any Video editing or anything of that sort, but there will be a lot of compressing/decompressing .rar archives and such.

Thanks for the help. ( I did not want to stick this into tech support, mostly cause I'm an off topic fiend)

edit: clarity
Off Topic Disagree Agree Awesome
