hi all , again here to make some question to the guru of this excellent forum.. what i would ask is :
i have 8 core 2,4 ghz E5620 that is bottlenecking my crossfire 5870 under windows 7...
1 )i have read that is possible take any 5500 or 5600 series , and if u dont have money take 1.... replace socket A.. and leave the socket B empty, this would work. Right?
2) what if i take any i7 or any xeon 1366 socket.. that doesn t have interlan QPI 2 and leave socket B empy forever? would it work? is it never been tested ? i know ecc ram would not work if i don t use xeon for example.. but i don't mind...... i hope you can help me with this.
thank you
