Pro 6 Memory and CPU
I'll get around to running the tests eventually but so far so good using some random 2gb PC2-6400 CL6 dimms I bought on ebay awhile back for less than $50. Its fairly common memory you don't need to s...
fbmachines, same here, I've got a few files that constantly buffer on the pro6 but were fine on the big dell quad box.
Crossing my fingers, I've ordered an "Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz SL9ZF E6700". It has 4mb of cache vs 2mb and 1066mhz bus vs 800mhz on the stock chip. It actually runs cooler than the stock chip according to the specs. Its readily available on ebay for $50-70.
Here's my thought process:
lspci sees "00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Q963/Q965 Memory Controller Hub (rev 02)"
So hopefully its a Q965 chipset. Intel tells me the Q965 will support the chip. In addition, someone else on these forums claims success with the same chip. Another person claims failure with the 3.2 and 3.33ghz version of the chip, which makes sense because the 965 doesn't list those as supported.
I'll post my results when I get the chip.
