[olug] P4 Servers

Sat May 10 04:55:41 UTC 2003

Are there any known issues with the 3.0 P4 on the 533 bus?

Do they just run slower but faster than a 2.2, 2.4, or 2.8 P4 chip?

Careful, there are 2 different 3.0 P4s - the 3.06GHz on a 533MHz DDR 266 
bus and the 3.0 on a 800MHz dual-channel DDR400 bus.

The latter is obviously a very sweet setup ;)
