question bout xeons: whats a p4 xeon? because ive only heard of a xeon, but now thers p4 xeons, pIII xeons etc etc, whats what?
that board sounds good, but is there one like that which supports RDram? up to 4gb about with a memory riser?
is it possible to plug a agp4x gfx card into a agp8x motherboard? or the other way around? agp8x into agp4x mboard?
ooh u have to buy a specific psu for that
how weird

YES! I was looking for someone who owns a usb2 HDD!Originally posted by tariqrf
no need man... i have a USB 2 external backup harddrive and...
tariqrf:
This is surely a dumb question, but I have to ask; is it possible to boot from an usb2 HDD?
And are there any problems installing software and such on this external HDD?
Hope for reply!... Cause I'm about to buy one, but I'm not sure if I know all there is about external HDD's.

P4 and P4 Xeon is cache and hyper threading
Waste of money if you ask me performance increase has been shown to be minimal, depending on the app.
Wait till the new AMD 64 bit processors go into mass production

The basic only difference between a PIII and a PIII xeon is cache memory

Maybe, maybe not all reports indicate that there very fast 64 bit processors, its just a bit of a waste IMHO to go out and spend a couple of thousand pounds right before everyone gets set to launch there 64 bit processors, might as well give it a few weeks and see what happens.Originally posted by tariqrf
