I am planning to build a server based on the SuperMicro X7DBE+-O
motherboard. This server will have two dual-core Xeon processors and
a 3ware 9550SX raid card.
Has anyone built a server based on this motherboard? Are there any
issues with the smp/dual-core support in CentOS4 that might cause
problems?
CentOS4 has no issues with SMP/dual core.
I appreciate any input. I'm just looking to find out about any
possible problems before I spend the money for the MB, CPU, and
amazingly expensive RAM.
Is there any reason you're locked into Xeon/FB-DIMM? SuperMicro makes
many rather nice Opteron boards, with good ol' DDR SDRAM. And there
aren't many areas where Xeon outperforms Opteron these days, if any.
