    On board memory controller, Better cpu to cpu link, a lot of chipsets to choose from with intel xeons you can only use intel chipsets, more cpu to chipsets links, chipsets with more pci-e lanes and other stuff.

    not that fast intel next xeon chipset will FB-DIMMS in the high end chipset with pci-e 2.0 also not all of the pci-e lanes will be 2.0 and DDR2 ECC in the lower end one with less pci-e lanes and no pci-e 2.0.

  5. The FB-DIMMS are sucking up alot of power......... on Server Benchmarking Lone Wolf Bites Intel Again · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The FB-DIMMS are sucking up alot of power and giving off a lot of heat. That is bad for intel as there chipsets use alot more power as well and that looks bad next to a AMD system with cheaper DDR2 ECC ram.

    Intel new 4p systems with 4 FSB, L3 cache in the chipset and FB-DIMM may even use a lot more.

    Amd systems can have more then one chip set link and more pci-e lanes as well.

    People with ATI / AMD video cards are reporting that they can not use DRM video and HD-DVD or BLUE RAY disk in vista any more. They are also reporting DRM and errors and DX 10 games are not working.

    hurt intel as they need a lot more power and give off more heat then DDR2 ECC ram.
    and in amd systems the ram is linked to EACH cpu built in ram controller and the cpu have a better cpu to cpu link. Also the chipsets use less power.

    why not just a 1 amd 4x4 system with ddr2 or dual opteron board with ddr2 ecc or a quad dual board with ddr2 ecc and HT bus is faster then a gig-e link.
    Lower cost ram then dual xeon with FB-DIMMS.

    you can save even more by cutting out the network cards and getting a nforce 570 or 590 board with dual gig-e and a low end video card. or cut out the pci one and use a pci-e and the on board gig-e.

    And move to 2x512 or 2x1gb of ram. Why pay $48.49 for 1gb of ram when you can get 2x1gb for $20-$40 more.

    Part of on 1gb big download is updates that have been put up form the time that vista came out.

    But still 1gb is alot to down load and 7gb to install is a lot of space.
