I thought you have a dual CPU W5580... you also have a dual CPU X5450?

Yep...

I have:
Dell T7500 with 2x w5580
Dell T5500 with 2x w5580
Dell T7400 with 2x x5450
Dell T3500 with single x5450
Dell Precision 690 with 2x x5355
Precision 490 with 2x x5060
Precision 490 with 2x x5160
5 Dell Optiplex 755 Small Form Factor with Q9650
And a netbook...

In all fairness I have started to convert some of this over to rack mount server chassis so most of the non-hyperthreadding CPUs are all in servers.

And the point of having a remote desktop iz...?

I have one main computer (the T5500) that I use as a desktop with 5 monitors attached to it. The others are simulation and execution boxes and they are much better off in a locked air conditioned room with little to no access. I use remote desktop to access them when I need to work on those machines... If not I'd have a desk a mile long with keyboards and monitors out the wazoo.... This way I only need one desktop & keyboard and I can control everything from my netbook if need be.

Nein bin ich ziemlich sicher, dass die meiste Microsoft Betriebssysteme Fenstern 95 aufstellen, sowie viele andere Betriebssysteme ein entferntes Schreibtischkennzeichen haben. Was ist Ihr Punkt?

Has anyone tried Ready Boost on Windows 7?

I connected a new 16 gb OCZ ATV usb drive yesterday just to try it. At first it would not recognize it as "Ready Boost" capable memory so I did a quick format and it worked right away.

One day when I'm bored I'll run some benchmarks.

I have an HP Slate ordered that I want to run it on. I have a 32GB SD card I want to run Ready Boost with.

HP contacted me a few days ago and said they had too many orders in the pipeline to deliver the tablet on time. They gave me a $100 cedit to my card and free shipping. Poor management but I still want the damn tablet!

Winston, how much RAM are you running in this box and which Xeon processor?

I have a T7500 with dual Xeon W5580 that has 36gb (9x 4GB sticks)... that's the most/craziest box. And I didn't buy that much RAM, it came from Dell that way.

All the rest have either 9x 1GB DDR3 sticks or 8x 1GB DDR2 sticks. The newest box is a dual X5680 (dual hex-core) and that thing came with 9x 2GB ddr3 RAM so that's 18gb.

Thanks, I have a HP Proliant server I use but was looking into a 5500. I know you are happy with your T7500.
