I'm trying to build a high quality (and quiet) Intel workstation, using
low power CPU.
I think Xeon LV (aka Sossaman) could be great. It's quite new (core
duo), and is very "low power".
Not so many motherboard can use a Xeon LV:
Intel Server Board SE7520BB2D2
Tyan Tiger i7520SD (S5365)
SuperMicro X6DLP-*
I'm in France. I've found a reseller for SuperMicro's motherboards, but
I just can't find anybody for Tyan's and Intel's.
I must say, I would prefer Intel's motherboard, as it sports both EFI
and regular BIOS.
My question are:
- Who, *in France or Europe*, can sell me a Sossaman motherboard?
(Intel's my first choice).
A probably more evolutive choice would be to go for a Merom.
- Can somebody tell me how much power the Merom is supposed to use ?
- Can somebody tell me if Intel will release EFI+BIOS Merom/Conroe
motherboards ?
thanks
