Single Xeon

[free...@gmx.net]

Dear list;

will all Xeons also run if no second CPU (Xeon) is available?

I need to know as i am building a system to be used by a small number of
people, but don't know how many it eventually will become. I therefore would
like to keep the system as scaleable as possible and would like to use a
dual board but start with only one CPU.

TIA

Zheyu

I think so.

Your problem will be that you will not get the second CPU when you
actually will need it or you will end up paying a very high price for it.

You might start with two CPUs but with a cheaper or even with the
cheapest version.

Some time ago there was troubles with usage of two CPU's from different
series together, so possible you will have to bye 3 CPU's finally,
because first one will not work with next. It was so on P-3 Coppermine
, and tualatin, and i don't think that something is changed. So maybe it
will be better to bye 2 CPU's one time?
As i know any intel CPU will work in single mode.And again last tests -
is p-3 age. But not any motherboard will work with one CPU, as i know.

PS maybe google will give you the better results, or just someone else.

Yes, certainly a single Xeon will work by itself, even the MP version
(which is for use in 4-way systems).
