http://www.intel.com/products/processor/xeon/index.htm Shows that the lowest speed Xeon with EM64T is 2.83GHz. http://commerce.euro.dell.com/dellstore/config/frameset.asp?c=607&n=3410&b=62417&m=gbp&cs=ukbsdt1&sbc=ukbsdpedge&v=d&cu=etstore&l=en&s=ukbsd&store=ukbsd Shows a system taking 1-4 of those processors at 2.0, 2.2, 2.7 and 3.0GHz, making them 32bit only. Memory you can configure is from 1GiB (4x256MiB) to 32GiB (16x2GiB). If I'd buy a server I wouldn't buy one of those however, I'm just answering the question. Disclaimer: I do not have anything to do with either of the above mentioned vendors. I just looked up the first vendor that came into my head. // Stefan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) iD8DBQFC4WDjBrn2kJu9P78RAn9RAJ9wRffW5VB0WbRgRBNjfN9+k3XMvgCgtWAO mu8p8nj8iIpNIkuYiMkiTuI= =9kQz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
