Hi,
Please excuse my English and my “long” post. I want to make myself understood, and therefor I’ll rather write “too much” than “too litle”.
I’m currently working in programming for industrial applications, and building automation. In our buisiness, we use a lot of different programming tools, and now when all this new “nice looking” but very resource-demanding software are on the market, I feel that my computer is always running low on resources.
P.S. I do nut play games or anything at all…!! Only programming…. 🙂
Now I’m going to put together a new desktop computer, and I have some ideas for this, regarding motherboards using Intel Socket 771, instead of the more common Socket 775.
I do not know very much about computers, as you probably understand, so therefor I’m asking for some tips for my new desktop. I also think that we do not use any budget, since I first would like some tips, and then I can deside for myself when I’m going to purchase the new parts (Price/size is not a problem in this discussion…..)
My idea is to use a motherboard with Intel Socket 771 because of the following reasons:
Motherboards supporting Socket 771: 1. Supports a lot more memory (RAM)
2. Supports better memory (EEC??) – Not sure about this??
3. Supports two physical processors (implement a second CPU in the future…)
As far as I know, Windows Vista Ultimatum x64 supports two physical processors. I also knwo that Intel Socket 771 is usually used for Server Applications, but I cannot seem to find anything that would go against my idea of using this for my desktop computer.
I also know that many programs today can’t use two physical processors, but I do belive that this will come in the future. I also belive that software supporting x64 will come in the future…
-As said earlier, I would like to build this computer with the future in mind.
Well, I hope that I made myself clear. If I didn’t, please contact me and I will try to explain.
I hope for some answers, if I’m “on the track”, or completely lost….
