Is it possible to use a dual processor computer as your desktop?
- by Ivo Flipse
I've seen some people suggesting to get a motherboard that supports two processors and stick two Xeon Nehalem processors in it.
Could you use this system as a desktop PC or is this useless or even impossible?
It's more hypothetical question if Windows 7 would support such a set-up. I know you could just take an i7, but wouldn't two of those processors be a whole lot more awesome? Like the previous generation Skulltrails?
The idea would be to have a motherboard like this
ASUS Z8NA-D6C Dual LGA 1366 Intel 5500 ATX
and two Xeons (since I don't think i7's could be used) Intel Xeon E5405 Harpertown
to run something like Windows 7 Ultimate.
