Anyone run Barton Core (XP2500) on Thunder K7 (S2462)

Ow, at $280 each... but good to know since they are
probably the exact same chip as the XP2800, just the
jumpers are different, and the parts are tested to meet MP
specs. Thanks for the info.

Really, for $80 each, the XP2500 Barton has a pretty good
price/performance ratio. the XP2800 is $160, but it's nowhere
near 2x faster.

I'm willing to do the hack since this isnt going to be any sort
of high-rel server, just a 3DSMAX render station. The S2462 board
has unpopulated jumpers for setting CPU multiplier. Just have to
find out how they work.

Now, where to find a couple cheap 15,000 RPM U160 scsi drives...
or would a striped 4x IDE be faster.. hmm
