Hi, could anyone tell me what the XEON chip is based on? (Pentium2 architecture, etc.)

Also, would it be possible to overclock a Dual XEON 2.8ghz chip system so both chips are running at 3ghz giving a total yield of 6ghz?

thanks

When it launches, the Intel XEON 2.8GHz processor will be based on the Foster Core. As for overclocking, Dual P4 motherboards of the past have not been overclocker friendly.

Hehe ok cool. Well apparently it's already out because Dell sells them on their workstations.

Thanks for the info =)

*sign* the Xeons at 2.8 GHz are based on the <b>Prestonia</b> core. Foster was the Willamette-based Xeon core. Prestonia is the same as the Northwood except it has Hyperthreading enabled. As for P4's in dual board solutions. I don't know where you heard this as P4's never were in a dual board solution. SMP is disabled on all P4's.

You're right about 2.8GHz XEON being prestonia based, but I wonder what this quote means from theInquirer.net:
"When it launches the 2.8GHz Xeon based on the Foster core that wil cost $562, the 2.6GHz Xeon will cost $433, the 2.4GHz $224. "

And I meant dual XEON mobos haven't been overclocker friendly.

Thanx for correcting me though.
