RC45: well the testing results aren't that surprising and you've summed it up in your last post were well . The video encoding, in it's essence, isn't much sutiable for a multi-processor machine.
However this "2000 BHP" monster will do just excellent simultaneously executing hundreds of asp scripts , while 1CPU 3.6GHz would be simply overwhelmed by the amount of interrupted requests .
PS: well it must be quite fun playing with such toyz .

You'll be surprised how many large boxes are used in production for complex computation requirements where they sit at 50 to 75% CPU all day everyday.
The sheer amount of connections and transactions needed to tax this system in such a way would overwhelm the network infrastructure and the stack of the OS long before the server broke out a sweat, which is why many times the "large transactional" environment is made of of many, many smaller machines able to receive and process the many simultaneous transactions needed to generate the work load.
I guess the self contained test could have just as easily been an attempt to break a 128bit encryption key - but how much interest would that generate at a Car web site.. LOL

I wanna see how many months it would take for you to crack md5 on a few of those, after all it only took 15 crea machines about 8 mo. lol back when i was in the networking arena, i remember that meryl used to run there network like that. Architechture was a bit diff, but the same principal. Each Server ran in triplicate, with a seperate pop per unit, it was hell from a management stand point. Ever seen a building with a different point of presence for 30 diff nodes? Try running a loop back on a csu/dsu that is not opperating correctly in a several thousand node network, while making sure that your testing dosent cost merle lynch about a million per minute. Why did i end up in realestate again? o ya better hours more money nicer toys. Whew flash backs are rough huh. lol

Unless your age is listed incorrectly - I am wondering just how far "back in the day" and "flash backs" can go when you are 21... :roll:
Oh - and the 8way box just got upgraded with 2.8GHz 4MB cache procs... and another 4GB's of RAM.

Well my age is not incorrect, I am 21 I have had many experiences, more so than most people twice my age. If you have questions just ask.

so many numbers... i really have no idea what that all mean.. except thats not a 'PC'... cause it doesn't seem to for such personal usage.. but really i have no idea what i'm talking about.. heres a pic of mine..
i have no idea what that mean... but it better be good!
*EDIT* - sorry for the Heb.. lol.. i usually use an english windows.. but i got the PC like this and i'm too lazy to reinstall windows for this..

4 GB is barely enough for such a system, I have one processor and 1 GB RAM so 4GB shouldn't be a lot with 8 Xeons with hyperthreading...
Hey RC45, why don't u do some real world benchmarks and send us the stuff, since you laid hands on a system like that maybe some 3D rendering, divx encoding or even some tpc benchmarks ( http://www.tpc.org/information/benchmarks.asp)

I haven't read the second page when I posted this one ops:
I see you now have 8 GB of RAM, that's a lot better
Anyway, I see you've already done some video encoding tests, maybe you can try that tpc thing I am sure the machine will show its best there.
