Vince, Yes it is possible to disable cores on the X5460. I've heard of this and also checked with our technology team. This core disable is done through BIOS and each system vendor makes their own BIOS's, and may or may not have this option. So there is not any standard documentation (sorry). Some server system vendors have a BIOS option which is “Disable AP” (Disable application processor). When this option is “enabled”, one core on each die is disabled. Other vendors may have the option, but called it something else.

Thanks for your question. We couldn't make any specific recommendation, though I'm sure you could find many options on the web if you try a google search.

Thanks for your question. You may want to try this page on Network Connectivity. Let us know if you find the driver you needed.

We have only seen the Intel motherboards with SPDIF optical output (TOSLINK), never inputs and we think most of the OEM workstations don’t offer digital outputs or inputs. To accomplish your requirements, you may have to buy a workstation and then a discrete audio card such as this one: Click Here. Thanks for your question and let us know how it turns out.
