For a D955xbk intel motherboard, is there anyway to roll back the voltage and memory speed to it's default settings if it was set in the bios and now will not boot ? Removing the battery does not work.

x5450 processor monolithic or MCM? (Need official documentation from Intel showing which it is.)

Thanks for the response concerning MCM vs monolithic.

<Why does MCM vs monolithic matter? Can you explain why you are asking the question as I'm curious.>

We are dealing with an Oracle licensing issue. For Oracle Standard and Oracle Standard One, they have different ways of counting cores/processors. A monolithic processor counts as one processor (regardless of number of cores) whereas a MCM processor counts as 2 processors in this case.

hi chris

thanks fo rthe info. i had already ordered the pc's. i just had doubts about the salemans telling me the Xeon X5460 really is @30% faster than a QX9650 or just pulling my chain.

I'm looking for a desktop/worksation machine with integrated optical audio input & output ports. Or a recommendation for such machine.

I'm in academia and we want this for experiment workstation.
