Intel Pentium 4 HT 661

Manufacturer link

The final revision of the Pentium 4 was Cedar Mill, released in early 2006. This was simply a straight shrink of the 600-series core to 65 nm, with no real feature additions. Cedar Mill had a lower heat output than Prescott, with a TDP of 86 W. The Core Stepping of D0 in late 2006 reduced this to 65 watts. It has a 65 nm core and features a 31-stage pipeline (just like Prescott), 800 MT/s FSB, Intel 64, Hyper-Threading and Virtualization Technology. As with Prescott 2M, Cedar Mill also has 2 MB of L2 cache. It was released as Pentium 6x1 and 6x3 (product code 80552) at frequencies from 3.0 GHz up to 3.6 GHz. Overclockers managed to exceed 8 GHz with these processors. (Wikipedia)

HP SAS3080X-HP 8 PORT 64/133 PCI-X SAS

Manufacturer link (LSI)

The LSI SAS3080X-R card provides the greatest available throughput to internal server storage arrays through eight internal 3 Gb/s ports, driving up to 122 SAS and SATA devices. The host bus adapter supports multiple configurations of SAS and SATA devices running RAID 0, 1, 1E or 10E by connecting a 64-bit PCI-X 133 MHz bus with two internal x4 SFF-8484 SAS connectors. The SAS3080X-R demonstrates a significant advantage over parallel SCSI in providing 2400 MB/s external data throughput and cost optimization of SAS and SATA drives. (LSI)

  • Supports 4 x 3.5" SAS and SATA II drives
  • The fan noise was horrible. I replaced it with a slow speed Noctua NF-R8 Silent 80mm fan.
