Does windows 7 support dual xeon processors

In addition to the models given above, I see that although not pre-installed Windows 7 is also supported on the Z4 G4 workstation and perhaps other HP workstations. See details below:. Windows 7 media is available from HP Customer Support. You may only use one version of the Windows software at a time. Switching between versions will require you to uninstall one version and install the other version.

In dual processor configuration you can physically install up to 1TB of memory half to each processor but W7 can only address GB of memory; you'll need to move to W10 for more memory capacity. Newer Xeon processors after they switched naming conventions to bronze, silver, platinum might work but it's not supported and never will be.

Some people have had issues getting Windows 7 to load initially, but those issues are easy to get around. Thanks petegaughenbaugh. I think we are only going to spec this machine with 64gb memory so we should be good there. Our Win10 go live is a little ways off as we are going through the process of testing each departments applications, confirming if they can run on Win10 or not, plus creating the Win10 image, driver packs and new task sequence in SCCM, before deploying via SCCM.

Thanks for the tip and we have been looking into compatibility mode for legacy apps. I am not very sure about HP and which location you are at I am more familiar with Dell Workstations. As Dell workstations can have up to 5 yrs support 7 yrs if yo go through a Dell corporate account manager , never get the Workstations without the various OS media. There may be other dependencies like hardware-specific drivers which are not reflected in this matrix. Please contact your OEM or processor manufacturer for hardware-specific support.

New system submissions are no longer accepted for certification. Company may submit for certification in the Windows Hardware Compatibility Program Server Systems running Windows Server and the identified processors until December 31, ; after such date, no new Server Systems will be certified running Windows Server The listing is a prerequisite for system certification.

Only systems based on the above approved processors can be certified for Windows Server. Unless otherwise noted, Microsoft will continue to evaluate the processor list for a given OS release and update the list as new appropriate processors are available in market. Windows Server System Requirements. Comparison of Standard and Datacenter editions of Windows Server Windows 10 Systems Requirements. More REAL cores are better. Now where the real question comes in is core count more important based on the app or is core speed more important?

If Speed, then go intel, they'll beat up AMD clock for clock. All depends. Seems like folks here think speed is your target tho so I'd go Intel. Since he's using this as a real server I'd shy away from the SR2 if I were you, it's designed to be OC'd and carries a high price tag. A real server wouldn't be OC'd, at least none of mine, and you can get a real server board much cheaper than a new SR2. You can have dual quads for pretty cheap these days a steal if you don't mind buying used lol You may want to ask the eng'ys if the price diff for hex vs quad is worth it, they would know best.

Hope that helps! PS, if you need more examples of performance base on multi-socket systems, swing by the DC sub forum and browse the articles there While it is a forum for DC related chat, you should get a pretty good picture of what I'm saying core vs thread wise from there.

Or Just ask, many, including myself, have built many multi-socket systems. Albeit that was a money pit and never worked right lol. Pic made front page tho a few years ago lol.

Diff products for diff needs. But since your pretty sure higher clock speed is the goal, intel is your buddy. I am moving this thread along and do not care about any other threads. This thread made the suggestion to buy a Bulldozer for his system. Someone commented on the power of the Bulldozer so I wanted to confirm what he said.

He was correct that the cores are not as powerful. I just looked up a few benchmarks and even in heavily threaded applications the 8 core k beats the Bullsnoozer most times. Last edited: Jan 30, Another thing, there is no such thing as an 8-core k. Get your facts straight before making bullshit statements like this. It's still faster though. I'm going to end our conversation right now because it's obvious you are a AMD fan and are sensitive, I do not want you to think I am trying to insult you.

AMD makes great processors for their target audience, but all of the 'Bulldoze over Intel" stuff got pretty irritating the past several months, so it's fun to poke back.

This will need a lot of processing power. Joined Sep 17, Messages 1, It's not like dell or HP have some special sauce, they are selling the same xeons you can put in your own rig. If their prices are good then go ahead but if not don't be afraid to build your own round a nice supermicro board. Vaulter98c said:.
