Motherboard with BIOS that can selectively disable CPUs?
Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2007 12:34 am
I'm trying to set up a machine for OS benchmarking multiprocessor/multicore systems. I'd like to have two dual-core CPUs with a way to selectively turn off processors and cores as painlessly as possible (preferably in BIOS). Does anyone know of a motherboard that could support such a setup?
The chips I'm looking at Intel Xeon 51xx series, so I'd need a socket 771 board for that, but I'm interested in hearing about other setups as well.
Thanks in advance...
