Intel Xeon E5-2699 V3 vs Windows 11


I was given a Dell Precision T1650 for parts [as part of my bill setting up her new one]. It has a 3.10 GHz Intel Xeon E3-1220 V2 CPU and 16GB RAM but I fixed it, runs Win10 just fine but no way for properly running Win11 so it will remain as-is for a reference machine when working with my clients, just like the Win7 I've saved.

Most of my machines aren't supposed to run win 11 but I decided they have to.

Funny, I've got a couple T1700 SFF running Windows 11 Pro perfectly. They're great.

I think Windows 11 runs better than Windows 10. Windows 10 seemed laggy on some PCs so I was never a fan of it.

Same opinion of Win11.

Well that was pretty painless, XEON installed, remnants of i7 removed from device manager. System is way more responsive, prime number calculation is way faster. SO i ended up with a £4000 device for £35, i call that a bargain.

AGREED! That's what I call REAL VALUE & A BARGAIN!

Congratulations @Rollback_Jockey , well done. (y)

On these Xeons, I always use ECC memory and experience speed, reliability, zero problems, zero BSOD, and stable as can be.

I believe that "Rollback_Jockey's" X99 board cannot use ECC. Even if it did, I imagine that changing to it would add quite a bit over £35.

That can wait, i've recently spent a minor fortune on this 48G of DDR4, currently bidding on another 16G to fill the rest of the sockets :)

Wait until you get a MB that supports ECC? The X99 apparently does not.
