Got my DL580. But... uugh!

Well pick up my deal last night( a DL580). But has no memory board, no
ps, no peripheral board.

Two 700mhz 2meg cache xeons. Picked up two 1 meg cache xeons last week.
(can I mix them?)

About 1gig of memory. Unforturnately no drives or trays.

So I'm looking...

Hmm.. Not sure where that server falls in the overall product line, but
it sounds newer than my Proliant 5500 by a little (my cpu's max out at
550Mhz).. Did you get a good deal on this system with the missing parts?
I got mine for $180 about 6 months ago..

On the 5000's there was a support way to have different processor cache
configurations. not sure about the 580.

You can try it, but the system may bark about an unsupport CPU
configuration. if thats the case, get 2 more 1M units,and sell the 2M
packages. The 1M doesnt really get you "that" much anyway. Useful for
databases, mostly, but not a very noticeable performance vector.

Look for mem and peripheral boards on ebay. they show up occasionally. Also,
check the QuickSpec archive on HP.com for part numbers for those things,
then use that to do a google search. You are bound to find somewhere that is
selling them, probably from texas.
