shuttle sn25p / sn26p

[Cyber-Mav]

question about these 2 small form factor cases, in reviews iv seen they don;t have a pci-e clock lock so when you overclock the bus speeds for pcie go out of spec and cause problems.

was a pci lock implemented in a later bios or is it still missing?

also is a SN21-G5 a viable alternative to the above 2 sff cases?

thinking of building a sff pc since i have an opteron 146 lying around and stacks of ddr1 ram lying around too.

Yes its a perfectly viable option depending on how high spec your going.

The main advantage of the SN26P is it can run 2 graphics cards in sli but I dont know about the heat issues involved, I found this thread while looking for info on that

I have a SN21G5 that is quite happily running an Opteron 146 with an X1950pro and 2gb Pc3200. Don't let the size fool you.

The opteron runs comfortably with my memory at 220Mhz on a 1:1
