    OH okay, cause I thought that setting the PXE server as the primary storage device would make the computer boot from it.

    The boot sequence is the order in which a system will try to boot.
     
    For example, on one of my old systems the boot sequence consists of:
    HDD0(hard drive) ODD(optical drive) FDD(floppy drive) Changing the boot sequence would mean you would be able to set the system to boot from the PXE server instead of a local drive, allowing you to successfully image the system.

    Similar to booting to a USB drive, you have to go the boot menu and set the system to boot from the USB drive instead of an internal drive. Same basic principle here.

    B. The boot sequence is the order that the system checks for bootable devices. If you want to boot to PXE, you need to put PXE higher in the list than the next bootable drive.

    why didn't you build with used hardware? just for the price of the ram you could have had a quad core cpu+motherboard+ram...

    9) You are attempting to image a computer from a PXE server but the PC is defaulting to checking the DVD drive for an image disk. You know you should change the __________ in BIOS to select the PXE server as the image location. A) Clock B) Boot sequence C) Primary storage location D) BIOS Security Given the above question, why is the answer B and not C?
     
    Wouldn't it make more sense to set the server as the storage location, or am I misunderstanding something?
     
    I'm really new to this so go easy on me :\

    You can use the physical adapter by itself, but you'll be stuck with reduced clock speeds...

    Actually, I didn't need to mod the BIOS to make it work. Windows identified it correctly. But, the clocks were limited for some reason. All you'd need are some microcode changes - and those are easy to make...

    Sooo what you're saying is:
    1. Swap E5800 in my Optiplex 380 for a Q6600
    2. Overclock it by putting electrical tape on it
    3. ???

    As per @aisle9's suggestion. I'll get a Q6600 and tape mod to 3 gigahertz.

    Which of them would be a better choice for single threaded performance? I'm gonna put the winner into an LGA 775 proprietary dell mobo

    Is it worth the hassle of finding a custom BIOS for LGA 771 chips? Since they're both gonna be running at 3.0 GHz whats the difference a little L2 cache is gonna make? And I'll be paying double for the xeon, is it worth it?

    Well, I've just got this LGA 775 system sitting around with a 750 ti inside. I think I could breathe some life into it by popping in a Q6600 @ 3 GHz

    Lol I'm just some high school noob. I'll probably end up breaking something. I'll just take the safe option and go with a Q6600 and overclock to 3 GHz
