@Phil - Is this Panda completely just powered by PCI only? This would be fantastic news, as I can power a ton of this without needing ATX Power supplies. The IBM 4KW Server PSU bundle seems like a winner's choice for this. .
yes the Panda need only PCI-E 6 Pin nothing else.How many PCI-E sockets in total please?
seven
What is the difference between a normal PC motherboard compared to this Panda "PCI switch" based motherboard?
It's fancier and smaller
Does it use laptop memory?
yes only 1 slot up to 8gb as tested by me it came with 4gb I put this samsung ram in it
