Re: ok let me be stupid

The 7xx's aren't tuned for one or the other before delivery. All 7xx's are
created equal. Unlike previous models, with the 7xx the good news you
_can't_ buy the wrong model for your business.

But the bad news...if you want a 7xx tweaked for better interactive
performance use, you must acquire the interactive performance feature (which
is a really an anti-governor card!). Be aware that installing this feature
not only gooses interactive performance, it also bumps your processor tier a
notch!
