    Linux or Windows Server Using AMD Processor

    I've run CentOS6 on a home server with a Kabini board (E1-2100) for a good while with zero issues, pretty nice low power setup. Ran RHEL6 on a Phenom X6 1055t for a long while, again no problems. Also, at work, we've had different Sun and IBM machines with various Opterons over long periods...

    Is there ANY reason to buy an AMD chip?

    Reading these types of threads that degrade into silly sniping is always painful and only proves out that there are two types of people: Those that are worth talking to and those that aren't. The best approach is to simply ignore the people that aren't worth talking to. That's what I...

    Anyone OCing a new X3

    Yes, pretty much. If you count everyday use of a PC as using e-mail, surfing the web, working with MS Office type documents, burning CDs, watching DVDs, and playing solitaire...then yes, using Windows on a PC is silly when there are other operating systems that cost nothing, aren't subject to...

    Anyone OCing a new X3

    In regards to this 'triple core controversy', anyone with any inkling of a computer science or engineering background would be able to tell you that: a) When running 3 tasks simultaneously a 3 processor machine will always be faster than a 2 processor machine if the processors in question are...

    New Build

    If you truly gave up on this thread then you wouldn't be replying here still trying to give the guy 'advice'. One piece of advice to you - don't insult people over their own purchasing decisions. It's their money, not yours. Perhaps a waste of some small amount of money. A waste of...

    My 5000BE arrived today.....

    Unfortunately the temperature monitoring for Brisbanes is broken in Linux (or the Brisbane temp sensor is simply broken, so I've heard), so I can't get any accurate readings with an OS running at the moment. That being said, I'm running F@H on both cores and after doing that, if I boot into the...

    My 5000BE arrived today.....

    I just invested in one of these as well (have yet to update my sig). Very, very happy with it. I've got a different MB than you two (Asus M2N SLI Deluxe), but I'm running stock volts with a 14x215 setting for 3.01GHz. Haven't tried it under Windows yet, but it flies on Linux thus far -...

    My Old School Computer

    Actually, I just thought it was a fun comparison bringing the really old stuff into it. And that's why I brought it up in a techie oriented computer forum - figuring other people here would have some appreciation of it, not so I could be insulted by some jackass.

    My Old School Computer

    I got a chuckle after seeing that system referred to as old school, and very first computer. I stumbled upon my very first computer the other day too- Case: Custom PSU: Custom Motherboard: Custom CPU: MOS 6502 at 1.79Mhz RAM: 16KB HSF: None required GPU: GTIA chip HD: Atari 410 tape...

    AMD processor for my GF

    I'd say the X2 4800+ as it's the newer Brisbane core with less power draw, and it's midway in the pack for both price and speed. I'm assuming top end processor performance is not what your girlfriend is most concerned with. :)

    Love your socket 754?

    Hey folks, just dropping in to say hi. Got my S754 setup in January of '04 and it's been running strong since. Some mild updates to it in the interim four years...3000+ Newcastle to 3200+ Venice, and GeForce4 Ti 4200 to 6600GT. It's been a 64-bit Linux setup almost its entire life, but the...
