    Nearly One-Fifth of the U.S. Can’t Watch Online HD Video

    I refuse to run Windows and there are many streaming video apps (especially Silverlight and some Flash) that won't work on Linux. Vimeo is one example.

    OC and extra heat

    Power goes up linearly with frequency and with the square of the voltage. You do the math. My overclocked FX8150 heats up my office nicely (by at least 10C) if I run Prime overnight.

    Different kinds of ECC memory

    I bought the 4GB Elpida C DIMMs from Directron. They're low voltage RAM, 1.35V nominally (but OK for 1.5V), and I overvolted them to 1.45 and run them at 1866 CL10. Works nicely. Yeah they have a temperature sensor on the module but the Linux kernel still doesn't have a driver for it :( Find...

    Options for 8 GB ECC UDIMM sticks?

    Th 4GB Kingston DIMMs I run are rated at 1.35V nominal to 1.5V. Check the data sheet for the DIMMs. It's quite probable that they'll run at up to 1.5V.

    Will ECC work with FX4100?

    I run ECC RAM on a Crosshair V with FX-8150. Kingston low voltage 1333 overclocked to 1866 at 1.45V. All Bulldozer CPUs support ECC but the BIOS has to turn it on.

    Man leaves AMD after doing very little for some time.

    At least he managed to screw up the Bulldozer launch by creating sky high expectations and never correcting the BS spread by some of his crew.

    Crosshair V Problems / Bugs / Other Things / *READ BEFORE YOU BUY*

    It's working for me but I'm still at the overclocking stage - I only finished the build (FX-8150) a couple of days ago. So no virtualization yet. But at least ECC memory (16GB Kingston KVR1333D3E9S/4GEC) and lm-sensors work well, except for the temp sensors on the DIMMs. There is allegedly a...
