    Minecraft Glitches: What have you experienced?

    I'll have to go back and see if pictures still exist in my storage somewhere, but long time ago I got a pirated copy of minecraft, eventu'ally getting it officially for my bday, and importing the world. My machine at the time was a Compaq D510 that had a 1.4 or 1.6ghz 2nd gen pentium 4. I...

    Setting Up Home Dial-Up | Worth the Investment?

    This is cool and I have seen things like this before. Honestly half of me just wants to use modem chips as sound cards. I know people are doing, but I have no idea how. Or set up a synchronet BBS for the house to use as a whiteboard.

    Need info on eeePC Gen 1 Processor / Mobo

    Not only do I highly doubt that, based on resources between the CPU's, tests, and personal use of them, plus it having actual L2 where the board I have only has L1, it def could do it. Esp on openBSD. My issue though is my 2 N270's need bios updates and it has been the biggest pain in my butt...

    Need info on eeePC Gen 1 Processor / Mobo

    That sounds like its the one. If the comparison is to an N270, which I happen to know WOULD do this job, then I will be looking to another machine.

    I need to build a security camera rig for a friends house. We're building window bars for him as he has gotten break ins and we want to be able to watch and make sure nothing stupid happens. I don't have a budget is the thing, neither does he. So I have a board that I can enamel / epoxy for...

    I have been demoing Gentoo with Redcore linux the last little bit. As much as I like it, as much as it does 'just work', I am going to f up the text install of normal gentoo and I WILL forget something. I don't want this to be a "I install Gentoo Thread". So instead of framing via LXC and...

    No I mean per slot. One machine can only do 1GB dimms per slot, and I don't think it can do ECC, but the other one CAN do ECC, so I know it will do at least 8GB. Less than you think! Other users like me are working day and night to support the platform, and even some are designing and...

    Unironically you can (at 1/4 res) edit 4K footage on a G5 quad. OpenFirmware had to leave a lot on the table, and many capabilities of the system are just unknown or hidden. The DDR2 systems and 8 slot systems can be similar, but certain configs allow up to 16 or 24GB of ram. Supposedly you...

    The IDE drive is JUST for swap. The systems each boot off either an SSD or a WD Velociraptor, and the storage will be in a 500GB laptop drive. All the IDE does is act like ram. One machine can do 1GB max per slot, the other can do 2GB. OH, no, that would not be worth the effort.

    Actually I have been thinking about this since earlier. I guess this should be posted. Last night as I was diagnosing potentially needing to build a kernel, which would be sorta new to me as well, for a Mac Pro 6,1, I thought maybe before I go full ham with the G5 part of the build I should...

    My family is somewhat autistic. Even though I'm 30, its sorta rough to not have those things in my life. As well, I'd rather not pay out the butt for comcast VOIP when I can just do it myself. Added benefit of phone jack data. I never got to use dialup, and some machines I own can only...

    I have a fondness for PowerPC. When i was a kid I had access to G3 macs in school. They were everywhere. Middleschool had G5's. Then, one day in 2009, they all disappeared, replaced with random Pentium 4's and Core 2's. Later in life I got the opportunity to get some powerbooks, and later...

    I would put this in the apple section, but to be honest, the problem I have is with the GPU itself. This is more an investigation of firmware, PCIe calls, and all that stuff, in order to solve hard crashes, not "My Mac Brokie". So heres the deal. I have been optimizing my space since coming...

    2690V2 VS 2698V2, Worth Exchanging Cores for Clockrate? -- 2013 Mac Pro

    2690V2 VS 2698V2, Worth Exchanging Cores for Clockrate? -- 2013 Mac Pro

    It can't be overclocked unfortunately. That's what the Asus board was good for, but the VRM's got about as hot as the CPU did. It wasn't worth it. That's why I am wondering about the 2698v2. I think I can do VCE, but not on MacOS.

    2690V2 VS 2698V2, Worth Exchanging Cores for Clockrate? -- 2013 Mac Pro

    I have a pretty basic question. I have a Mac Pro 2013 that I am going to be using for streaming and content creation. I know the SSD can be written to faster, and I can get faster blender runs, but its largely thru brute force CPU clock rate. The 2690V2 is a 10 core cpu that settles at 3ghz...

    Retro Assistance: Intel SL5QW P3-1.1Ghz on ABIT BE6.

    First criteria should be knowing all your jumpers. Where are they, what do they do. If you can set the board to the minimum settings to just run the CPU, then you got something going. Next try would be to raise FSB, and make sure none of your memory settings get flipped. I have an intel...
