I've just put together a new computer with the following specs: Case: Corsair Carbide Series 330R CPU: Core i7 4770 Mobo: AsRock Z87 Pro3 PSU: Corsair RM450 GPU: EVGA GeForce GT 630 2GB RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 32GB kit There's also one hard drive a Wifi card and some other minor...

Are there any similar 27" screens out there in the same price category and with comparable resolution? I'm looking for large screens for programming, so they don't need to have perfect color reproduction etc.

Since it looks like the case will support a regular ATX mobo the choice is a bit easier. I'm going for a board that has extra PCIe x8 slots, so that I can add an external enclosure if I end up using all the current disks. What I have now is: CPU: AMD FX-6100 Mobo: ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 RAM...

Does anyone know if the following board support the AMD FX-6100 CPU: http://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/motherboard/Opteron3000/SR56x0/H8SML-i.cfm I need a mobo for this CPU that supports ECC memory, is Micro-ATX form factor and has two 1GbE ports.

I've changed my mind about my new setup and I'm getting two servers instead of one of which one is a dedicated NAS. This simplifies disk management among other things. I've decided on the following case and need recommendations for CPU and Mobo...

Decided on the following: Case: http://www.xcase.co.uk/product-p/case-316-pro.htm PSU: F.S.P 2U 600W Single 80+ Mobo: SuperMicro X9SCi-LN4F CPU: Xeon E3-1220v2 RAM: 32GB DDR3 ECC SAS card: 2 x LSI SAS 9211-8i HBA This adds up to a total of 1998 euros with shipping from X-Case. I'll...

I would like a case that's fairly silent, so a 1U with high RPM fans is probably out of the question.

I'm building a NAS server. I have an external 16-bay enclosure and the required RAID card for it. I'm looking at recommendations for the server part. My current idea is to get the following components: 1. Intel Core i3-3250 CPU 2. SuperMicro MBD-X9SCM-IIF Micro ATX mobo 3. Kingston...

I currently have two Sun Fire X2100 M2 servers, but these sound like jet engines, so I'm thinking about getting rid of them even though they are extremely reliable. I'm essentially looking for something along the following lines: 1. Rack mountable silent chassis 2. Quality PSU 2. ECC memory...

I've had so many people contacting me about parting this sale, so I'll go for it. If you want a specific component feel free to offer something for it. Keep in mind that I do expect the individual parts to add up to what I'm asking for the whole...

My experience is with Areca and Adaptec. Areca has at least dedicated chip support for RAID6 computations.

I'm selling the following system that I've used for coding: Case: Thermaltake V9 Black Edition (VJ400G1N2Z) PSU: Corsair 620HX CPU: Intel Core i7-920 Cooler: XIGMATEK Dark Knight S1283V Mobo: Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4P RAM: 12GB (6x2GB Corsair HX3X12G1600C9) HDD: WD Black 640GB (WD6401AALS) GPU: MSI...

Yet, cheap ($300-$500) dedicated controllers seems to beat the crap out of a fairly modern CPU when running RAID6 in terms of raw throughput. However, as you implied, storage systems seem to be moving towards providing more features through more complex file systems. Since the file system is...

I find it funny that living in the states now right in the center of a major city (3 blocks from city hall...), I have a slower internet connection than I had back in 1998 while still living in Helsinki, Finland. The only other option here is cable.

For almost any home usage software RAID will be more than enough in terms of performance. As has been said here, by far the biggest benefit of hardware RAID is when drives break, you need to add more drives or you need to upgrade hardware, e.g. the controller. This is typically just made to be...

I'm curious why anyone would consider a 1GB SSD? You can put your OS on an SSD if you need quick boot times. SSDs are great for accessing lots of random small files. However, you get the same effect by having lots of RAM, since after the initial access the OS will cache the files, so that you...

To begin with, you're comparing the string "answer" to a number and not the variable answer.

Meanwhile in central Philadelphia, I can choose between Comcast cable or Verizon 4/1 DSL. US infrastructure sucks. I wouldn't mind sharing that feeling either.

OK. Seems like I have a tough choice to make. Thanks for the suggestions.

So more waiting then before getting a new phone... :)

One thing with the old Pentium line of CPUs was that they were easy to understand and thus fine tuning code for them was fairly simple and it was often done. For the Pentium Pro architecture this was much harder, which is why most people just concentrated on the 4-1-1 instruction prefetching and...

Hmm... I guess I just have to live with them. I'm just a bit skeptical of them, since the chips barely get warm and you can't see what parts they are using, since the whole stick is covered by the heat spreader.

Anyone with knowledge about antennas know if this is mainly a chip issue or also an antenna issue? A soft modem could be loaded with whatever firmware it needs to connect, so if that's the case then the Tegra 4 could be the solution.

Has anyone checked what the current status of TSX support is in glibc on Linux? AFAIK they had some issues with some of the more obscure requirements of the POSIX threads standard. This is something where Haswell might provide some immediate performance improvements on certain workloads under Linux.

Yup, libraries are still a major issue for Python 3, so stick with Python 2. Let me add one language for .NET to the mix: F# :)

Haha, that might be a good idea.

(BTW, a lot of the stuff that Intel introduced in their CPUs had already been present in IBM mainframes for a decade...)

Only problem with the Pentium Pro back when it debuted was that writing efficient assembler for the old Pentium meant that the programmer had to deal with the instruction scheduling manually by making sure that the A/B pipelines where full. With the Pentium Pro, it was all about maximizing...

Looks pretty good. Though it has that heat spreader as a cosmetic gimmick. :)

Updated the configuration again. I think I have something final here unless I have the wrong impression about the keyboard. Thanks a ton for all the help.

I used to love Keytronics from the early 90's, so I was trying to find a keyboard with a similar feel, which mechanical keyboards supposedly have. Regarding Dell's support, I don't have trouble troubleshooting issues myself. I do know how to put a computer together, having built my first one in...

You are right, though most people doing OpenGL under linux for practical use are working with OpenGL 3, since that's the highest supported by open source drivers. I was just under the impression that many features need hardware support and that the newer OpenGL releases would require specific...

I've updated the configuration in the link in my original post. I don't think it has any weak spots anymore, since GPU performance is not an issue. I have a hard time seeing why I should invest in a brand computer like a Dell workstation, except for maybe quick support. If anyone has any...

I'm looking for recommendations for a reliable 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3-1600 kit. Preferably one without a heat spreader and other cosmetic gimmicks. It looks like Samsung only has 4GB sticks (I was thinking of these), so they will not work, since I might need to upgrade to 32GB of RAM and mobo only...

Does anyone know if any manufacturers have universal LTE chips coming out soon? I currently have a 3 year old smartphone and I've been reluctant to upgrade. I have SIMs for both one US and two European telcos that I use depending on where I am. Problem is getting a phone that would be able to...

I remember having an Abit BP6 with two Celerons. I don't remember precisely what the overclocks where, but the system was ridiculously fast for what it cost. Being able to get a multiprocessor rig back then for next to nothing was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, my sister's hamster got...

Interesting. I was looking at Wikipedia some weeks ago and it only listed OpenGL 4.3&4.4 for the 660 and up. Seems like the drivers are getting new features, so it's not a hardware limitation.

It's actually fairly easy to also deanonymize Tor-services without compromising the host. A pretty good talk about this was given at the Oakland conference this year. The paper is the following: Trawling for Tor Hidden Services: Detection, Measurement, Deanonymization, Alex Biryukov (University...
