| 2008/12/4-10 [Computer/HW/CPU, Computer/HW/Drives] UID:52163 Activity:nil | 12/4 A question to you old crufy alumni: So lately we've suggested
VMs, and been asked why it's necessary. We've suggested top-of-the-line
hardware and been told we don't need that much power. So I'd like to
ask -- what exactly do you think the CSUA is supposed to _be_?
\_ Noone said VMs weren't needed. They suggested you use the

files (except for ServerName). But on one, if a CGI script takes
longer than 300 seconds, it times out. The other, not. Why is that?
\_ Perhaps network equipment configuration. Or try comparing settings
in /proc/sys/net.
\_ I ran /sbin/sysctl -a | grep tcp, all settings are the same.

rated at the same speed as Pentium D dual core (but still naturally
lower than Core 2 Duo)

available on http://mwave.com for $250 (zipzoomfly has been advertising $295+
for several weeks, newegg doesn't have it)
\_ Nooo! It's all about the E6600! /me rubs his E6600 all over his
pale, naked body.
\_ Well the E6600 is somewhat faster than the 4600+. A fairer

| 2006/9/10-12 [Computer/HW/Drives, Computer/HW/CPU] UID:44341 Activity:nil | 9/11 For those who run his/her own server. Has any of you tried to run a
fanless system that uses AMD Operon or Pentium M that is clocked more
than 1GHz? where to get chassis like these? can't find it at Fry's.
\_ No, but I have a fanless 800 MHz Via C3, with a big Zalman heatsink.
Got the CPU on ebay for about $50 and got the heatsink (CNPS-6000AlCu
Flower Cooler) from http://endpcnoise.com for about $40.. Runs great.

| 2006/8/30-9/3 [Computer/HW/Memory, Computer/HW/CPU] UID:44208 Activity:nil | 8/30 I just configured a Dell XPS M1710 with the 2.0-GHz 4MB-cache
Core 2 Duo with WinXP Pro and 3 years warranty. $3,106 after tax!
Dang, some rich kids will be spending bux on their computer for
undergrad WoW.
\_ Excuse my lameness, but it this faster than a 3GHz Pentium D ?
I know MHz doesn't matter anymore, but it doesn't feel right.

got one. If they still have some, you can request a "one day hold".

\_ I'm still wondering what use everyone has for a CPU like this that
a CPU at half the cost won't do. I understand this is the bang for
the buck price point. What's all that bang for anyway?

| 2006/7/25-28 [Computer/HW/CPU] UID:43795 Activity:nil | 7/25 I want to buy a quiet PC. It doesn't have to be completely silent,
just quieter than the one I have now (something I could put in a
bedroom and still fall asleep). Can someone recommend a prebuilt
but configurable computer (Dell etc) that isn't loud? I've seen some
websites like http://silentpcreview.com but those seem very focused on
building your own system, which I don't have time to deal with right

it is unbearable to put on my laptop, even when it is idling.
In addition the battery lasts only 2 hours at max, when only
5% of the CPU is used. In contrast, my 1.5GHz Pentium M is
pretty cool, and lasts 2.5 hours with a smaller battery. My G4
is also really really cool and lasts almost 4 hours. What the
