Some of these machines are truly just insane...

I installed gentoo on an Athlon XP 2000+ with 256megs of ram a few days ago, so I guess that's the most powerful comp I've installed gentoo on.
And for my next comp purchase (assuming my tax refund is decent), I'm REALLY contemplating getting my hands on a new AMD64 system.. |

Fastest at home is my new system that is building right now:
AMD64 3200+
1GB Corsair
2x160GB Seagate SATA
Fastest at work is:
2xXeon 2.6GB
1GB Ram
6x76GB RAID5
I keep trying to convince the boss to let me install it on our IBM RS/6000. . . |

Thats almost exactly what I have... AMD 64 3200+, Corsair 1 gb XMS, and 2x160 GB hitachi SATA RAID0 & 1 80 GB Deskstar as the OS
Sweet isn't it?
I'm still trying to get my stupid Radeon 9800 Pro to work in something OTHER than VESA.... I wish I knew what I know now about nVidia vs ATI & Linux when I ordered this system.... |

|
|
Well.. not much to brag about really... it's only a hobby, so my specs are:
first machine:
dual p3-866@900/1GB ram/SCSI setup
second:
dual AMD MP 2800+/2GB ram/more than 700 GB total storage so far, aiming to reach more than 1 TB
First one is the current operating firewall/web server/ftp server/ssh server/mail server/mysql server
the idea was to switch it for the second one, which will also be running VMWare sessions for labtesting of software + VM'ed services related to internet.. |

I do.. Crucial's still awesome... alas just not as sexy as Corsair with its heat speaders. Last I looked, Crucial were all still plain looking (alas high quality!)..
Some people like looks too |

No, not just.... I still buy Crucial.
This one where I consider looks being important (too... performance is more important ) is my own personal hot rod with case window and all that
For servers and stuff for clients I support, I've been loyal to crucial

Installing on an 8-way Sun E4k right now... I'm gonna take it up to 12 way when I can afford more CPU boards. The box will take 16, except I want to keep a couple of boards for I/O... |

Come on guys (& gals) let's not post your joe average boxes here
Your Athlon XP / Pentium 4 isn't going to cut the mustard amongst the uber1337 Athlon 64 / Xeon / Sparc's ... I was really hoping for some hot rod action, instead I have the odd Celery and a couple of Athlons nipping at my toes.

I've got one of these babies and pitted it against a Dual Intel Xeon 2.40Ghz running Gentoo.
Dual Xeon - compile bash 1m 29s

I did help get Redhat going on an experimental supercomputer running some hyperthreaded Xeons... about 8 or so logical processors total, total of 6GB of RAM. Those aren't the "super" parts though Couldn't run Gentoo because there were some specific things from the vendor that kinda forced us to use Redhat.
My PC is a Barton at 2.2 GHz w/ a GB of PC3200. Good enough for now. In a couple years I'll be dropping some cash for a quad-processor... something, maybe a G6 or the next-gen AMD64s, who knows?
I'd like to know if Cray is ever thinking about Linux support. They could simply implement all the POSIX calls and get a clib going, but then again, POSIX doesn't cut it for a Cray at all. Oh well, so much for hoping for Linux there... |
