Some of these machines are truly just insane...

I wish I could afford a super nice box like that.

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 me that baby, as well.


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
Athlon 64 - compile bash 59s

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...
