D.Hayden Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Sig, which AMD CPU do you have, and what OS is running on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 Sigh... I no longer have the AMD running here at home since the rebuild in December. Unfortunately, I had this system rebuilt BEFORE all this technical academics came at me, and I would've done things much differently had I known what know (or feel) NOW. But my system was about to fail completely at the time and badly needed upgrading and a fix. I had no choice--it was unstable and dying. Just bad timing was all with regard to the sudden education. I USED to have (and still have)(in another system I'm rebuilding) an AMD K6-2 (350) w/3D Now! Old, yes, but in 1998 and it was terrific. I'm an Intel mobo+chip user right now but would like to re-upgrade next year again and revert back to AMD and a whole new Mboard. Sure as heck I need a newer second HDD, too! But I digress. So, in answer to your question, I'd like to go AMD next year. I could always sell the new Intel set that I just bought... or get serious about the P2P pair here at the house and use the Intel set for THAT...... Meanwhile, I'm researching which Mboard would perform well with which AMD chip. Suggestions, perhaps...? PS--The OS is WinXP-Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All ports are copper. Switch is tolerant to resets/reboots, usually it does not need any maintenance or configuration. One deficiency - it is not fully non-blocking, the internal banchwidth is less than the sum of the port throughput. Typical message roundtrip latency is between 100 and 200 microseconds for 64 byte messages. Maximum measured NetPIPE TCP/IP bandwidth is 90 Mbps for Fast Ethernet and 340 Mbps for Gigabit Ethernet. Supplier: RackSaver Myrinet connects 40 'a' nodes. Each of these nodes has a Myrinet-2000 card (M3F-PCI64B-2) connected by a copper cable to the cross-bar switch. Routing logic is on the cards themselves so the switch is merely an interconnect with an "On/Off" switch. Typical message roundtrip latency is between 9 and 11 microseconds for 64 byte messages. Maximum measured NetPIPE MPI bandwidth is 460 Mbps. Supplier: Myricom Inc.

SiG Lady Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 Oooooo... an Asus board... Oooooo... I've been looking at Asus seriously these days..... Nik-- I was researching some Corsair RAM tonight and they have 2GB sticks... the XMS2 "Twin" series and even in their desktop series as well. More research may indicate that they're not the only ones with product at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 wide45, we are the last of the Mohicans... Machine ID: 69 Model name: Power Macintosh 8500 series Processor info: PowerPC G4 Machine speed: 450 MHz BTW, you can't drag and drop the System Profiler info into the Fast Reply text area. I don't know why it says I have an 8500. The badge says 8600/300. I replaced the daughterboard with an accelerator and I've got a hack running that lets me use 9.2.2, so I'm not surprised the thing has an identity crisis.

sargenv Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 The Govt agency I work for seems to use ASUS boards exclusively. We used Asus boards with all of our P3's and now use ASUS P48533's with 2.4 Ghz P4 Chips and a half gig of RAM. They run Win XP-PRO and are pretty zippy machines. They have Sony 12x cd-burners so that the users have no reason not to back up their data. They seem to be nice stable machines.. Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they are both in use. I'll probably be getting something in the 2.8 Ghz range when I upgrade.. Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I don't know why it says I have an 8500. The badge says 8600/300. Hey Erik, I have a third party processor upgrade in my G4 mini-tower and it doesn’t recognize the actual speed the proc is strapped to, it just picks the nearest equivalent in it‘s repertoire. Never seen an upgraded Mac profile proc speed correctly with 3rd party processor kits in it so it’s no surprise that it thinks it’s somebody else too. -- Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
