File/Streaming Server

So I decided I want a file/streaming server and thought I could ask people for input. The question is two-fold, I need new hardware but also have to decide on the software. General conditions: - Streaming movies to android devices (all running Kit Kat) - so enough power to transcode a single...

Mainstream Z75/77 Boards

So the H77 boards allows to increase the multiplier by 4 over maximum turbo? In that case yep I don't see what a Z77 board would buy me.

Mainstream Z75/77 Boards

So since Haswell turned out pretty disappointing for desktop PCs, I've decided to instead go for a nice cheap IB chip now that vendors are getting rid of their old stock. Not even planning to OC more (so no K CPU) apart from increasing the multiplier; good enough performance and quiet is nicer...

15" work notebook

The thinkpads look like a good deal. As a programmer I can easily live without the best color reproduction, so that's not a problem. Seems like the T line has all I need and while it's certainly not the same as the old IBM line (if that still existed I wouldn't have to ask what notebook to...

15" work notebook

I need a new 15" laptop for work (which basically means programming). Non debatable requirements: 15"; 1920x1080 res Other things. Performance is nice, but not paramount (i.e. some ivy bridge i5 dual core is just fine), I don't need a gamer GPU, size and battery life are always nice but I can...

Lifespan question on SSD

Several people already estimated the WA for x25 g2 drives on the forum. Personally my 160gb desktop drive got a WA of somewhere around 3 and I was at the upper end of the range there. So yep a WA of 5 seems a reasonable, conservative assumption for any normal client load (and I do run some...

external hard drive to be used on osx lion, xp, and windows 7 - what format

Not really, I agree with Nothinman write speed for NTFS is abysmal under Linux - at least with the default settings, maybe you can hack some config or whatever. I'd stay away from exFAT because those are certainly the least used drivers of the three and I'd be at least a bit nervous there...

OCZ is developing junk

I think if we asked the general community here who made more useful posts you or Wendy, the result would be well pretty obvious and you wouldn't like it.

OCZ is developing junk

Sorry if I miss one side sentence in half a dozen posts full of hyperbole mostly without facts :p So if say a MB chipset turns out to be faulty you will all enlighten us how crappy <whoever manufacterer that sells the most MBs> is, instead of pointing at say Intel? Yep that makes clearly...

Yay. Had my first BSOD with Vertex 3 MI

"Yay I'm running an old firmware with known bugs that are fixed in newer versions and finally got one of those known bugs!" Umn yes congratulations - why exactly is this thread worthy?

No, you're just confusing SandForce (because as you'll note all of the above are firmware/controller problems) with OCZ which doesn't make any sense. Every other seller of SF drives has similar problems.. so yes, you irrationally focusing on only one - although the largest - doesn't show you...

OCZ is developing junk

Considering that the firmware doesn't have much to do with what flash is used, that doesn't make much sense. Case in point: Afaik there's no difference wrt to stability/compatibility between the different fw versions that's available now because of different flash.. b2t: 1k write cycles for...

Short Intel and AMD! ARM servers coming in!!!

Well Intel has said that they bet on netbook/tablet designs when creating the first Atoms (in some of Anands old articles about the first atom I think) and I really don't see how that was a smart move in retrospective. Because quite clearly netbooks are a dying breed and the only successful...

Short Intel and AMD! ARM servers coming in!!!

Well only if you assume everyone has infinite amount of work and cash available to them. Otherwise you have to prioritize your projects based on market projections (especially considering how long it takes to come up with an design and have the finished product ready to sell), i.e. not "What...

I totally agree there - RISC doesn't say anything about the performance (or even about the size of the ISA). But I think the rest of his post is valid even without postulating that. Increasing performance hardly scales linearly with power increases - out of order execution does cost power...
