What the heck is turbo speed?

Edit: I was also going to make a joke about using 4 cores to browse facebook... but given the shenanigans the Facebook app does on Android... maybe you will need all 4 cores

[djcyry]

At this moment i dont need any resourse or update for this pc only 3 years old whit it ...

[bitspook]

aside from the amount of memory slipping under standard, it'll do its job fine.

You know that moment when the stars start streaking past you? That.

I am planning to build a NAS server. Any suggestions? Thinking about using a 4U server chassis with hot swap drive bays.

[bitspook]

?

Sooo... 100% thought that that was a troll... hot swaps... 4U chassis...

but, then... Genius!

Look at that thing; hardcore.

[Kowlin]

Eehhh... My NAS solution is a single drive Synology DS112j with a 2TB WD green... For a single core 1.1Ghz... It's slow... I rarely touch it beyond my music library.

Anyways I did a ton of research on the Xeon cpu. And my question that remains is a odd one. Can it work without a microcode update. That's the only thing I'm scared off.

[a_5mith]

Would like to point out I wasn't listening to that Jazzy Christmas playlist... :squirrel:

[bitspook]

Ack!

my hardware on another screen inside a screen... SCREENCEPTION.

[julian]

Hahaha ah yes, Spotify's holiday playlists... they're actually not bad.

[Kowlin]

86 posts already?! Anyhow, I've refused to do this. But oh well, here you can see my mess I call a desktop.

And as a extra, you can see a neat fully OEM Acer server who's worth looking at.

[julian]

Don't know what it is with yellow mobos, they always scream "old pc" to me

[Kowlin]

well, since it is. Thats why, its a HP IPIBL-LB Codename Benicia motherboard, it was mostly for desktops back in 2007-2008. And I have to update this outdated junk to support a Xeon CPU, fun stuff ^_^. Hope I don't brick it.
