| simcop2387-tv | 512mb ram, 1.1gb swap jalex, nah just get a mexican from homedepot |
| rmah | that's puny memory simcop2387-tv: my keychain has more memory than that |
| simcop2387-tv | rmah, its scraped together out of 10 year old parts except the graphics card which is newer for xvmc and 3ed 3d* |
| crunge | jalex: I recently upgraded my server to an Athlon64 X2... I need to get distcc going on all my boxen now |
| jalex | aww man, I like Mexicans...neighbor kids still seem like a better option =) X2 - nice ? Not convinced to go intell duo? |
| simcop2387-tv | jalex, depends on how much the neighbor kids think they can get you for |
| rmah | I hate kids |
| crunge | jalex: I've bought intel for years just because it was what I was familiar with. Decided I'd give the AMD offerings a try jalex: my company is all over the Core 2 Duo stuff |
| jalex | I have an XP 1900+ in the basement that truly competes against the Xeon 2ghz (same amt ram) dell precision I have next to it. although the dell's are so dang quiet...my pc's all sound like jets taking off. |
| rmah | jalex: so you're saying that dell's are good boxes? |
| t35t0r | i love the way the dell sounds when it starts up sounds like a jet engine but then it's silent |
| crunge | I can't run ACPI on my A64X2 boards :( |
| jalex | rmah: I can't easily beat their sound rating by building my own, but mine was definitely a lot cheaper |
| simcop2387-tv | jalex, the athlon xp's are definately nice procs for their era crunge, why not? |
| crunge | simcop2387-tv: not quite sure. ASUS m2npv-vm boards with nForce chipsets. If I boot without acpi=off it'll freeze randomly, usually during the boot process |
| jalex | crunge: probably a known nforce chipset problem with linux |
| simcop2387-tv | crunge, weird crunge, i went via because of the strange issues with nforce still works well in my desktop |
| crunge | simcop2387-tv: nice boards for $100... onboard Gb, DSUB/DVI/Composite/RCA video, firewire, 6 channel audio, etc |
| jalex | I went to an Apple laptop because it has 'Macsaber' so I can wave my expensive hardware around like a light saber to make sounds. |
| rmah | haha jalex++ |
| simcop2387-tv | haha |
| crunge | jalex: can you run kismet on OSX? |
| jalex | kismet is some sniffer thing..it's way more fun to just wave the laptop around like a light saber. I jsut need to figure out how to disable the 'sleep on lid closing' feature |
| simcop2387-tv | LisaLaptop, hey! |
| jalex | makes it hard to wield |
| crunge | jalex: yeah, but it talks in a computer voice if you've got festival support... it could be like a protocol droid or something, provided you're within range of an AP |
