October 2019

Over the weekend the PSU in my desktop at home decided to shit itself.  In doing so, it started to burn/melt the 4 pin CPU connector on the board.  Now running a Pentium Dual Core E5200 at home just so I can print and check email.  It isn’t fast enough to actually handle connecting to the VPN at work so I’ll have to use the spare sales laptop for now

Well,

I am giving up on the KCMA-D8 boards.  Returned the last one and I will be getting an Inventec B800GF0.  Will take more RAM, has 10G networking, and uses Xeons instead of Opterons.  Cheaper too.  Of course it will have its own issues, but what doesn’t anymore?
