En février 99, après avoir lu un article sur www.kikumaru.jp qui relatait la possibilité de transformer n'importe quel Celeron Slot1 en Bi-proc en réactivant l'APIC responsable du SMP. Je décidais d'acheter deux Celeron slot 1 300A et de les modifier. Mauvaise idée, car j'ai surestimé mes capacités de soudure en ultra-cms. www.msi.comà eut la bonne Idée de fabriquer des adaptateurs MSI MS-6905 compatible Bi-proc mais non disponible en France à l'époque.à Unà mois et 330 francs plus tard, je reçois d'Allemagne les deux précieuses pièces (merci www.citosoft.com et MSI Allemagne (quel idiot ces Français, ZUT à MSI France et MSI Angleterre !), le temps de vendre mes 300A slot 1 et de racheter des PPGA 370 et NT4 en multi-processing me voila. Tout ça pour vous dire que il est vrai que selon les applications, le gain de performances n'est pas stupéfiant (des fois 90% ;-)) mais que le sentiment de puissance est bien la, NT ne semble plus d'essoufler quel que soit le nombre d'applications ouvertes, seul le disque dur reste la ressource critique qui freine les performances de l'ensemble (IBM UDMA 7200 tr/min). Toute les applications semblent bénéficier dans une certaine mesure de ce deuxième coeur d'après mes observations.
La facture s'élève à (Février 99)
| 1 DFI P2XBL/D | 1154 FRF | |
| 2 Celeron PPGA 300A | 2x 470 FRF | |
| 2 Adaptateurs MSI 6905 (ppga->slot1) |  | 330 FRF avec le port |
| 2 ventilateurs STANDARD | 2x 60 FRF | |
| Total ce qui restait le prix d'un P2 300 avec 1 carte mère. | 2544 FRF |
Aujourd'hui, une Abit BP6 et le tour est joué (1140 FRF +2 cpu).
Tenter donc l'aventure si vos besoins en calculs pure sont important, c'est la meilleur affaire de la décennie et Intel ne referra pas deux fois la même erreur.

4 gigabytes of RAM, yes but not on 32bits system

"To address 4GB of memory you need 32 bits of address bus. (Assuming individual bytes are addressable.) This gives us a problem - the same problem that IBM faced when designing the original PC. You tend to want to have more than just memory in a computer - you need things like graphics cards and hard disks to be accessible to the computer in order for it to be able to use them. So just as the original PC had to carve up the 8086's 1MB addressing range into memory (640K) and 'other' (384K), the same problem exists today if you want to fit memory and devices into a 32-bit address range: not all of the available 4GB of address space can be given over to memory."

Asus SABERTOOTH X79 USB BIOS Flashback Filename

Latest BIOS can be downloaded from ASUS Service Site (ASUSTeK Computer Inc.)
The trick for the Asus SABERTOOTH X79 is to name the file correctly! the support of Asus did not understand my question and was not able to answer under which filename you have to save the bios, hence this small post.
When you’ll download the latest bios version from ASUS Service Site (ASUSTeK Computer Inc.), you’ll end up with a file name like this one: SABERTOOTH-X79-ASUS-0906.ROM for example
Rename the file to SABERX79.ROM before copying it on the USB disk or it wont be recognized by the bios flashback function.
How did I find this? brute forcing the file name by trying something like 25 filename and having luck : ridiculous.
Other than definitely a great mainboard and quite cheap if you consider the number of features: USB3, SATA-6, UEFI Bios, PCI 3.0

Some notes about my experience using the Raspberry Pi model B…and you get it running Linux Debian on it!
The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It’s a capable little PC which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays high-definition video. We want to see it being used by kids all over the world to learn programming.
[…]
We don’t think that the Raspberry Pi is a fix to all of the world’s computing issues; we do believe that we can be a catalyst. We want to see cheap, accessible, programmable computers everywhere; we actively encourage other companies to clone what we’re doing. We want to break the paradigm where without spending hundreds of pounds on a PC, families can’t use the internet. We want owning a truly personal computer to be normal for children. We think that 2012 is going to be a very exciting year. [About Raspberry PI]

2 weeks ago, a post on Google's official blog announced a project that allows users to step inside the private world of its data centers. For the first time, the company's impressive efficiency records and green ethos have been given a face in the form of the stunning photographs by Connie Zhou and the Street View-able hallways of the Lenoir facility in North Carolina...

Radiator
Installing the ventilator: Attention, with the kit of my brother (bought on www.ebay.de ) we receive a SANFU radiator with a Paps ventilator mounted on it. After installing everything, we try the system: 65°C and the system reboot (35°C in room)....in fact the ventilator was extracting air and not pushing fresh air on the radiator. I reversed the air flow and as a result we get 52°C even in BURN mode....(True XP2800+ with an Innovatek cool 3.0)

click here to hear my system running on <1 Fan> <2 Fans> <No Fan>
Rating
- A must for ears, so quiet and so easy to install
(only if you reduce voltage of fans from 12V to 5V as on PC2). - I recommend you a middle or big tower to install everything inside (as on PC1)
- I recommend you to choose the smallest radiator available (the senfu on PC1 provide good performance at a noise level you can not hear!!!!)
- Expensive? yes¨but:
1. You can use part during years...You must admit that this is not the case with your air cooling radiator. For example: forget you Alpha pal 6035 with your latest XP 3000, it is only validated till 1500MHz, it cost me alone 50â?¬
2. You can choose a less expensive radiator, or buy an old one from an old car, but you will have to cleaned it properly.
3. You do not need 2 or 3 ventilators, one is enough. - Maintenance? every 6 months check the coolant.
