[Build Ready] AMD-FX Budget(ish) build by TemperingPickin buildapc

[–]whitehat2k9 1 point2 points ago

Board looks fine. I'm running an ASRock board myself (granted, it's Intel) and couldn't be happier with it.

Whether or not 16GB is enough is really up to you. How much RAM do you plan on allocating to these VMs? How many VMs will be running at once? If you give each of the three VM 4GB of RAM, that's 12GB, which still gives you 4GB for the host system. Most consumer boards only support 32GB, so since RAM is cheap right now you might as well just go and max it out now and not worry about it later.

The AMD FX series is indeed a good choice for heavy virtualization and server workloads. See this Phoronix article: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_1204_virt&num=8

Overall, the AMD Bulldozer based system performed very close (within a few percentage points) of a much more expensive Sandy Bridge-E system. This is where the SMT-based architecture of Bulldozer really shines.

You will actually need to be a bit wary of your choice of motherboard if you intend on using VT-d/virtualized IOMMU features, e.g. for Xen HVM. Asus AMD boards are known to be iffy. In particular, the Crosshair V formula used in the Phoronix article had issues with Xen HVM. I don't know whether or not this has been resolved or if the bug also affects the Sabertooth board, but I've heard good things about ASRock boards.

Don't listen to all the gamers trying to recommend you an Intel i7-3770K. First of all, the 3770K is NOT a workstation-oriented CPU, as it does not support VT-d, which you will need for Xen HVM or any other hardware-assisted virtualization solution. If you wanted Intel you would need a non-K CPU, e.g. the i7-3770.

Hope this helps. I also do a lot of VM work on my rig so feel free to PM me with any questions.

It must be bad enough for them, having a DevOps guy as their father.

Best Mini-ITX board for gaming? by ruthless_apricotin gamingpc

[–]whitehat2k9 0 points1 point ago

ASrock Z77E-ITX. I currently have this board in my main rig/workstation paired with a GTX 560. It's a great little combo.

Recommended upgrades for a current build. by Sporkmanin gamingpc

[–]whitehat2k9 0 points1 point ago

Yes, a RAMdisk is theoretically faster due to the much higher bandwidth of DRAM, but you would be very, very hard-pressed to notice any real-world performance difference.

But RAMdisks are irrelevant when you have an SSD.

Yeah, the pink screen bug is really annoying. I've had to switch off DXVA and use software H.264 decode instead.

What trivial act would you like to ban or make illegal? Personally, I would like to outlaw public speakers who start off by saying, "I can't hear you!" or "Let's try that again!" by danger_mcboomin AskReddit

I get terrified when people fuck my burritos and replace the filling with their cum.

How is SAMSUNG's RAM so thin!? I think it'd be great for a HTPC build, as wires would have more wiggle room. by bobothetwitin buildapc

[–]whitehat2k9 1 point2 points ago

It's just using a low-profile PCB. All you really need is room for the IC chips since everything else is miniaturized enough. The heat produced by modern DIMMs is more or less negligible so the fancy heatsinks are unnecessary too.

What's that one tank you will never ever sell? by LRafolsin WorldofTanks

After toxygen001's comment about the E-75 being "95 tons of rolling anal rape," I will never read that expression the same way again.

The KV-1 with the new 57mm gun is also ridiculously fun to play. Barring the obvious premium advantages of the Churchill, the KV-1 also gives that tank a run for its money.

SU-85. The Tier 7 107mm gun rapes face in Tier <=6 battles, and is still powerful enough to put some hurt on higher tier tanks.

Buying a wet ammo rack helps somewhat, but yeah, definitely try to avoid getting shot in the side.

Yep. Though in all seriousness, what else would they do? Look it up in a reference book? Search on...Bing?
