The twenty-third bios update in two and three quarter years for the P9X79 Pro included this interesting summary; P9X79 PRO BIOS 4801 Enables 128GB(8*16GB) support by IM ( Intelligent Memory ) memory modules. A quick glance through the freshly updated QVL does show a vender (Memphis) has obtained app...
LemonPOS requires KDE because Qt is the GUI toolkit that it uses. Razon-qt is a lightweight desktop enviroment base on the Qt toolkit. Instructions for getting it onto a variety of distros is available on their webpage; http://razor-qt.org/. I've tried it on a couple of different occassions and it ...
I'm a professional video editor, Intel Core i7 3930K 3.2GHz Socket 2011 (6 core) Is it worth going to the X3970? It's about $400 more expensive than the 3930. As a business perhaps there are some tax write offs that might make the extra cost a little easier to swallow? Of course you still have to h...
I like the Secure Boot and REF options and I think I would like to implement them later this year. Just keep in mind that (as Forge noted) having a UEFI BIOS does not automatically mean you've got Secure Boot support. Check the motherboard manual... I have a ASUS P9X79 Pro board and the secure boot...
Ancient bookmark. Uses the more modern version of Blender although the very latest versions of Blender will have some minor differences. Seems to be still valid;
I've got eight 8GB Vengeance of the 1600 low profile variety (CML16GX3M2A1600C1) in my P9X79 Pro. For some reason my brain took the following statement to read that with all 8 memory slots populated, you were limited to how fast you can push your memory. Reading it again now my understanding is a li...
Only real difference I saw was the 10bit color processing. If you don't need AdobeRGB space, why not get the 2713HM? You are also not going to access that 10 bit color space without a graphics card that supports the format. That means you need a "professional" grade graphics card. Stop by...
Side note: I don't get all the hype about using blurays for backups. But for archivals of data that happens to also be backed up to another media (SSD, HDD, stone tablets), optical media can still have a place, if only a minor one. Plus, it stores flat and isn't bothered by static electricity or EM...
I have an eSATA external hard drive (Seagate) that I've never really been happy with. If I hooked it up to one of the eSATA ports on the back of the m/b, I had to enable an extra interface in the bios (jmicron if I remember correctly). That added extra time to the boot process. If the computer went ...
I see you booted from a "live CD". Was it a real cdrom or an image on a usb stick? I had issues booting linux off of a usb stick on a UEFI board. The boot cdrom worked. (Yea it's slow.) On another forum, someone with the same m/b as I have, couldn't boot in UEFI mode until he connected his...
So I was snooping around, thinking about what my next upgrade is going to look like when I happened across a link to this; http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3135/session/L3RpbWUvMTM0MDIyMzU2OC9zaWQvaDEzbE45X2s= and that led to this; http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/gefor...
Each to their own, but I'm tired of fighting aspect ratio problems and will just conform to the 16:9 trend for my next purchase :P I've got a couple of 16:10 (1680x1050) 22" monitors and a 16:10 (1920x1200) 24" monitor. At those sizes, I think I would miss the extra vertical space. I don'...
Unlike the Windows installation DVD-ROM, Linux distros still don't have UEFI-enabled boot images that can start the installer via UEFI and thus be able to manipulate the EFI boot list to add an entry. I did an UEFI install on a Sabertooth 990FX from a 12.04 Kubuntu. Couldn't do it from a usb drive ...
Does anyone know a short, but good description on how this all works, or should work? Very short description of the system used to build a great deal of the software on most linux distros. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_build_system There are some alternate systems that have come into existence, ...
From what I understand this is a long term bug in the installer that nobody seems bothered to fix, as it's status is only "confirmed" and has been for a long time. Heh. I didn't do a lot or research on K/Ubuntu before I installed it. I just wanted something to go on the damn thing. In UEF...
Now that AMD has cut Bulldozer prices , does that change anyone's opinion on that proc too? Nope. "Another website" ran a m/b review on a few of the latest 990FX series boards with the Phenom X6 and the Bulldozer chips. The Bulldozer was never even really competitive. I think it beat the ...
I've got Kubuntu 12 installed here, for the simple reason that it was the only distro that I could manage to install with and that used the UEFI capabilities of the hardware I'm on. (Sabertooth 990FX, Phenom X6, SSD primary drive.) I had to boot with a CD. USB drives that supposedly had UEFI boot su...
So has anyone actually managed to get one of these cards? Or to carry the pre-game party anology a little further, is everybody still standing around waiting for the rain delay (supply problems) to end. I see my local retailer has about 6 cards listed.. pre-order or back ordered.
