It shows another model of the same Xeon Phi family listed in the QVL, and a quick look around the web shows support for "Above 4G Decoding" (the main requirement I've seen for the Phi's), which makes sense considering people may use SLI on something like this, so I'm somewhat optimistic.

Wajo

The only reason for the 16GB of RAM is money. I may follow your suggestion and move to 8GB DIMM's and just buy 2 for the time being, then get the other 2 later on. The main concern I have about the PSU is due to my Xeon Phi. I have a 5110p model, which draws 225W (not 300W as I had said before), but...

Hmm... interesting... getting the C612 chipset instead of the X99 sounds nice, although since I'm in Mexico it's a bit harder to get a hold of the supermicro stuff. I'll definitely think about it (in any case, I did follow one of the prior recommendations and confirmed that the RAM I was considering...

Hey guys, Through my employer, I'm getting access to a Broadwell 2699v4 chip (22 core Xeon), and I feel I might as well go build a Linux workstation to play around with parallel programming and other scientific computing stuff (I've done work developing circuit simulators in the past). Having said t...

Wow... the Libery BASIC website brought be back to the 90's....

Wajo

Ok, that's what I was thinking... doing this in a couple steps... first cpu/mobo/ram and then gpu/psu

Thx

Hey, I'm planning on upgrading my current system to Sandy Bridge, but I'm wondering if my current PSU is up to the task. I have an Antec Earthwatts 380W which has worked well in my current system. Since I don't care about overclocking or the SSD caching features of the P and Z series, so I'm looking...

Wajo

I will forever hate you for that

Wajo

It all comes down to minimizing average memory access times. It depends on cache hit rate and latency. A smaller cache will have a lower hit rate (percentage of times a particular item is found on the cache as opposed to being fetched from main memory) but will also tend to have a lower latency. The...

You should take a look at some of Freescale's offerings. They have a really nice family of 8 bit microcontrollers, plenty of application notes an some cool free software stacks (usb and wireless, to name a few).

What makes a 64-bit OS attractive is primarily its ability to address a larger memory space. Therefore, that larger memory space is part of its "basic functionality and features." The amount a particular user chooses to install is irrelevant to the discussion, as are your sarcastic and fa...

Wajo

Wow

That's so very nice of you.

However, I do not own any socket 775 motherboards where this would be useful and I think the logistics associated with sending something all the way to Mexico would be complicated... so... I think another lucky overseas forum regular should get it

It's actually pretty funny... the review.. or advertisement or whatever that link is actually claims that the software will double your graphic's ram memory.

Wajo

If you're already gonna consider DDR3 (and the slighty higher cost that comes with it), then I would suggest going with the core i5 750

The CPU is around 210 at newegg and you could get something like an ASUS P7P55D LE for 135.

You'll get more performance and lower heat/power consumption

Wajo

As far as i know, the Pentium-D's are socket 775 only

Wajo

Win 7 is also supposed to support the TRIM instruction, which should do away with the performance degradation with used drives.

Keep shift pressed and the Stand-by button turns into hibernate ^^

Just to be sure it's activated, open a command prompt and type "powercfg -h on"

Wajo

Depending on some issues I might be able to chip in (i would have no problem with open sourcing it) ^^

Wajo

I know thread bumping goes against the rules of forum etiquette, but I really need your help. And the post is tech related anyway. Voting started yesterday on the FTF Design Challenge Americas 2009 and we really would like to win. So I am again asking for your help. Voting instructions are (in spani...

Hello and thanks for reading... I've been posting on and off for several years on this forum and i've always found your answers helpful... it is this very nature of the techreport that compels me to look for help again... I'm currently studying Electrical Engineering and for my thesis I worked on an...

Wajo

Yup, I have a similar system and my Antec 380W PSU has been more than enough so far ^^

Wajo

I wouldn't really feel comfortable giving bank account information over an unknown proxy to buy the game, hehe, but thx for the suggestion...

Wajo

A bit OT, is there any reason why I just CANT freaking find either Bioshock or that 2K GAMES pack on the steam store? Some sort of geographical exclusion or something? (I'm in Mexico)??

Wajo

As much as I hate to admit it (I'm mexican), the US Soccer team (and the whole infrastructure) has grown amazingly in the last decade. It's come to the point that they're not only the best team in the CONCACAF region (that's North America, Central America and the Caribbean for those of you not socce...

Personally, I've had more success trying to avoid seeing VHDL as I would a programming language and think in terms of hardware (register transfers, timers and such), particularly because of the nature of the execution (everything happening at once, etc.). Some people simplify things by implementing ...

Wajo

Thanks for the suggestions. I do agree with you about not using flash (especially for something as crucial as navigation), however, the webpage is for a class and the professor is a graphic designer and therefore has no regard for usability as long as things look pretty, so i'm pretty much forced to...

Hey, I've done a drop-down menu for a webpage in flash. However, i would like the rest of the page to remain as plain HTML. The problem i'm having is that i would like the dropdowns to cover part of the page while the user is hovering over the bar. Right now, the whole size of the flash file is bein...

I live in Guadalajara and service is pretty good. I mean you can expect a power outage during a severe thunderstorm, but other than that there's no problem. However I do not know how things are in rural or less developed parts of the country. In the city, a basic no-break is pretty much all you need.

Wajo

Hello, I finally decided to get a new graphics card for my main PC (a 9600GT) to replace my aging 6600GT. I was basically wondering if I needed to remove the nvidia graphic drivers before installing the new card. I mean, it should work without doing it, but I'm not sure considering they are several ...
