24 SSDs in a raid array...

My question is this:
What is the deal with the "Custom 800MHz FBDIMM Ram (4GB)"?
- What makes that so special?

FBDIMM

Face Book Dual Inline Memory Modules?

allows you to post 800 status updates per second?

[Crazyirish]

Fully Buffered - Trades some speed for increased reliabilty.

[Looneybomber]

Don't we have an electronics/computer subforum?

BTW, 2x 4870x2's? This must be an older video.

[Encryptshun]

Wassa matter Looneybomber, trying to keep Gen Chat on topic?

[crazspence]

IIRC. since hes using 2 quad cores it would mean hes making a skulltrail type kinda set up and that kind of mobo may require a FBDIMM socket. but FBDIMM is kinda dead now since ddr3 is raping. i maybe be wrong since ive been outta the electronics scene for quite a few years now. Zs take much more money.

[Looneybomber]

Wassa matter Looneybomber, trying to keep Gen Chat on topic?

Oh yes, only general stuff in gen chat...things that are useless. This thread and video are uber important, most important thread on gen chat's page 1.

[RCA]

Don't we have an electronics/computer subforum?

I posted an thread about Intel's development of light based chip capable of 1000GBs transfer speeds and nothing...

It is pretty dead over there. No one has posted in two days. So I figured I wouldn't waste my time.

[Looneybomber]

I noticed that too. If all related threads were posted there it'd get a little more traffic I bet. Either way, gen chat is slow too. I noticed this decline in activity about when summer started. Now it seems there's always threads that have been sitting inactive for 2-3 days on the first page.

[float_6969]

Yea, the entirety if NICO is slow. Things always slow down for the summer and get worse when school starts. It'll pick back up in a few weeks once everyone gets settled in.

::sigh::

But I'm glad you're here Looneybomber.

Internet hug

[RobPaulson]

in case anyone is wondering, this video was made a loonnnngggggg time ago. i want to say at least a year ago.

which makes it way less impressive now-a-days considering how much the project cost that long ago.

ah well, still pointlessly fast. the thing about this stuff is, its only even capable of running those speeds with itself, good luck not negating every single electron of speed once u plug a 2.0 USB connection in. LOL BOTTLENEX

[kornmanz]

pfft shoulda put gtx 480's in quad setup like this guy to backup his claim of "fastest consumer pc" Maybe he shoulda put a good processor too. And better ram than 800mhz lol thats slow. Most ram nowadays runs at 1600MHz or above.

For those of you who dont know the modlist. He is using the brand new 6 core extreme processor from intel. 1000 dollar processor. On top of basically the best of everything.

Oh yeah and usb 3.0 came out.

[RobPaulson]

"fastest consumer pc"

The OP's video is extremely old in respect to techie time, it most likely was one of the fastest consumer PC's when it was developed.

usb3.0 would still create a bottleneck, basically anything would be a bottle neck. it was just an example, y0.

[kornmanz]

Oh I didnt see the post time of the video.

Imagine when there are no bottlenecks.

[RobPaulson]

Imagine when there are no bottlenecks.

everything is solid state high speed memory physically built into the processing unit, all in a quarter inch squared size piece of hardware running optical i/o devices. . . .

[RCA]

"fastest consumer pc"

Isn't there a difference between fastest and strongest?

[Loki]

[Looneybomber]

Oh I didnt see the post time of the video.

Imagine when there are no bottlenecks.

a bottleneck is created when something is faster than something else. A person could eliminate all bottle necks by reducing the operating speed of everything down to what is equal to USB 2.0, or whatever interface we're using. Now no bottlenecks!

Speaking of bottlenecks, your PC speakers is your bottleneck. What's the word on getting solid monitors like the Behringer Truth series (powered) speakers?

Wow, at times his power consumption went over 1600w. The limit a 15A circuit in a house can support (for more than a few seconds) is 1800w. All he needed was to have a nice 5.1 setup or even a fan and a few lights and his 5.1 PC speakers and he'd trip a breaker. That's nutty.

[PoorManQ45]

That's nothing compared to 5 floppies in a raid array!

Serial interface versus parallel. Like SATA vs PATA/IDE. Better throughput.

I have some krk monitors right now. Behringer is ewww.

[/thought you were talking about Starfleet Battles]

[PoorManQ45]

Behringer amps are a great value though. Try to beat a A-500 for $99!!!

[Looneybomber]

The behringers b2031a's measure good and are cheap, but the important part is you've upgraded from those Logitechs.
Now moar mixes.

[PoorManQ45]

I still want a pair of Mackie 824s!!!

Working on a new mix that I'll post next month. Here's something you should give a listen.

Sorry its off topic. I posted it in its own thread a while ago but the thread got buried.

[Dattebayo]

WTF Korndog? Get your own thread.

Who cares, go for it...

Oh, Dave cares...
So please post all your stuff here...
