Admun 64 Has Arrived

Posted by Admun  Tags:
Just put together the computer I got on Friday. It's a AMD Athlon 64 3000+, MSI RS480M2-IL m/b, 1GB dual channel DDR RAM, with a 20GB ATA HDD. All these are construct in a AOpen case. Total damage is CAN$550.

Fedora core 2 (x86) installs alright, updated all RPMs and it seem even able to detect the SATA IDE. NIC is detected without a problem. The other problem I encounter so far is the computer struck on reboot during shutdown. I will try out the sound card later, as well as the firewire and USB2.

I'm going to wait for FC4 for AMD64 come out in few weeks, then I'm going to move all old server function over here one by one.

Yeah!

That sounds like a nice system, did you mean a 200gb sata drive?

No. It's just a 20GB ATA HDD. I don't have any SATA HDD right now.

When you decide to add more disk, go with a SATA drive. On my system I can tell the difference in speed.

With today's processors and faster memory, the bottleneck is the disk drive.

Yeah... I have been debating that..... $$$ vs better performance. Keep in mind that I'm running s/w RAID, so I need to get 2 disks.....

I think what I will used this 20GB as / and put my 2 80GB from my current server as /home, setup a RAID on it first. Later will get a pair of 120 or 200 GB SATA when the price come down more.

I also planning to get a new prosumer dig cam... that going to hurt me finanially.... sad
