The collected works of D-EJ915 - Page 3

Ooooohhhh very niiiiice. I've been wanting to pick one of those up, you got a top spec (CPU) model too. How's the performance?

People were probably still buying them and Intel was pushing HP to drop for everyone to have to switch to Itanium2. PA-RISC definitely have some nice performance numbers for their clock rate.

wow that's nuts
:Indy: :rx2600: :Indigo2: :Indigo2: :Indy: :Indy:
I can load it on mine but it might take a while lol, I have to set it up on my netboot server. I think I just have 2008 and not 2003.

Well I wouldn't mind playing games on mine, but I agree the market for games on windows on ia64 is 0 lol, hpux or linux might be more than 0

I want something with OpenGL so I can test out my ATI FireGL X1/Z1 card lol.

Nvidia has h.264 hardware acceleration on them so it should do pretty well.

I really really really want one of these but I am so scared of what the prices are going to be. I can imagine the base 2u being 20k at least...

I had that issue before, some DMGs are weird, I had to use my newest OS X and convert it to a DMG again and then it worked, shrug, stupid formats are stupid.

It doesn't show you the password, it's a security feature.

That looks pretty sick, cool seeing an 8 way old xeon system too.

The problem is that it has always been like that which is why loli/shota stuff is so easily accessible.

They probably had uncensored pictures which are illegal in Japan if I remember.

If you have a "beginner" account you can't accept credit cards.

HP-UX isn't too awfully hard to find, you'll be better served by it than Linux IMO but I have run both.

Not surprised by the graphics performance, it sure validates HP's choice to move away from designing their own boards and buying from other vendors.

Anything supported by the free radeon driver will work. If you get the ZX6000 AGP riser board you can use an AGP card like I do.

Nice collection, looks very clean. One suggestion is to toss that keyboard in the trash...they are abysmal.
:Indy: :rx2600: :Indigo2: :Indigo2: :Indy: :Indy:
^now that's more like it haha, love the mess and granite keyboard
:Indy: :rx2600: :Indigo2: :Indigo2: :Indy: :Indy:
You guys know if this would run on a Thinkpad 720? It's MCA
:Indy: :rx2600: :Indigo2: :Indigo2: :Indy: :Indy:
Yeah, it's smaller than a deskside, I didn't really "size" the ones I did to what they would really be like compared to the others although they are pretty real-sized compared to pixel-O2. I should do some up for my new acquisitions.

Been wanting to run Win2k3 on my RX just for giggles but finding it is rather difficult...

Anyway my PA-RISC/HPPA boxes:
712/60
C200
J5600 x2
C8000

Itanium/Itanium2:
RX2600 w/AGP riser

x86-64
XW8400

Usually I don't mind having to log in for downloads but Oracle's sign-in nonsense makes me want to punch myself in the face.
Virtual Console Terminals
Oracle Solaris 11 Express 2010.11 supports switching between X session and virtual console
terminals. This service can be enabled by starting the svc:/system/vtdaemon:default and
svc:/system/console-login:vt* services in SMF. Once turned on, users can switch
between sessions using hotkeys Alt + Ctrl + F#.
About time, even if you absolutely hate linux this is an extremely useful feature I have always felt was missing from other systems.

An update to mine I now I have a Thinkpad 720 which is an MCA one...it's pretty interesting but the screen is awful.

Congrats, they are great systems and yep very big and heavy haha.

It does for now (5.0) but for 6.0 hppa is dropped :(

I just need to pick up a serial card to install lol.

Never had a dual SGI but a good 3/4 of my Sun and HP machines are SMP. I don't think SGI pushed SMP workstations as much as other brands did.
:Indy: :rx2600: :Indigo2: :Indigo2: :Indy: :Indy:
It might have been to do with the upgrade from 8800 to 8900 CPUs.

Whoo 777 posts~ go hppa/parisc.

That's tight you got it working man, what system are you using it with?

I know NextSTEP was particular about a stick of ram in my SS20 that Sol7 wasn't but I don't think that's what's the problem here. Everything in Next is GUI though so I agree that you need to get a keyboard and mouse.

I had to put in the server address into the prom options when I used it previously, it's posted earlier in the thread.

As long as you have a backup server having your local server go down isn't such a big problem. I have DtDNS service but Cox is pretty consistent with their IPs in my location and it only changes when you change modem.

I run a Zimbra server and it's pretty simple and the spam filtering is decent enough.

Another "self hosted" option is to get a cheap web server service or VPS and run a mail server on that. Either that or just use your domain registrar's service if they have one.

Yeah for people it works fine but for those autogenerated messages they tend to retry less...

KVM is pretty good speed-wise. I haven't compared it to other commercial solutions but for my personal use it was like running on the hardware itself. My disk system was the biggest slowdown.

I never took mine out of the caddies I don't think or installed any in them but they look like the dell ones where you just bend them open enough to have the metal pieces go into the screw holes.
