  • 4x 1GB DDr2 Corsair CM2X1024-8500C5D XMS2-8500 1066MHz
  • AMD Pheonom Black Edition 9600 2.3 GHz Quad-Core
  • MSI K9A2 Platnium m/b

Up and running. re0 wasn’t working well. Got disconnected, bad packet lengths etc. On 6.3 release. With fxp0 in there, all is well.

    Hi Dan,

    Funny enough to see your PhenomBSD build as the first search result. Do you plan on some folding@home on your new machine? What is the word on parts for the old computer? I might be ready to purchase some old parts from you if you hadn’t a use for them such that I can add them to my folding@home farm.

    PS,
    I work at the computer store at Algonquin, let me know if you need anything.

  2. Dan Says:

    Funny how? And what search term did you use?

    No folding on this box. It’s mostly for jails and perhaps a desktop box.

    The m/b for the old computer is fine. I’ll try selling it perhaps.

    I’m in Pennsylvania now. :)

  3. Brodey Says:

    FreeBSD Phenom was the search term ;). I just checked your website and saw your residing in Pennsylvania. That’s a long ways away from Ottawa, get much snow?

    PS,
    See you at BSD Can.

  4. Dan Says:

    There is no snow here. Avg high in Dec/Jan/Feb is above freezing.
