slaine_: hey guys
slaine_: just looking over the 9.10 performance article
bkero: Mmm-hmm
Trou: hi, just a little remark about the phoronix test suite, why not compile graphicsmagick instead of imagemagick, it uses openmp, so it may be more interesting to test
michaellarabel: Trou: There is a GraphicsMagick test of the program itself in PTS

maligor: 84MB?
maligor: oh, nm
maligor: I remembered the earlier ones were 60
Deanjo: So michaellarabel what ever happened to that $500 draw for completing the survey?
michaellarabel: Deanjo: It was completed and IDG sent it to the winner
Deanjo: Ahh, you never made an announcement to that effect
Deanjo: BTW, you should see some nice Phenom II 955 benchmarks show up on PTS tomorrow :P
maligor: you have a 955?
Deanjo: Yuppers
Deanjo: Still trying to find it's max OC on air. So far 4 Ghz is no sweat
Deanjo: Damn you michaellarabel, how dare you crush all the conspiracies on the SQLite test and proving it was a kernel regression
Deanjo: What are they gonna bitch about now
Deanjo: forbids maligor from making any more patches to the kernel that kill SQLite performance
Deanjo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzsa4Byrso0 <--- that intel ad cracks me up
Deanjo: OK 18 hours running at 100% load @ 4Ghz, time to try 4.1 Ghz
Deanjo: sends some of the snow on his lawn maligor's way
Milyardo: oO
Milyardo: 4Ghz would be nice
Milyardo: can't run on anything but stock speed
Milyardo: I think its because og my motherboard though
Milyardo: it sux
Deanjo: What MB?
Milyardo: Deanjo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130165
Deanjo: Ahh, say no more, MSI
Milyardo: lol
Deanjo: I've never had any luck with MSI's
Milyardo: From what I've read my 9600 Should be able to get to 3Ghz on stock cooling, 3.2 on some of the better Air solutions
Deanjo: I have a theory that all motherboards that have 3 initials should be avoided
Deanjo: MSI, ECS, QDI, etc
Deanjo: weeps a tear for old Abit
Milyardo: Well even though this board come with options to OC, I'm fairly certain this board was never meant to be OC with
raevol: yea i had abit mobos for a long time they were great :[
raevol: have asus now though and it's great too
Deanjo: What I really liked about Abit was 1) their BIOS, best in the biz, and 2) usually not loaded up with proprietary crap
Deanjo: Such as their own sensor reading crap and shit
Deanjo: I still have 4 NF7-S boards that just keep on ticking despite being OC'd for years and under constant heavy load
Deanjo: The only mod I did to them is to replace them shitty chipset fans with large passive heatsinks
Deanjo: would like to slap the retard that thought slapping a 1 inch fan on a heatsink was a good idea
raevol: hahaha
raevol: i should figure out how to cool my box better
Deanjo: I have yet to see any of those little fans last more then a year without seizing or making racket
raevol: yea
Deanjo: Same with those little ass fans they slap in removable drive bays
Deanjo: (although I wound up putting a fan on my router chipset)
redeeman: does nforce ethernets support auto crossing?
Deanjo: yes
Deanjo: Pretty much any Gbit controller does nowdays
redeeman: well you never know with nvidia
Deanjo: I believe it's even an official spec for Gbit
maligor: interesting that game.amd.com still doesn't list 9.5
maligor: and amd website is slow as heck
Deanjo: wonders if they resurrected their k6-3 webserver
maligor: maybe I should install them 9.5's
maligor: made the packages a few hours ago already, I think it's supposed to have opengl 3.1
maligor: still no release notes on it
maligor: meh.. only 3.0
evocallaghan: LOL ! @ http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_opensolaris_kernel&num=9 You mean *userland* not the kernel, none of them tests are anything todo with the kernel apart from maybe IO !
terran1: hello

Deanjo: spammer
michaellarabel: Thanks Deanjo
