Dual Cyrix processors
Published: Tuesday, March 27, 2001 | By: DennisThis is quite interesting, At the recent CeBit convention one of the booths had a 1U server complete with two processors. Normally this wouldn't really be a big deal except that the processors where the new Samuel II processors by Cyrix. It would seem that all of the x86 processor makers are jumping on the SMP bandwagon.
On another note the motherboard seen in the photo looks a lot like the board Freeway Designs uses in their servers. -
New Home for Ninjalane.com
Published: Saturday, March 24, 2001 | By: DennisLike the subject says we have moved to a new and improved server and looking at the recent stats it would seem most of the users would agree.
Just to recap a few weeks ago I posted some photos of the bare-bones web server that acted as a temporary host for this site. During that time the original server moved to a new location. With the downtime the owner decided that he would upgrade the system by replacing the whole thing, nice guy huh?
Now that everything is complete, tested and approved this site has moved and the bare- bones systems usefulness has come to an end.
Though I must admit for a lil' P166 it did quite well. -

Product Activation protection scheme sucks
Published: Tuesday, March 20, 2001 | By: DennisIt would appear that the Product Activation protection scheme that Microsoft has placed on its XP line of products has got the beta testers all sorts of pissed off.
I would get pissed too if I had to re-register every month or whenever I swapped out video cards. -
Linux Based Gaming
Published: Tuesday, March 20, 2001 | By: DennisLinux gaming console, what a concept.
With more and more games being ported to Linux (i.e. Doom, Quake) the platform looks to be very versatile.
I wonder what will happen once the Linux hacker types get a hold of it. -
The World's First Dual AMD Board
Published: Monday, March 19, 2001 | By: DennisTyan has done it again, this time with the first dual processor AMD motherboard.
Tyan has been known for building high quality motherboards for Mid-range to High-end Workstations and Servers. Knowing this, it is no wonder why they wouldn't jump at the opportunity of building a dually AMD system. -

Both of the new motherboards are single processor units with onboard everything. Really the only difference is the processor configurations. One is a Socket 370 and the other is a Socket A. -
