| ikt | they just don't make cpu's like they used to | 11:26 |
|---|---|---|
| ikt | lowered the fan speed down | 11:26 |
| ikt | installed folding at home so all 6 cores are at 100% cpu usage | 11:26 |
| ikt | and the heat coming out of the pc has barely risen :/ | 11:26 |
| ikt | need to get some pentium 4's up in here | 11:26 |

| head_victim | ikt: I'm trying to revive my p4 as we speak :/ Hence the webchat | 12:22 |
| ikt | oo | 12:34 |
| ikt | what are you going to use it for? | 12:35 |
| head_victim | ikt: it's just an IRC/IM box running Lubuntu that I use for email and web browsing | 22:46 |
| ikt | ah that's cool | 22:55 |
| head_victim | It's quickly getting to the stage I'm seriously considering replacing it with a mini itx atom or something, I'm sick of having this one in pieces to fix something | 22:56 |
| ikt | :( | 23:15 |
| ikt | I wonder if you can purchase new hardware that is about the same power for like $50 | 23:16 |
| ikt | mucking around with my android phone | 23:19 |
| ikt | flashed it from 2.1 stock htc rom to cyanogenmod 6 | 23:19 |
| ikt | phone has been brought back to life | 23:19 |
| ikt | could use it to sit in irc all day but would dc when I take it away from wifi | 23:21 |
| head_victim | I could buy a whole new pc for around 500 that would overpower it but if I'm spending that much (it's about as cheap as you can get a whole pc to be these days) I may as well get a low power itx dual core atom that would save my power but should still be enough to run what I use it for | 23:24 |
| head_victim | I just bought a Motorola Defy yesterday, I'm yet to set it up. Going to see if I can get my local sync over bluetooth working but until I have the 2+ pc's that are strewn around the lounge sorted I don't want to start any other tech projects | 23:25 |
| ikt | yeah I know what you mean | 23:30 |
| ikt | especially about the ultra low power pc | 23:30 |
| ikt | I went to build a similar system as a torrent box | 23:30 |
| head_victim | I'd have to do some real tests but I'm sure a dual core atom could run what I need on a cut down system like Lubuntu without much of a performance hit. Would save heaps of power | 23:33 |
