Hi Gang,
Well, they're finally here. My new Opteron 242 twins. :) Right now I
am dealing with some "burping" problems with power issues in the room;
it's seems as though the new server case draws so much power that I
have to isolate it on one circuit. But I almost have things sorted
out (naughty kids!).
However, one of the first things I did (that is to say, after I
transfered some of my files over) was to perform the ball pyramid
test. Well, my ol' P4 1.7G machine performed it at 22:23. But the
twins performed it at 4:47! So you can guess that this new mommy is
really happy. :) I even did a render that took 2 seconds! I never
heard of that before. A whole new world is dawning. :)
My thanks to everyone and their coveted advice over the past few
months as I was making my decision.
Now I have to get back to transfering files. I currently do not have
a network going but hopefully will have one within the next few weeks
or so. So back to the ol' oven to burn some more discs. :)
[Oh, btw, I may be off-line for long periods of time now-and-then as I
transfer things over because I can't run both machines at the same
time right now but hopefully this will be resolved in a few days as
well. ]
Cheers.
Claudia
