Dell Poweredge 12G Server Memory Configuration Tool

By admin, September 5, 2012 9:47 pm

Marien left a comment in my blog, in which he pointed out a very useful tool for correctly selecting Dell Poweredge 12G server memory configuration.

For me, highest speed (now it’s in 1600Mhz) is always my first choice, sometimes, I would rather trace off less total memory for the speed as memory is the top competing resource among many VMs on the same host. Therefore, you do need to know DPC (Dimm per Channel) inside out.

Memory power consumption is the 2nd most important factor, so I always select Low Voltage (LV) 1.35 Volts as they do save quite a bit when you add up all the sticks.

Finally, 16GB is becoming the norm these days, a 288GB ESX host is no longer a dream especially when the good news of vSphere 5.1 removed the vTax limitation.

PS. Another thing I learn about the new R720 is the latest 12G server uses at least 1/4 less power than previous 11G R710 which is a great news!

剛剛看到了這句,我突然醒悟了,最近的確是忽略了身邊的人,車模的魔力真可怕啊。。。

坑爹之作: Toyota 2000 GT 褐色升級版

By admin, September 5, 2012 10:58 am

今天突然發現Autoart釋放出了2000 GT 褐色升級版的衛星圖片。

其實之前已經收齊了金、白、紅、銀4色,這次即將推出的所謂升級版除了輪轂變為鋼絲樣子外(當然這個比CMC/EXOTO差得太遠了),到現在為止我還看不出有什么其它部件有升級的地方,而且我不太喜歡這顏色,加上價錢因素,所以應該再次放棄了。

最近Autoart就藉著這自以為傲的鋼絲輪轂來了個大變身,如馬丁DB5、捷豹E-Type等。
我要明確指出的是價格方面的大提昇。就拿78745(Maroon)這台來說,每一個新的輪轂升級大概值11Euro,價格也硬生生地從97.95提昇到了141.95Euro的驚人水平。

作為一個瘋狂的2000 GT車模收藏家,我認為AA簡直當我們收藏家白痴,這簡單的輪轂換成了鋼絲的樣子就等於要幾乎50%的提價,至於嗎﹖我還沒提4年前買白色的2000 GT時才港幣550左右,大概55Euro,這樣算的話,那可是1.6倍的提昇啊! 看來AA最近的確想錢想瘋了,完全走火入魔了,是否真的如江湖傳聞所說最近AA銷量大減、現金流出現問題那就不得而知了。

我清楚記得當年AA還是五六百的時候,那時候我的收車激情是多麼地高昂啊,當然這些都已經是歷史了。

怪只能怪我太窮,沒錢繼續這份越來越昂貴得嗜好,TNND!
