All Avotons support up to 8 lanes of PCIe 3.0, which is more than enough for 4-port SFF-8087 RAID or controller card, which you can split into a total of 16 SATA 3.0 ports. Just go on eBay and find some used LSI SFF-8087 or mini-SAS HD PCIe 8x card. Just make sure that the bandwidth on the SAS port is at least 6 Gbps.

It's actually three physical cores and 6 logical ones. Bulldozer took the Hyperthreading concept and made it partially physical.

>>54393054
Well, you average house costs in the millions now, so maybe your dollars that is your problem

No, it can't. It gets beat out my Pentiums in single threaded performance and i3-6100 in multi-threaded performance.
Buy a Pentium or i3-6100, or a used Haslel/Ivy Bridge/Sandy Vagina processor.
>>54390665
its says its socket type right in the image retard
>>54393154
There are two cores per module, and each module has one FPU. By your logic a Intel CPU that lacks x87 has zero cores.
>>54393183
>We literally gave you the engineering definition
That still isn't a true core, ya dingus. A single Bulldozer "core" cannot function by itself as a distinct core. If you understood how Bulldozer actually works, you'd know that there is not way to isolate a singular "core", only a module (which is the actual core).

See, this is what I said. You cant compare Bulldozer to a traditional core architecture.
Did you even read my post anon? Or are you so desperate to seem intelligent?
And even then, but the most basic definition of a core provided by Wikipedia, they are Cores. As a core need only process instructions to be considered independent.

>>54393316
I'm guessing you have no idea what you're talking about then because you say this
>As a core need only process instructions to be considered independent.
and yet you say that the FX-6300 has 6 cores when three of those cores can handle independent processes with the other three acting as supplementary processing for those three cores. If you had an FX CPU, you'd know that you'd rarely see cores 2,4, and 6 being utilized independently without corresponding cores 1, 3, and 5 being active first.
ALL SIX "CORES" CAN NOT HANDLE SIX INDEPENDENT PROCESSES, AS HAS BEEN PROVEN MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE ZAMBEZI WAS LAUNCEHD.

>>54393369
You have no idea what your talking about. The only thing that links the cores is the FPU, other than that they can process instructions independently.
>>54393388
Go ahead, waste your money on subpar performance with an outdated architecture and no redeeming features.
>>54393393
>other than that they can process instructions independently
You honestly believe that. The shilling is deep with this one.
>>54393369
>you'd rarely see cores 2,4, and 6 being utilized independently without corresponding cores 1, 3, and 5 being active first.
Because core 2 shares a module with 1, 4 with 3, and 6 with 5. The CPU uses one core per module and goes for the second module cores when the first three are in use.
>>54393411
>I'm right because I'm right and if you dont think I'm right you're a shill because I'm right and you have to be wrong.
>>54393432
And that's exactly what I meant. If they were true cores, all 6 cores would be able to used regardless of order or sequence. But Bulldozer can't do that.
>>54393436
I'm right because I know I'm right.

I thought you could get them in dual xeons, but now that I'm looking lol, they only come in single CPU configs now, that's pretty great.
That said you can still get them in 12 core versions, which all in all is probably more powerful, but only DDR3 and it costs literally 8x what I spent on this. Even the spec which is close to mine (6 core 20MB L3, 32GB) is $4400 which is absolutely hilarious.

Might go with a 5X. I've had an iPhone 6 plus since December of 2014. Everything was fine and dandy until iOS 8.3ish when iOS security got so tight that jailbreaks were taking forever to get released. I enjoyed the stability, speed, and security. However, I enjoy ricing over everything. I'm moving to Android now that's it's grown up a bit. Nexus devices get frequent OTA updates and have a decent fingerprint scanner/FDE. I'll never have another Samsung device. They're total shit. I've always used iPhones as my primary phone but I've bought Android phones and tablets to fuck around with. I'm not sure which Android phone to get. Nexus 6P would be perfect if it didn't use that shitty USB type C that seems to be frying everything you plug it into.

Been the same down in Australia for awhile.
980 ti are 1,000+ with triple a games being 80+
>>54400007
I saw 980Tis for 400 € here, 300 and I would buy one. Won't spend more for a temporary shit GPU.

Fucking aud.
I finally got a mechanical keyboard when Altech went down though. Cherry red switches too, 40% off wholesale price.

>implying you can't just get 2 290xs and flash them to firepros.
A nice chair.
Finding out they good ones are sometimes more expensive than entire builds.
I would like my health back, but I'm not even sure how much that would cost and basically I have no money. No money or tech can buy back the years I wasted being sick though. And there's no foreseeable end in sight for my health issues either. So, meh, no piece of tech would make me feel better if I don't have the health I had 6 years ago.
I want an IBM ThinkPad S30 so I can show it off here and feel validated and maybe even use it for something, but I don't wanna jump through the hoops to get it here from Asia.

But you can use tech to distract yourself when it hurts anon.
I know it's temporary, but that's still better than nothing

A second 980.
A second 144hz moniter.

it's so tempting to buy some used SSDs off craigslist for ~$0.20/gb
I don't know what I'd do with multiple 500gb SSDs, but being able to get 1TB of solid state storage for $200, especially good brands, is amazing
Any high tier earphones.
But i feel these fucks are just placebo, overpriced apple tier shit.

Holy shit, is this for real?
I was planning to move there once our meme candidate most likely wins.

Well, technically this is in the “I couldn't afford it even if I wanted to” category. Does that still count?

Honestly, you're better off in a Trump America than a Trudeau Canada. Unless you know how to ass-kiss in Chinese and don't mind being yet another unemployable Millenial in Toronto, in which case by all means.

All I want is a new version of this

Got a x9100 in my w700 and it kicks a lot of ass, but for linux I think the qx9300 would do better
>>54399733
Jesus might as well make one at that point
>>54388785
a nice SGI setup to live out my autistic MIPS/Unix fantasies
>>54389523
Got it from Massdrop with Browns (regret not getting clears). Enjoying the shit out of it as my first mechanical keyboard, would definitely recommend.
>>54393941
Just put a 940XM in my W701... it's Okay.
