Fucking workhorse.. This old dual Xeon box

533mhz bus, lowly 512mb cache and everything.. This thing, set up nicely, it fucking takes most everything I throw at it.. Who knew with a box this god damned old I'm installing things while I'm doing malware scans, while I'm encoding video, while I'm surfing the web, while I'm listening to music,

Fuck what the fuck why didn't I get one of these sooner

I notice that I can actually set affinity and have it obey me... it's dual ht procs.. With my pentium D I had, I could set affinity all god damned day and it did nothing. Core2 I've tried affinity, same shit... this, I set it to use what I want where I want and it fucking does it.

I also notice older apps which used only one half of the cpu on my Pentium D box, these processors must be made to talk to eachother, because even old shit can use both procs ..

Later some time I'ma set up raid 0 .. grrr... it's already amazingly quick paging from one dedicated to paging drive .. Raid 0 will be great, that or one of those iram cards.... paging from that would be even faster than raid 0.. yeah?

I love this thing I'm an old fool from the old school
