    Cheapy desktop drives at that!

  • Yeah, not suitable for 24/7 usage.

    What good is a hard drive to yourself when you only have a lowly Atom to drive everything? :-P

    Sempron FTW!

  • OliverOliver Member, Host Rep

    cat /proc/cpuinfo's on his Hostigation VPS to make sure it's not a Sempron

    :-)

  • Lol....

    Thats some beefy processor.

    It's been a great box for holding backups and nfs host for the ISO's, no idea why it crashed yesterday, but had close to 200 days uptime. 2tbx4 drive raid5 and draws .4A, I love it, but if you need to actually do something, the Sempron benches 4x higher than the Atom.

    Perfect for storage or backup purposes or if you want to offer some big downloads. Doesn't need a big CPU.

    I have an ARM Server at home with 4x2TB Raid 6, and probably consumes lower then that (and probably smashes the Atom)

    The ARM is an amazing little CPU, I can't wait to see how this plays out over the next year or two. Besides the Raspberry PI, what choices do consumers have to get ARM right now?

    I want an ARM ChromeBook. 24 hour battery life yum yum.

    There are some $50/$75 ARM Android Computers coming out.

    @Daniel said: There are some $50/$75 ARM Android Computers coming out.

    Indeed there are.

    This one looks quite promising, much beefier than a RPi, yet only $49.

    Dedicated = Dedicated CPU, IO, Network, etc.

    My tablet has a small ARM processor IIRC. If I wanted I could use it as a server, has a nice 500G HDD.

    Oh wow, that's quite the jump!

    How is the semp on power though?

  • I have one of the kimsufi 2G servers and have been really happy with it. About the biggest annoyance is it's in France and I'm in US. But for about $20/mo have 2gb ram, 1tb drive, and more or less an unmetered plan (the way it works is for the 2G server I have 5tb of bandwidth at 100mbit and then get throttled back to 10mbit after that). It's only an atom n2800 (1.8ghz) but that's fine to run a secondary mail server and for backups and stuff. Also it's only a single drive so if goes I'm screwed. Also at least if you live in the US the authorization process takes forever.

    That's an OK CPU, it's even 2 Core (4 Threads) according to http://ark.intel.com/products/58917/Intel-Atom-Processor-N2800-(1M-Cache-1_86-GHz)
    People have been (and still are) getting worse ones: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1110809 Or you can strike a goldmine and end up with a Phenom X3.
    In fact this is the thing I dislike the most about this offer, the CPU lottery.

    Worked for me.

    -1 to apc.io for the cheesy Bill Gates/Steve Jobs pic.

    WTF is up with Steve's hair in that picture? It looks like Bill Gates put a bowl on his head and cut it.

    @Francisco said: How is the semp on power though?

    I built 2 setups that were the same parts except the motherboard/ram/cpu

    Atom D525 0.35A
    Sempron 0.4A

    Same amount of ram, same drive/case were used. 4x the computing power for 0.05A is a bargain.

    Also, back when I was doing all this, I did side by side the Intel D525 board with the SuperMicro D525 board, SM wins hands down, lower power, higher geekbench, plus IPMI for the bonus points.

  • I'll probably not get the APC and get the $79 one, since it has Wifi and a case.

    @Daniel and @PhilND, I got my Hetzner box today. I went for the EX6 (cheapest one with ECC RAM). Looks like I am on a gigabit port as well since I can pull over 60MB/s from European speed test sites. :-)

    I will retire one or two of my Server4You boxes if this performs as well as I expect it will. Thanks for the recommendation!

    I guess its getting harder to get 100Mbps cables :P

    @Dionysus said: Wait, are they doing the exact same thing OVH does now? (where you can end up getting a server on a gigabit port)

    I guess, theres pretty much no reason for 100Mbit anymore, 1Gbps is getting cheaper.

    @liam said: It overheats and doesn't charge well, so I wouldn't recommend

    Yes, it does, it's practically useless as a tablet however for my use, as a media player it suffices. I can use Skype on it, check my mail, browse the net, SSH into my servers, and lots of other stuff, minus games, up-to date apps etc. since it runs an old version of Android 1.6 (I could upgrade but I'd loose the Archos Media Center thing which I want).

    It's Archos 48 IT or something like that. Rubbsih processor, rubbish amount of RAM, depending on your use, but it's still an ARM processor I think.

    I know this isn't much, but our 8GB Ram Dedicated server is only $85/Month.
