Planning Field Marshall Melchett
Monday, June 9th, 2008General Melchett is my current PC ride of choice.
Self-build, and crafted and greatly loved: it is a beautiful workstation. Quiet, too.
There have been four significant changes from the initial build: Q9300 processor, 8Gb of DDR2 RAM, NVidia 8800GT video card and most recently a Western Digital Velociraptor 300Gb 10,000 RPM boot/C: drive.
The next leaps are […]
General Melchett goes 45nm
Monday, April 21st, 2008Time to save some electrons. On yet another whim, I purchased a new Intel Q9300 processor for General Melchett, replacing the venerable Q6600.
The CPU temperature seems to have dropped by 9degC, whilst the performance (12Gb video encode using Expression Encoder) is within a margin of error the same. The Q9300 is 4% faster. I think there […]
Project General Melchett. Stage 1.

Saturday, January 27th, 2007A major change in the fabrication process, changing a 40+ year old process to make transitors that are 45 nano-meters large/small. At this level, atoms become significant.
Scoble has released a new video detailing the new 45nm process at Intel. What does this mean? Two things: Moore’s Law still applies, and there are going to be […]
