    • I'm honored to have been invited back, for my second appearance on the BYOB (Build Your Own Box) podcast. This time, we talked pretty extensively about gaming and virtualization, using the Core i7/Z68 platform.

    Really nice of pcdoc, aka Mike Faucher, of "The Full Fo-Shay" fame, to invite me back! And also glad to hear he's made tremendous progress building his own similar virtualization box since recording this podcast.

    Mike took what we chatted about for 1 hour 45 minutes, and RAN with it, building his own similar virtualization rig within hours of recording this podcast. Yep, he dove right into the deep end.

    Enjoy the show!

    After 6 successful years testing then shipping well over 1,000 Xeon D Bundles, Wiredzone had to stop selling them in mid-2021 due to cost, supply, and logistics challenges. So far, Xeon D-1700/2700 (Ice Lake D) was a minor refresh for 2023, with Xeon D-1800/2800 (Granite Rapids D) refresh looking a little better for 2024. More cores, but still just PCIe Gen4 and DDR4. Looking ahead, I'm glad it's Pat Gelsinger at Intel's helm. I'm also grateful to have had the honor of working at VMware when Pat was the CIO there. I'll leave it at that, given the whole Broadcom thing.
