    • Here's some miscellaneous tips for folks that have been to this site before:

    Jul 20 2011: Check out the new Fancybox for Wordpress images, much faster loading than the NextGEN Gallery I moved away from, easier to navigate libraries on iOS devices and PCs.

    Jul 20 2011: In addition to PCI passthru, I've added ESXi 4.1 Update 1 NIC compatibility and LSI 9260-8i BIOS setup information to the matrix, seen here:

    Jul 19 2011: 15 minutes of HD audio+video that shows the ASRock Gen3's UEFI BIOS functionality found at the YouTube Channel here (I have a frame grabber).

    You'll also find video of some CPU temperature test results as well.

    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.
