Small upgrades
November 7, 2011by Wm. Josiah Erikson (wjens)
At some point this summer, I upgraded compute-1-9 to a Core 2 Quad and 8GB of RAM, and upgraded compute-1-6 to a hexacore Athlon and 16GB of RAM, both for piddly amounts of money, bringing us up to Total CPUs: 258
Total Memory: 303.9 GB.
I’ll probably upgrade compute-1-7 to match compute-1-6 soon, as it’s our last 4GB, dual-core node in Rack 1. Or maybe I’ll see if I can do something crazy with a quad-processor motherboard or something. We’ll see how bored I get 🙂

Note: It was annoying to get compute-1-6 the right motherboard. Spend the extra $20 and get the same one that’s in that one, don’t cheap out. Native ROCKS support is important!
