| brolin_empey | My home computer is unreliable, apparently due to flaky hardware, possibly due to bad connections. A possible solution that does not directly cost me money but costs a significant amount of my time is to try using the spare LGA775 motherboard I already have with all solid capacitors and that officially supports up to 16 GiB of main memory. However, I am curious about the current feasibility of using a stationary x86-64 computer with non-volatile main | 11:58 |
|---|---|---|
| brolin_empey | memory and running Windows NT or GNU+Linux. How much money would I have to spend on a new motherboard, CPU, and RAM to have such a computer? Is it reliable even if it runs continuously for months at a time? If I want to use Windows NT instead of GNU+Linux, do I have to start over with a new Windows installation Yet Again instead of continuing to use my current Windows installation that has always run on a computer with volatile main memory? | 11:58 |
| KotCzarny | just buy thinkpad and be done | 11:59 |
| KotCzarny | instead of asking newbie questions like a bot | 11:59 |
| KotCzarny | also, offtopic. | 12:01 |
| brolin_empey | When I last researched NVDIMM technology maybe already at least a year ago by now, I recall that one of my conclusions was that NVSODIMMs apparently did not exist, at least not as a COTS product, which is a problem if you want to use a computer, such as a notebook computer, that uses a SODIMM instead of a full-size DIMM (a LODIMM?). I am not aware of any model of ThinkPad nor, more generally, any brand of portable (x86) computer designed to use non-volatile | 12:05 |
| brolin_empey | main memory. | 12:05 |
| brolin_empey | I already have five ThinkPads but they are all x86-32 IBM models, not x86-64 Lenovo models. | 12:07 |
| *** florian_kc has joined #maemo | 12:10 | |
| brolin_empey | Yes, it is off-topic but is there a channel specifically focused on using a desktop computer with non-volatile main memory or at least where my question is on-topic? I dislike the Windows channels on freenode and my question is about both hardware and software, not only software. | 12:10 |
| KotCzarny | some forum most likely | 12:11 |
| brolin_empey | If I ask about using Windows NT instead of *nix on an x86 computer with non-volatile main memory, will I be as small of a minority as convertible cars with a compression-ignition engine in North America or motorcycles with a compression-ignition engine anywhere? | 12:14 |
| brolin_empey | Or as small of a minority as notebook computers in 2018 using an AMOLED display instead of an LCD. | 12:24 |
| brolin_empey | Or as persons actually using desktop/server versions of Windows NT on non-x86 architectures. | 12:25 |
| sixwheeledbeast^ | I had a diesel Peugeot convertible once, cracking little car. | 12:31 |
| brolin_empey | Wikipedia says that a turbodiesel Peugeot car holds the world record for lowest fuel consumption of a production model of car. | 12:37 |
| brolin_empey | Yes, fuel consumption, not energy consumption, so a purely electric car that uses zero fuel does not count. :-P | 12:38 |

| sixwheeledbeast^ | A purely electric car would use a fair amount of fuel and energy before you drive it for the first time. | 12:49 |
