It will crash in sleep (sometimes?) if it tries to suspend to disk. It reports a machine check exception after reboot. Regular sleep (suspend to RAM) works fine, and only uses a few watts.

I have not watched the frequency while running a game—just assumed it would do as spec’d. Geekbench single core is similar to other Ivy bridges with the higher turbo. Sequoia runs well but there is some issue with the WiFi patches that makes command line utilities take close to a second to...

I have the E5-2667v2 so that does boost to 4 GHz, higher than the E5-1680v2 or the E5-2697v2. Better for gaming and general UI responsiveness. But the 12-core will win at Photoshop or compiling. Either is a cheap, easy upgrade from the 4 or 6 core base models. They are great machines now for the...

In the 6,1 the 12-core only gets you a 16% speed increase at multicore; despite having 50% more cores, the clock speed is lower and it'll hit its thermal limits quickly. It's also 12% or so slower at single core (it can't turbo boost as high), which is what you notice most in day-to-day usage...

Have you used an Apple Silicon computer? They are absurdly fast, quiet, and cool. The laptops wake instantly, run for 14+ hours on battery. One of the biggest improvements to personal computers since I’ve begun using them in the 1990’s. Just because you’re not paying attention, doesn’t mean...

The easiest way by far would be Mihai's infinitemac.org. All you need is a browser, and modern ones are still available for Catalina. You can even save your progress to a hard disk that is stored in your browser.

They tend to cook their GPUs, because of the quiet fan algorithm. Particularly the D500/D700 models, I would avoid those. Get the entry level model, upgrade the CPU and RAM, use a third party fan app to keep the GPUs a little cooler. My eight core / D300 / 64 GB feels as fast as a much newer...

Not as of macOS Sequoia, no

OSHPark will do a clear solder mask

Aaaa but the motion sensor and compass should be circles, and they're not because 1280x1024 is the one retro resolution that isn't 4:3 :C

I also have a tangerine that shuts down immediately on booting 8.6, likely due to the updated ROM. I think at least one blueberry here can boot 8.6, is it worth potentially sacrificing a clamshell to the flashrom cause :)

The 630 is a 68LC040. I don't think SpeedDoubler would help much!

quokkadb is another way to get USB keyboard/mouse working :) I have a CF/IDE in my 640, and dual boot between 7.5.x and 8.1. The two SIMM 630 (like my 640) can go to 52 MB: 32 + 16 + 4

This is a great use of the PIOs on the Pi Pico!

Perfect, thank you!

Native extended attributes are the best, easiest way to lose data when you back up files. Will there still be a way to disable this in 4.0?

Which side of OH are you on? I have some parts and experience with those (extremely flakey) motherboards here in Pittsburgh.

Even with USB audio, the audio doesn't work well. There is no volume control, so you have to use a volume control on the speakers, and hope that the USB device outputs high enough level. Mine doesn't quite, so I have to turn the powered speakers way up to like 3/4 to hear it, where on a normal...

I'd look forward to your demo, but I only have a 630, not a 5200. So you'll have to upload a video of it!

Marathon Infinity can use the Valkyrie to upscale a low res render to full screen, and the source code is available so you can look and see how it does it: http://infinitysource.bungie.org/
