Hello everyone,
I had to upgrade my old computer, and I can report a success with everything except VIA VL805 USB 3.0 host controller that locks up the system whenever I attempt to use USB 3 in Linux. Oh well.
I have encountered that in the past with other USB 3 controllers. No idea what causes it. Which kernel version do you have? I have found some discussions about a problem with some 3.1x kernels and 64bit mode on the VIA VL805 controller with IOMMU enabled. And apparently it mainly affects seagate external drives. See https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-usb%40vger.kernel.org/msg43326.html if interested.
So right now I have a bunch of older hardware circa 07-10 that will go into recycling unless someone wants it and I can bring it to the next GTALUG meeting on Oct 13
AMD Athlon XP 3800+ with heatsink but no fan
2800+ or 3200+ or what? I have never heard of an XP 3800+. Or is it an Athlon 64 3800+? Not that I need any of them. :)
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 with heatsink and fan
I have one of those in my desktop. Runs pretty hot, but decent performance.
6x 2GB memory sticks of various performance (667-800Mhz), last time I checked all of them worked IDE Pioneer DVR-108 -- DVD-RW drive circa 2004
And for the in the off chance there are morbidly curious among you, I have two motherboards that are mostly dead.
ASUS M4A-VM and ASUS P5KPL-VM
