Getting closer to the current generation. Hardware System #6

Now with Sandy Bridge out although many boards are being recalled due to a chipset bug, I have some components that are within 2 generations.
The components here are close to one of the latest Socket 775 chipsets and one of the newest dual core models of the Intel Core 2 Duo processors.  Socket 775 was somewhat replaced by Socket 1366 and 1156 and Sandy Bridge uses an all new Socket 1155.
Socket 775 was also the last socket that had multiple chipset vendors.  NVidia had several chipsets that ranked above the Intel chipsets.  In graphics if you wanted SLI you needed the NVidia chipset based 775 boards.
Socket 775 processors did not have video integrated as well, it was still on the chipset.

System Components:
CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3Ghz, 2 Cores/2 Threads (Dual Core), 6MB Cache, 1333Mhz Rated FSB
Socket 775, Wolfdale 45nm, Stepping A, Revision E0, Multiplier 9x, FSB-333Mhz
MMX, SSE 1,2,3,3S,4.1, EM64T, VT-X

Board OEM (Dell) Intel Q45 / 82801JD (ICH10), Socket 775
2 * SATA, 10 * USB

Video Q45 Chipset Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA4500)
Revision , 65nm, PCI, DDR2 128-bit, DirectX 10,
32MB Dedicated / 1024MB Dynamic Memory, 533Mhz GPU

RAM 2GB (2 * 1GB) Kingston DDR2 800 (PC2-6400)
Running at 400Mhz Dual Channel Mode (DDR2-800), CAS 6-6-6-18, 1.8V
1979 MB Total, 1670MB Free after clean install

Not in use for testing:
Sound ADI 198x SoundMax HD Audio (onboard)
LAN Intel 82567LM-3 Gigabit (onboard)


Common Components to be used in all tests unless noted otherwise:
Hard Drive Western Digital Caviar Blue 250GB, 7200RPM, 8MB Cache, SATA II 3Gbps
Optical AOpen DUW1608 Dual Layer DVD Writer ATAPI/EIDE
Power Supply 450 Watt 80+ Certified Modular Power Supply
KVM USB KVM with Logitech Optical Mouse, 104 Keyboard, 17" LCD DVI/VGA

My family's favorite Chicken Fried Rice I cook.

Chicken Fried Rice Recipe Ingredients: Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (1-2)        Instant Rice (2-4 Cups or ~1 cup per person) Eggs (2-4) Soy Sauce (1/4 cup for boiling rice) Water (for boiling rice) Canola Oil (3-4 Tablespoons) Cooking Instructions: I prefer to use an electric Wok or Skillet to fry my ingredients, but a regular skillet would work. In a pot boil water minus the ¼ cup for the soy sauce.   Example 1 ¾ water plus ¼ soy sauce for 2 cups rice. While the waiting for the water to boil, cut the chicken breasts up into small (1/4 inch) pieces. Heat the canola oil in the wok or skillet.   I set my wok on 300 degrees. Once the water and soy sauce has come to a boil, stir in the rice, cover and set aside. Fry the chicken pieces in the oil till golden brown and then remove from the oil. (I set mine on a paper towel in a bowl or plate). Occasionally fluff and stir the rice. Crack eggs and fry in the oil mixing them good. Once the egg

NextGen® (formerly Mirth) Connect 3.7.0 HL7 Integration Engine new installation on Server 2016 with Microsoft SQL Express 2017

Image
First off long time no post here on my blog, but thought this one might help other people out having difficulty in installing the latest version of Mirth (NextGen) Connect into a Microsoft SQL or SQL Express environment. In this quick rundown I will explain how I created a new Mirth Connect installation using Microsoft SQL Express 2017 and OpenJDK. Mirth Connect, now called NextGen Connect is a powerful open source HL7 integration engine with many features and a huge online community of resources and help. A big piece of the puzzle is Java.  Oracle will no longer support Java 8 and free updates at the end of 2020.  Basically starting in 2019 companies will have to license Java 11 (what happened to 9 & 10?) and the runtime be embedded or included as part of the fees.  Consumers will no longer have access to free Java runtime environment. (link:https://www.java.com/en/download/release_notice.jsp) Mirth Connect has relied heavily on Java for running.  The good part is they do s

Why not buy a Celeron? Computer Hardware System 3a

So many times I have been asked this question throughout the years "Why not buy a Celeron?" and try to explain the answer in easy terms to someone. So in the great car reference so many times used in the computer world, I ask a person "Would you buy a car that part of the engine or transmission did not meet spec and so part of it is shut off?" The car will still get you from point A to point B, just not as fast or smooth as the same car with all the fully functioning parts. Only a few people would every decide that they could wait for the few dollars saved even though I tried to show that time is money and spending the extra could save in the long run. First chip binning, reusing, and relabeling has been going on in the processor industry almost since the beginning. Do you just throw away a working CPU that may not reach the intended speed or that part of the cache is not 100%?  No way, that would waste money and end up costing the consumers more per chip. You
