Happy Holidays everyone, A new blog has been posted

This  time I clicked on it just for the pic!  

BTW, how're you doing with that AA3000 that looked like it got buried in someone's back yard?  Any new pics for us?

Last I heard from the owner, it was cleaned up, sold for a crazy amount and shipped to Europe somewhere. The owner didn't even have a chance to post it on ebay or anything. Someone he knows is very very wealthy and buys all the crazy rare stuff from him for a Mint.

Sweet!  Did you guys manage to get it working?

Hey bud!  Just a quick note.  I saw your blog about "When is DDR-3 RAM not DDR-3 ram?" and I've had the same problem.  I buy sticks of ram for my office, dozens at a time.  For the past few years I'd buy G.Skill F3-10666CL7Q-16GBXH to go in our Dell OptiPlex workstations.  One day a batch of it just wouldn't work.  No boot, no POST, just beeping.  Turns out after some back-and-forth with the manufacturer, they'd changed something in the "standard" and this "new DDR3" was no longer compatible with our "DDR3" motherboards.  

Looking at the date codes on the chips, I found that memory manufactured before 12/13 worked, memory manufactured after 1/14 did not.

*Insert a bunch of cursing from me here*

In any case, I'm confirming your issue.  Tested a variety of sticks from different manufacturers, Eventually found this Crucial ram that does work with our systems.  Maybe it will work for yours?

Cheers!
