D-UAE Dedicated Amiga Emulation Station- Preorders for the Next Run

[som99]

@c64man - You did a typo, there ain't no Sempron 2200+ socket S1 you mean the 2100+ (1GHz) CPU

Does this perform well with the PPC emulation from the latest winuae betas? Is it at least as usable in that regard (performance-wise) as a csppc or bppc?

A low power 1GHz CPU do not perform to well for PPC emulation no.

Sempron 2200+ - are they even available new now? Which motherboard are you pairing this with?

So far he has been using HP t5735 Thin Clients, which are nice little machines, tho a 1GHz CPU is not the hottest on the market but enough for most normal Amiga emulation.

They work great for what they are.  Im waiting for the t5740s to come down in price,  then they will be intel atom based,  but those are still selling for 75 bucks a piece.    Ive not had any complaints,  and people love them.

In most cases the Sempron 2100+ is a lot faster then the Atom N280 (overall 26% faster), even tho the Atom is clocked at 1.66GHz and the Sempron at 1GHz the Atom is slower per clock since the Atom is meant to be more power efficient.
2.5W TDP vs 8W TDP.

So I would stay with the T573x series since they are faster.

The pros is that the T5740 can handle up to 4GB ram and has SATA, but for what it will be used for I would pick CPU power in this case.

I do not care that he is selling them, but I care that he is stating it's a Sempron 2200+ which is a 1,5GHz CPU but in reality it only has the AMD Mobile Sempron 2100+ which is at 1GHz, that's quite the difference, the strange thing is that I have nicely pointed it out a few times without any response and he keeps writing that it's another CPU then that is.

That is plainly lying to customers. Would you be happy if you bought a computer said to be 1.5GHz and got a 1GHz CPU or a 3GHz computer that only is a 2GHz computer? Same % difference and that's not even mentioning that the Mobile CPU has lower performance per clock then the desktop one he is claiming it to be. He have even replied that it's a 1.8GHz CPU at one point.

So he keep making threads stating it has a CPU it don't and do not edit the threads after beeing told so over and over.

But sure I can sell a 030 accelerator and state it has a MMU CPU clocked at 50MHz and the person will get a non MMU 33MHz CPU card, I am sure no one would mind...

It's not like it's hard to press edit on a post and fix it, he even writes false specs on other places then this, he can not have missed it since it's been pointed out many times now.

I started out nicely talking to him giving him advice in how to upgrade the CPU if he wanted to and I can even suply him with a custom BIOs I made that adds CPU ID's for faster CPU's then the Original BIOS ROM can handle, I myself have a lot of thin clients so I know what I am talking about, ive soldered another RAM socket and got a 2.2GHz CPU running on the exact same system.

How can no one else then me and cgutjahr see that this is a problem?

Heres the blog post about it with everything you need to know including a demo video

The specs still states it's a Sempron 2200+ which is a 1.5GHz CPU but there is actually a Mobile Sempron 2100+ 1GHz cpu, why do you not edit that, why do you balantly ignore when someone tell you that?

If this is the kind of reaction im going to get from this project then they will go on ebay and thats where they will stay,  in fact ive sold a number on ebay and have had no complaints about the pricing specs or anything.  

Im not trying to make a killing off these things,  Just trying to cover my costs.  And I will be releasing a clonezilla image of the config once I sort out the costs for that.   I designed this system and Im not going to just give it away.   Sorry I worked too hard on this just to do that.

Appreciate that you are not trying to make a killing of the machines and I have not complained about that, but you have not replied even once on why you keep writing the wrong CPU and wrong speeds of it.
I have not complained on anything about your project just plainly pointed out that you keep writing the wrong CPU and you keep ignoring it, making new threads still writing wrong.

Why do you ignore it, why do you not just change it to the correct information about the specifications of your machine?
If you do not know how to check what CPU is used in the machine you can see this in BIOS, in windows system overview and to be 100% sure install CPU-Z to see detailed specifications about the CPU.
Here you got the specs of the machine from HP: http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=c04142146
No one on ebay have complained because they haven't noticed it, but that doesn't make it right to falsely advertise the wrong specifications. Even now you did not reply on why you keep writing the wrong cpu?
