Only the AMD Hyper *Transport*, which is why it's in there for data serving.

So no, no Intel HyperThreading and shared state silliness on a single
CPU core.

Ouch!

No OC and I've had it at 100% CPU utilisation running Boinc projects.
Also checked out with memtest86+ and a HDD diagnostics.

I may well try it with Bonnie to check out the HDDs/IO and fs.

Not in use at the moment. I'm ssh'd in via a terminal.

It will have the greeter login screen displayed. There's KDE on there if
used. No office or graphics or media stuff. No sound either. Just samba
and imap and the default sundry stuff for the time being.


Erk, so where to search next...

Cheers,
Martin
