New Year New Projects

Now that I’ve gotten through our OOD, I can now start on my personal projects at home. I guess during the move or sometime after the CPU fan on the machine that I had hosting an Oracle Apps 11.5.10 envrionment froze up. Dead CPU. I’ve been waiting a few months to get through this busy season at work before replacing parts. 478 socket stuff is getting hard to find. Fry’s doesn’t carry anthing any more. CPU fans, CPU’s. E-bay has them, after watching prices for a month. They don’t seem to be dropping.

I bought cpu this week on e-bay. P4 1MB 3.0Ghz 478 . For a fair price. Since I’m not going to re-install the apps. I might be able to break out a couple of machines from this one.

I have an extra P4 2MB 3.0 Ghz 775 chip. Got it for 50 bucks so it will be worth getting a MB and a cheap vid card. The MB needs to be DDR compatible. My memory is PC3200 stuff. I might just use it as the new DB server.
