Ooh, shiny! A new machine, and it has a Core 2 Quad processor! Everything's going to run so much faster now! Or is it? When you have four processor cores, does that mean everything runs four times faster? Or is everything still running on the first CPU and ignoring the others? How do you find out, and how do you make the best use of that shiny new multi-core processor?
Lubuntu Welcome to the Lubuntu-Page on Launchpad. Members of the Lubuntu team take care of LXDE and other packages that are part of the planned Lubuntu install. Please join us and contribute creating a lighter, less resource hungry and more energy-efficient Linux Desktop. It is our goal to make Linux run on more cost-effective machines and MIDs besides Intel CPUs based on ARM and Mips.
If you measure value in decades and don't care about appearances then industrial supplies are always the way to go. The previously-reviewed McMaster-Carr Online Catalog is the granddaddy of all industrially-minded geeks, but their focus is on tooling and indoor industrial items.

Numascale's SMP Adapter is an HTX card made to be used with commodity servers with AMD processors that feature an HTX connector to its HyperTransport interconnect.
Energy efficiency is not related just to power (kWh) requirement, or cooling requirements, or performance (MIPs) - it pertains to all of these variables. And it's not just a data center issue - it is critical for organizations of all sizes and scopes. To get started improving your energy efficiency, use the Dell Data Center Capacity Planner to understand how your choices impact your energy use.
So, does anyone by chance know of a way I might be able to get to the OK prompt? Or of a way to reset all the OpenBoot variables to their defaults? Maybe a jumper to remove and replace? I'd rather not take the battery out (or something similar) to clear the memory like you would the BIOS of a PC.
