ASUS EAX1300PRO Preview

Filed under
Hardware

Released late last year was ATI's next generation GPU solution for gamers on a budget. The budget part, the X1300, came in three varieties -- X1300, X1300PRO, and X1300 Hyper Memory. All three of these graphical processors possess identical features to the X1600, X1800, and X1900 series; however, they utilize less pipes and lower clock speeds. Of course, the X1300 part is designed to compete against NVIDIA's recently released GeForce 7300GS and to replace the previous Radeon X300 edition. The specifications for the X1300PRO include a 600MHz core clock, 800MHz (400MHz x 2) memory clock, and 128-bit memory interface with 256MB of video memory. The X1300PRO also utilizes a 90 nanometer manufacturing process and four pixel pipelines. Meanwhile, the vanilla alternative runs with a 450MHz core clock and 500MHz effective memory clock, while the Hyper Memory variant provides a 450MHz core clock with 1000MHz effective memory frequency. If you will recall with the introduction of the X300 and its Hyper Memory abilities, it has the capabilities to address system memory for video use. ATI's Hyper Memory is similar to NVIDIA's Turbo Cache and XGI's eXtreme Cache. Onto the subject of Linux support for these various solutions, lately NVIDIA has offered support for their GeForce 7 parts on launch-date, while ATI has not yet offered any X1000 support to their Linux display drivers. Even though the X1300PRO cannot enjoy the benefits of 3D acceleration under Linux, or any of ATI's proprietary features, it is compatible with X.Org's VESA driver for 2D usage, and later on in this preview, we will share some exclusive details as to when penguin users will see software improvements from ATI Technologies. The X1300 RV515 part we have our hands on today is the EAX1300PRO from ASUS.

  • How to install go1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04 – NextGenTips

    In this tutorial, we are going to explore how to install go on Ubuntu 22.04 Golang is an open-source programming language that is easy to learn and use. It is built-in concurrency and has a robust standard library. It is reliable, builds fast, and efficient software that scales fast. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel-type systems enable flexible and modular program constructions. Go compiles quickly to machine code and has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. In this guide, we are going to learn how to install golang 1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04. Go 1.19beta1 is not yet released. There is so much work in progress with all the documentation.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
