Title: Anyone tried one of these new Dual NIC AMD NUC machines?
Post by: marshalleq on August 08, 2020, 02:31:46 AM
In my never ending journey to try and find some little box that's easy on power and easy on the wallet, this might be my new favourite.

AMD are pretty good on power too. 

Not sure what the NIC's are yet.

Browsing around the site, I see four other models with dual NIC including this older INTEL i3 for US$289 https://store.minisforum.com/collections/home-mini-pc-series/products/minisforum-u500-h-mini-pc however there are also new ones coming.

Has anyone tried one?

I'm also interested to know.  I have an older AMD (Turion II) that i'm testing 20.7 against, and had to include the following to get it to boot.. so it may still be necessary on newer AMD processors (not 100% certain though)

I don't think there's anything special required for linux and AMD these days, they've been around for long enough now.  However BSD & AMD I'm not 100% on.
