Boot firmware - coreboot

The Vikings D8 comes with a version of coreboot and SeaBIOS payload without binary blobs.

One of the good things about having a libre-friendly system is that you can replace the boot firmware from user-space of your operating system. This is fairly easy even for the untrained and Vikings can send instructions on how to do that if unfamiliar.

CPU(s)

This system comes with an 8-core AMD Opteron 4200-series CPUs installed. Available is:

• a highly performant (95W TDP) 8-core Opteron 4284 CPU with 3.0/3.3/3.7 GHz (base/full load turbo/half load turbo)
• a highly power efficient (35W TDP) 8-core Opteron 4256 EE CPU with 1.6/1.9/2.8 GHz (base/full load turbo/half load turbo)

You can order the Vikings D8 with a second CPU (increasing the available CPU cores to 16 and requires the Seasonic PSU).

A quiet cooling solution is always included.

Memory

8GB of DDR3 RAM are included, which is generally a good starting point for most computing needs in the office and at home. You can upgrade RAM in 8GB increments to suit additional needs.

Graphics

You can order this system without a discrete GPU, e.g. if you would like to install a graphics card yourself.

Audio

The ASUS MIO Audio 892 sound card delivers a high definition audio experience. With an enhanced signal-to-noise ratio and 7.1 surround sound, this card offers great sound quality and complements the robust video power of this workstation.

Power supply

In January 2020 we've upgraded our D8 Workstation to a fully modular Seasoic Focus GX 80+ Gold power supply that is very quiet and reliable.
Vikings ships with a power plug or adapter that is commonly used at the recipients address at no additional charge.

Midi tower computer case

Our midi tower convinces due to its thought-out, robust design and has a variety of features.

Now with Trisquel GNU/Linux preinstalled!

Trisquel GNU/Linux (a fully libre Ubuntu derivative) comes preinstalled included in the price*. If you decide ordering the Vikings X200 without an SSD or HDD we won't be able to install an operating system for you.

Optionally you can order this system without a preinstalled operating system, e.g. if you would like to install an operating system yourself. Your options are almost limitless; Vikings recommends using an operating system that follows the FSF guidelines for a free system distribution.

The D8 Workstation contains the following refurbished/used parts: mainboard & CPU. Vikings does rigorous testing of all parts and also gives a comprehensive guarantee for all parts of the system.
