 ###KGPE-D16
 #####General (Libreboot-20160907)
   * RAM is sensitive, less is safer. See [coreboot wiki](https://www.coreboot.org/Board:asus/kgpe-d16) for working configurations
+  * Use 62xx-series CPUs, because Libreboot does not update (proprietary) microcode. (See [Libreboot](https://libreboot.org/docs/hardware/kgpe-d16.html))
   * Internal GPU works (for text mode only), note the hardware switch (see motherboard manual)
   * Use PS/2 keyboard if problem with USB keyboard
   * North bridge (?) gets hot
   * 2x 6276 CPUs (almost always) draws between 200 and 400 watt.
-  * note there are two ethernet ports and one IPMI (not used)
-  * RAM order is important see motherboard manual

+  * RAM order is important, see motherboard manual
   * Hardware jumpers for GPU, ethernet etc.
-  * when booting Gentoo I used: Gentoo with dedicated GPU and Gentoo-nofb with integrated GPU. This worked.
+  * Note: It is necessary to have a dedicated sound card and graphics card, if those features are desired.

 #####Using 
   * GRUB is recommended. But SeaBIOS has worked better when booting from CD-ROM or USB.

   * If problems booting, disconnect power and remove CMOS battery for a couple of seconds.
   * The default script in GRUB does not work with encrypted boot-partition (can manually boot)
 
-#####Our configurations
-We have working KGPE-D16 machine up right now. Something with video codex crashes the machine however, otherwise fast.
+#####Quirks / Random
+  * When booting Gentoo I used: Gentoo with dedicated GPU and Gentoo-nofb with integrated GPU. This worked.
+  * In GRUB the USB keyboard is unusably slow. Fix: always have a PS/2 keyboard connected, but use the USB keyboard.
 
-TODO HW config?
+#####Running machine (Debian Stretch)
 
-TODO SW config?
+* 1x 6276 CPU
+* 2x 16GB 1600Mhz Reg-ECC *MT36JSF2G72PZ-1G6E1LG (HP: 672612-081)* [max 32GB/CPU!](https://www.coreboot.org/Board:asus/kgpe-d16/known_bad_configs)
+* Nvidia GTX 660, Nouveau drivers but crashes when playing videos. Probably my fault however.
+* For software config and settings see: https://github.com/Eliot-Roxbergh/dotFIles/
