Thanks stinger- Too late now Still sticking to my 5,000 ppd plan/1 mil points by years end... for now so no worries for you. I think the balance of my effort is going to recruiting

It should do well and Thanks again Now I just have to figure out how to navigate through an ASUS BIOS MSI/Gigabyte are nearly identical and I'm used to those

Thanks Captain

Here's what I've got for now....

Cruncher 1 (Trish) MSI 790GX with a 960T
Cruncher 2 (Julia) ASUS 790FX with a 720BE* online by the weekend
*will try it unlocked- stability was an issue unlocked in my other boards
Main Rig ASUS 990X with an FX-6200 @4Ghz
Will have 13-14 cores total available for crunching!!!

Once I get Julia running I will probably back off on my main rig a little bit to maintain 5,000 ppd and have a little reserve.

P.S> I guess I got a little Thanks crazy.... lost my button

NICE! its good to see you up an running! Can't wait to see these put out some MASSIVE PPD!

This case has a wiring friendly window

Too bad it's only temporary :rolleyes:

Vista 64 is loaded and activated... now loading updates and other software. 122 Vista updates so far :banghead:

why did you load vista?

It's an OS I had available and it's 64 bit (64 bit OS's given an extra 10% in points per day (ppd))... that being said, I wish I had an extra Windows 7 license :eek:

Norton Heres the Irony, for the AF where I worked at, they had Athlon II X2 CPUs 4GB Ram etc with Win Vista Enterprise- Well ontop of the Vista services there are AF services, Talk about a major slow down on performance. Well the AF Changed to Win 7 Enterprise- Talk about a major difference in Speed, those machines are faster than they ever were.

Thats why I asked why You put Vista on, but ya it sux u cant get a license for trading that Vista disk for a 7 disk

I prefer XP over Vista.... most people do but the 10% is too tempting to not try. Will eventually find a valid Win7 license for it.

Vista sucks

I know I've mentioned this before, so apologies, but if you get a std Technet subscription ($150/yr) you can use any MS OS you want and you will get multiple keys for most of them. Plus, from what I've heard, the activation codes continue to work even if you let your subscription expire - but I'm not absolutely positive about that. Just make sure that you've recorded all of the codes since you won't be able to get into your account once it has lapsed for more than a few weeks to a month. I had that problem last year.

I have a Windows 7 Pro COA if your interested.

Cool.

I'll sit over there-----> and hold down the vista fort. :toast:

I've gave up on my build till this weekend. I need to get about a 30ft lan cable so it will have nets where I am putting it.

I also do too, I have a net gear wireless N and a nice Rockwell wireless N

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Mar 30, 2012

I have one also but the fricken thing don't like it. My Linux box and win xp system use it quiet well. I'm just going to pick up a cable tomorrow and run it straight into the router since this cruncher will be replacing me wifes Athlon xp machine. Just happens she is set up diagonally across the room from the router. I have the router sitting on my desk with my main 2 rigs. My Linux box is at the other end of the house in my bedroom ( it makes a great night light for the baby) and it's using the usb adapter.

I saw them- Thanks :toast:

Unfortunately I'm running low on funds.... going to keep my eye out for 6870's which I will be looking for when I have some $$$ to spend in a couple of month's. May pick up a 7870 for my main rig and move the 6870 over to the cruncher
