The moment you decide to make a machine a dedicated cruncher, when the only reason for it to exist is for crunching, you have turned the corner and gone to the point of no return.

This can sneak up on you too. You could build a new rig, then decide to keep the old one around, "just for a while" to crunch.

Pretty soon you evaluate hardware on it's crunching potential, and forget about gaming, etc. You have become a farmer at that point.

Most also have pretty wicked "daily drivers" but when you have farm rigs the equal of it in CPU and Mobo, you have arrived....

I think we call that an addiction.

ChaoticAtmosphere · May 8, 2009, 09:49 PM

Whats wrong with your machine? Which stepping did you get? I wish i had spare parts.. I think they are all crunching...

I'll try and help you as much as possible. By the way I am CompTIA A+ certified.

Crunch on!

ALso need to install my water cooling. Damn this 955 crunches over those p4 like a mofo.

9h-10h hours for one world Vs 3h-30min -45m on the AMD 955

Mindweaver · May 9, 2009, 01:52 AM

Just added an E6600 to the farm.. It was just setting there folding only using 5% CPU...

Oh and serving players for left 4 dead..

Great game!

That new AM3 955 does kick a lot of ass! Of course i do like Chicken_Patty's i7 as well.. I'm still waiting to pull the trigger on either.. Waiting for prices to drop.. If I had to buy one right now.. I would go with the i7 920.. It's only $30 more than the 955, and the x58 has crossfire and SLI... Plus triple channel memory...

Don't get me wrong I'm a big AMD fan! (I want my stock to go up!

) but i'm a big Intel fan too.. hehe

I agree with your post. The thing with the i7 is i've had the best of both worlds so far. Not a 955, but I did have a Phenom II 940 already. THe i7 is just ridiculously fast in windows, the HT helps me so much that I can't believe it till this date. Crunching, gaming, browsing, tons of stuff open and the computer fails to slow down. Its a monster!

DaMulta · May 9, 2009, 01:13 PM

It's stable also

I tried and tried to get the NB up to 3400 but it just wanted to many volts than I wanted to run. Not that I couldnt......

Chicken Patty · May 9, 2009, 02:00 PM

didnt you do that previously already D?

looks like the 955 is something else
