Para_franck has pulled ahead. His overall ppd is just a slight bit higher than mine.

Congrats to him and all the stoners!

Wait until the crunching bug sets in.
"Oh hey! There's a good deal on a little system! That would raise my total PPD to just over <insert current PPD goal here>."
Rinse and repeat.

Oh how true - and painful. I have a bid in on 2 14 core chips as we speak - again. It's a f***ing disease I tell you, A DAMNED DISEASE!!! I might need to check myself into rehab somewhere.

I don't need to worry about the addiction, my budget (or lack thereof) keeps me in check.

Step by step, said the badger to the snake. Crunching is as gifts sometimes, intention is the most important thing

That's because i bet you are not using 100% of those CPUs you lazy badger!

Correct, because im using my work computer for crunching, as soon as i finish my crunching build i will stop using this one, or maybe using it at the lowest settings,

so in a near future twin stoners!

Spoiler: peche's future twin stoners

Pit Bulls are such cute puppies.

 

[Para_Franck]

Pit Bulls are such cute puppies.

But they are dangerous, they will eat your face while you sleep and go drop your digested remains on your mother's lawn! They should not exist, cause everyone knows that there are no bad owners, only bad dogs!
(Yes, it is sarcasm)

I wonder if he's related?

So I got my hands on an old Xeon setup. (dual x5482 Quad core cpu at 3.2Ghz and D5400XS Motherboard). I'am thinking that it will be my new(old) crunching rig, but I am missing a few parts. Anybody has a power supply, ddr2 memory, or e-atx case? Do you guys think it is a good investment, or should I just throw the thing away? It was functional when my friend dismantled it last year. He was tired of seeing it picking up dust and wanted to throw it away.

That is where I came in and rescued the poor thing from a certain death, but I need your help bringing it back to life, or deciding to let it rest forever!
(Maybe you could advise me on where to post this the get the most help, not sure if the Milestone tread is the right place)

You should be able to get $60 each on ebay if you decide to sell them and know that they work.

You don't need much memory to just run BOINC but you will need more if you want to use the machine as your primary. Those chips have a TDP of 150w each so you will want at least a 600w psu. I'm sure someone here has one. If you're in the EU though, shipping is a problem for those of us in the states.

You should probably post this in the crunchers helping crunchers thread to get the best response.

Here's the specs on that proc. Looks like it's Core based, so it might be worth running. Twilly beat me to most of the things I was thinking of.

You'll get some PPD, but not a lot. Yes, every bit helps the teams and science, but it's going to be low PPD per watt. TBH, you probably want a S1366, S1155 or newer.

[manofthem]

Additionally, did anyone else experience some crazy lag on this thread recently? I was, and I think it had to do with that cute little puppy gif I posted last night, so I had to take it out

Just wondering
