Very true, but at least it's an addiction that you can feel good about having

very true, I am very proud of my addiction

I think i found a solution to the problem of wanting a D0... Save money buy a D0 keep the C0 and later grab the DFI X58+3gb ddr3 (1x3gb) and replace the Pentium D with a i7

I like your way of thinking

Yo, your screws go out tomorrow. I got my car finally fixed from the a/c shop on Tuesday, then wednesday and today I was just busy man, sorry.

The promise has been fulfilled. The Kuma is spending it's final 4 days with me crunching rather than idly sitting in a corner. Maybe once I get the computer to my aunt, I can convince her to run it... I already asked her once before I built it, but she said no. Maybe once she starts using it and sees that it's stable and all, she'll change her mind.

Bah. Looks like it's just not possible. Tonight, the power to the whole appartment went out for about half a minute. I figure the power strain of running 5 computers (3 in my specs, plus my mom's computer and the new one I built for my aunt) was too much for it to handle.

Hope no damage was done. The 5 systems shouldnt be drawing enough to loose power. Is it an old building? Old electrical pannel and service?

hat · Mar 5, 2010

Yeah it is kinda dated.

In daily use i didn't notice any difference between the i7@4ghz vs the X2 240@4ghz

i know that wasn't directed at me but i just wanted to give my input....

I need to sell my C0 and get a D0 so i can do 4ghz 24/7 without alot of voltage.

i got everything for WCing but the pump i still have to wait for it who knows how long that will take

(FIH) The Don said:
it feels very nice, i did have one before, 2 actually.

but yeah, i feel that i have a much more powerfull machine now than when i had my AMD rig(not that its bad at all)

and no, i dont feel ANY difference in games with the i7 vs PII 965

Chicken Patty said:
I actually feel my AMD rig a lot quicker, even before the SSD. Now with the SSD holy crap, the mouse moves faster !

It is all about the crunching power of an i7 :toast:

I am sure gaming on a AMD rig is about the same, but we are crunchers as well as gamers...

neoreif · Mar 5, 2010

Good day guys! just been to the WCG/BOINC website and saw this:

http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/29568.wss

This is another victory for all of us here on the team and all those people who give their computer time in the name of humanitarian effort!
Hope this would be incentive enough for those peole who aren't crunching yet to join!

To the TechPower Up WCG/BOINC Team! :toast:

CRUNCH ON! :rockout:

This is great stuff, very glad to see this. Thanks for posting the link.

TO TPU/WCG Team and everybody who crunches :toast :toast:

(FIH) The Don · Mar 5, 2010

woot, will check my tax returns later today

if i get like 1000$ i will build a dedicated cruncher, maybe some c2q

EDIT: bad news, have 2 pay 1200$ back in taxes,

glad i'm getting 2k inholiday pay on may 1st.

so noo hw upgrades the next month or 2

Chicken Patty · Mar 5, 2010

Take care of your stuff bro, that's more important. Good luck :toast:

Could you turn off the Athlon XP and run the other computer instead? Should give ~2x the PPD

hat · Mar 5, 2010

Nope. The Athlon XP does more than just crunching. I need it to be on.

Well, in that case, I guess it makes the most sense to leave it on. What else do you use if for?

What do you crunch on?

I'm currently crunching on :

Core i7 @ 4.0 GHz
Xeon 3060 @ 3.0 GHz
Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ Stock
Core 2 Duo E6600 @ Stock

Will be adding more soon =)

(FIH) The Don · Mar 5, 2010

freakin nice bro, ^^

good job on crunching :toast:

xrealm20 · Mar 5, 2010

the last two are my work computers -- hence why they are at stock speeds

no overclocking options on dells

That's awesome dude, you should get some pretty sweet PPD with those :toast:

Radical_Edward · Mar 5, 2010

Well, I got something that may help with my network that seems to be ever growing with new crunchers. (I'm need a hard drive for #3 and it'll be up and running!

)

Got them both for $9.99 at my local goodwill.

Here's some links to what I have at netgear's website.

Router

PCI card

i would if had unlimited funds :roll:

xrealm20 · Mar 5, 2010

Just sold the Xeon 3060 setup -- going to purchase an Phenom II X555 BE and see if I can get another quad crunching

blkhogan · Mar 5, 2010

I dont know if its a WGC thing that is taking out networking equipment. Strange we are running into problems. I lost a belkin wireless card lastnight. :shadedshu Have a back up so its not a real problem. Ive never lost or had any network problems in the past. Maybe with the oc's and the pressure we are putting on our rigs is taking out the weakest links? Ive lost a router and now a wireless card. They are cheap though, going to stock up with a few extra cards and an extra router, just in case. :toast:

xrealm20 · Mar 5, 2010

I've never had a wireless card fail, but routers seem to go out about every year around my house. They are just manufactured with cheap parts and just don't last.

I actually invested in a cisco AP that i managed to get cheap - and an old pix 501 router - works great, and hopefully the stuff won't die anytime soon

theonedub · Mar 5, 2010

My other WRT54G failed about this time last year, and during the summer months I lost my Linksys 54g USB adapter. I agree some routers just are not meant to last, and I chalk the USB adapters death to the heat.

hat · Mar 5, 2010

Hm... power went out today and it gave me plenty of time to lap my new AII x2 240. Load temp is now 23-25c instead of 30-32c.
