Like the ones I have under the user name "y" and "Stresstest:)" ?

We know who you are and what you have done so far. No worries. And were just a week old, might as well do it in the beginning

I just got a new laptop at work, and if I dont' have to give my current one back I'll use it to add to the processing power.

Granted it's only a p3 700, but every little bit helps.

im waiting for when Xciter gets a chance to add some of his firepower to our team.

Vindicator · Post by **Vindicator** » Wed Sep 01, 2004 11:24 pm

Wont happen. He's fallen to number 2 overall so he's currently assembling another room full of PC's in a desperate bid to reclaim the top spot.

Cool

Scary thing is I have the second most (at this time) 24 on the team.

Iceman · Post by **Iceman** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 10:55 am

Haven't been able to access the team stats all day ... checked http://forum.folding-community.org/index.php to see if there was a problem ... evidently the problem is mine.

Could someone post the latest stats fer moi?

Thx

Thx ... 14,476.56 total ... WOOT!

Note: Leave out the top 5 scorers and we still have nearly 5000 points ... Just goes to show you that all contributions count ...

[edit] I can get thru now ...

Team Id 39070
Grand Score 15010.4 (certificate)
Work Unit Count 289 (certificate)
Team Ranking (incl. aggregate) 2448 of 32816

That puts us in the top 7.5% of the teams

2000 will come real quick at this rate, you're right.

Listen guys. For those of you that want a very powerful workstation at a very cheap price considering, check this out.

I just purchased a dual Xeon system and have mass parts here so all I needed was the CPUs and board.
There is this great deal on now for a matched pair of low voltage 1.6Ghz HT CPUs over here for $119 shipped in the US. The link on that page called "Crazed Overclockers" is a link to the Anandtech forums where everyone is overclocking the hell outa these things to the likes of 2.6~2.8Ghz. Add to that a Asus PC-DL mobo for 180 @ mwave.com and for under 300 you can have 5.2Ghz +.

I really don't need it, but I ordered them anyway, and figure they will churn out WU's faster then any 2 systems here can do combined

Avder · Post by **Avder** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 3:38 pm

does that mobo have onboard video and lan? If so all I would need would be a case, some ram, hdd, and a CD drive.

Iceman · Post by **Iceman** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 3:49 pm

Onboard LAN and Audio, not Gfx
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDe ... 055&depa=0

HEY STRESS >> I have a 3Ghz dual xeon here and I cannot get my two processes to take more than 25% of the cpu time (50% of total processing). Any idea what the prob is? I assume that since hyperthreading is turned on and the OS reports that I have 4 CPUs instead of 2 that F@H gets confused ...

I suppose I could just run 2 more processes on this box but I would rather keep it to 2 at 50% each.

Any help wood b appreshated ... I am wasting 3Ghz here

Avder · Post by **Avder** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 3:55 pm

hm, i just looked at the asus boards on newegg. the cheap one doesnt have on board video, but considering im going to try to pick up at 6800GT, I can do the hand me down thing. Also, what kinds of ram would work in this thing? it says it needs unbuffered ECC. What exactly does that mean?

STRESSTEST · Post by **STRESSTEST** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 4:58 pm

vader, no vid, but giga lan

ice, I think you would need 4 threads for 100% usage on that box. Not sure, but Jim would know

Vindicator · Post by **Vindicator** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 5:29 pm

omg... /me wants teh doolies

Hum...how long is that price gonna be availible? I wont have money for at least two weeks.

STRESSTEST · Post by **STRESSTEST** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 5:43 pm

been going for over a month
but if you are going to go for it, do it very soon. At least snag the CPUs as soon as you can afford 120 bucks. The board will be around for some time, but Im not sure about the deal on the CPUs

Gooberman · Post by **Gooberman** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 5:59 pm

Hey mine finished, I guess it helps to not touch your computer for 3 days!

206 points for one WU!

Avder · Post by **Avder** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 6:39 pm

Hmm...I wont have 120 for two weeks, I dont suppose you'd consider grabbing them for me and i could just pay you for the chips and shipping when I do get money? Dont do it right away if you do, cause I still need to think about wether I wanna assemble another system, but just think about it.

Oh, and could someone asnwer my question about the RAM?

ecc or normal ddr. Non registered

Avder · Post by **Avder** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 6:44 pm

Erm, nm....forgot that new egg lists that stuff with ram. How much ram would you reccomend for a system like that? 1G? and if im gonna be overclocking these things, what grade DDR should I pick up?

Iceman · Post by **Iceman** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 6:48 pm

Neither NewEgg or Monarch offer Xeon processors less than 2.4Ghz any more. I suspect that once these are gone ... no more.

Avder · Post by **Avder** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 6:52 pm

Hmm...I'll have a decision on wether I wanna build this thing within the next day or so hopefully.

CDN_Merlin · Post by **CDN_Merlin** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 7:21 pm

Don't want to be an ass but I'm sure some of you have labeled me one already so here goes.

How come this thread hasn't been closed/moved to DBb Marketplace?

Avder · Post by **Avder** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 7:32 pm

Because its about folding, not buying stuff., @$$

STRESSTEST · Post by **STRESSTEST** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 8:25 pm

The right question to ask merlin is WTF don't we have a folding forum yet...

STRESSTEST · Post by **STRESSTEST** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 8:26 pm

post count..

And Jim, I planned on talking to you once I get this system up

This is about folding? Since when is asking someone to buy something for you about folding?

Avder · Post by **Avder** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 8:41 pm

Merlin, do one of two things:

1. Read this thread from the beginning or

2. Go stick your head in a snowbank

Vindicator · Post by **Vindicator** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 8:42 pm

I second the forum idea.
