TriRan

what are you looking to spend? cyberpower has some decent stuff listed plus its all customizable so you could get the parts you want in it you just might wind up spending a tad more

ok so i realize there is a 7990 coming out from amd as a gpu....any ideas if this will blow away the 6990 or is it just a minimal increase of performance with a lower power consumption or something.

and is there anything newer than a 590 from nvidia coming out to blow anything out of the water? if not i know what im going with.

unless someone has some tips, i'd be going with a 6990 as a gpu....like i said, unless someone has a good reason not to or there is something q1 this year coming to blow it away.

definately will be lower nm so less power / heat with similiar performance i'd imagine nothing mind blowing i'm sure

Sweet, I bet two thirds of that 5k was early return points.( Bonus Point Calc ) Huzza!

Do any of your guys' machines throw off a lot of heat? I got a Pentium 4 which i don't fold on that heats the room more in 2 hours then my newer computer does in a day. California 40 degree mornings and 70 degree days this week mean heat isn't a bad thing though. Stanford did mention that folding machines are turned off in the summer months. Just wondering.

my heavily OC'd Phenom II X4 does it heats up to about 60C and can heat my bedroom up to 90F in about 30 minutes which is why i only fold on it at night when the cool air can keep my room temp down

my other two systems have moderate OC's and stay much cooler even while folding they don't rise above 100F

wow! i did a 5k pt WU today while at work O.O

i meant more of a using 4GB of ram on a 32bit OS can cause or so i have heard, i've never experienced this myself

My modem looks exactly the same ca3le and I agree his level of service is what has him sync'd with d2.0

I have heard using more then the supported amount of ram can cause glitches glad you got it sorted

I'm gonna send you some info when I get off work it might be an option for you

thinking about (if the gf wont kill me for using even more electricity!) building a decent/cheap computer to fold 24/7. along with me just literally 2 minutes ago setting up my ps3 for folding. (gonna hook up the laptop hdmi to tv and watch some hulu) lol.

on a side note, im desperately trying to convince the gf i "need" a new computer. its gonna have a 6990 in it along with either an ivy core (if i can wait) or a 3930k i7. so considering that which folding client should i use on that one (if i actually get to do the build)?

edit/ on a side note, i remember mudman you helped out alot on my first system for folding...if i get to do what i plan with new computers this year, you gonna be ready to help out some more?

mudman is always ready and willing to help! XD

my 3 phenom systems are still crunching nicely if i didn't turn F@H off on one of them part of the day i'd probably have broke 30k today

Ohh lol that makes sense I didn't see you folding anymore

Hi TriRan. I've kinda jumped around in this thread, so I'm not sure what you were referring to when you said "I do" above.

i see the full flash graph that you see on your pc because android supports flash

oh face time is what you can do from your phone...right??

only apple phones, ipod touches, and ipads can do facetime its an apple only thing

i do but i don't run apple mobile devices android is my platform!

i've used it for years i enjoy it, works very well imo

yeah my ping shoots up to 100 on a hop inside the US so definately congestion somewhere stateside before it hops the pond

i get similar results atm

there are lots of websites that do reviews lol tomshardware overclocking etc all do reviews of various computer hardware

My 3 phenom systems seem to be chugging along nicely I'm going to add a couple Athlon II x2's when I get back from cali

almost all "high speed internet services" won't be free they all have a service fee including satellite internet

the only free internet i know of is dial up

What package do you have from rr. Com?

first off go here https://testmy.net/download

then click run smart test

as seen in this screen shot

won't those just take longer to complete and not neccessarily offer any more ppd?

btw i just added 2 boxes to fold, a Phenom II 945 X4 at 3.4GHz and a Phenom II 1090T BE X6 at 3.7GHz ontop of my X4 at 4.1GHz ^^

Mud: I found a quadcore client to out perform 4 single core clients. Hyperthreaded cpus are not recommended unless there are more then 2 physical cores, else double the work gets done in half the time and science slows waiting for your results. I would recommend against running 5 threads on a 4 thread machine as collisions of "is cpu busy? Yes" would happen all the time, unless your already taking this into account. In fact on the hyperthreaded 4 physical 8 logical core i7s, seven cores at full load out perform eight cores at full load.

TriRan: Only the smp client with its large memory usage and high system requirements has an early return bonus. The idea of "early bonus" came from bigadv units that required 20-100 megabyte uploads verses 1mb results file from your radeon. Points FAQ said:

Vijay Pande said, donors really pick up in the winter months while folding machines are turned off in the hot summers.

oh okay! are there any special -args i need to use to get the bonus points then?

Team is still picking up steam with you guys adding more power great work! We are starting to climb back up the rankings at a pretty good speed now. One bonus for me is all my computers are in the basement which can get a bit chilly in the winter. With FAH going 24/7 my feet stay nice and toasty. I don't even have the heaters turned on

Dec. 19th stats

lol i know! i've been leaving my window open 24/7 and my computer is generating enough heat to keep me warm while i'm on it!

btw am i not getting early turn in bonuses? i'm getting roughly 500 pts per WU my video card chews out and it doesn't appear to be offering any bonuses of any sort
