Xbox Live Tag: EBrown8534 My friend has been using it for me lately, so I may or may not be on. (Actually, 99% of the time I don't even use it. Haven't played the Xbox myself in a couple weeks. Thanks, EBrown

It was two GPU's on one board. I managed to get it working, turns out I had to use the -forcegpu flag to get it in Gen 2 for my lesser card. (It must auto-detect the primary or something.) I am going to kick folding on again tonight or tomorrow. Thanks, EBrown

Well guys, the AC in my house isn't working correctly, so to avoid my house turning into an oven, I have to stop folding for a little while. I guess I probably should anyway, my GPU's need a little time to cool down. Lol Thanks, EBrown

Hah, it's kind of funny, the one guy on the team, "Marsh", wants to try to beat me in PPD. He told us, "I'll beat you by tomorrow." That was, two, days ago I think. He does it for a couple hours a day, so he is still helping the team, but it keeps lagging his comp. Lol My PPD will be leveling off soon. Once I get to college it will be dropping, because I won't be folding 24/7. I still want to help with it, so as I said earlier I will fold when I am in classes and stuff. Thanks, EBrown

That sounds killer! I got my 9800GT folding again. So now they're both kicking away, although the 9800GT can only pump GPU2 projects, either way, they are both still screming. Thanks, EBrown

Oh cool! You should get some sick PPD from that then. My GPU keeps pumping out Project 8020, getting some awesome points from it, especially for the time invested. Thanks, EBrown

I did. He really wanted to help with the research, and he was asking me, "Elliott, do you have a team?" And I told him, I said, "Nah, I fold for a team for a forum I am on." And he wanted to join it. Well my GPU isn't really gaming right now. I do still need to figure out how to get my other GPU folding too. And I leave for College in August, so I won't be folding much after that. Maybe during the day on weekdays or something while I am in class. So I need to play catch-up and get up there somewhat. What exactly is "render box 5000?" I guess I don't understand... Thanks, EBrown

Speaking of which, I have already finished three of these jobs now, the 8020 that is. Pumping one out every 6 to 7 hours. Should put my PPD pretty high at least for a little while. I just slid above you in PPD Rick. And I just beat starship_troopers in points earlier today. It's kind of funny, our third place producer, doesn't even know what this forum is. I convinced him to join our team because he wanted to fold with me. He didn't really care what team it was for, just wanted to help me out a little, and do cancer research at the same time. Thanks, EBrown

Weird. I guess that is what I get for not visiting them for like half a year or something. Lol Also, my GPU is pumping out job 8020 now, which is worth 5757 points. It got the first one done in roughly six hours, should be done with the second soon. Thanks, EBrown

Did they? I guess I don't remember what it looked like before. Lol Thanks, EBrown

Also, another note: I convinced a friend of mine to start folding for the TMN team. So we've got a new player as well guys. Also, completed that WU. Put my 24 hour average up to 741...lol If I start pumping two of those a day, we will rise quickly. Thanks, EBrown

Hey guys. I just started Folding again. I bought a new EVGA GeForce 560 Ti Superclocked edition, so I figured what better way to test it out than folding? The first WU it grabbed was a 5K Point one, deadline of 17.9 days. By my calculations my GPU will take about 10 hours to fold it. http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/fahproject.overusingIPswillbebanned?p=7626 So far, looking pretty good. Does anyone know how I can make my GeForce 9800GT fold as well? I have two GPU's, I may as well do something with them both. Thanks, EBrown

Happy fathers day to all the fathers out there. Thanks, EBrown

I'll see if they do what I need. Thanks, EBrown

Well i386/i486/i586/i686 are all for the 32-Bit architecture. The x86_64 will not work on a 32-Bit version of CentOS, therefore they have to provide the 32-Bit versions as well. Which, your installation was configured to grab the first version it found, which was the i686. (Probably because of the Alphabet.) Thanks, EBrown

If it's x86_64 then you don't need the i686 packages. i686 is just an x86 based architecture. If you are using the x86_64, then you should use those packages instead. (If available.) Thanks, EBrown

Chrome is my favourite, mostly because it is highly stable, and doesn't have the clutter of many others. IE is my least favourite, for the exact reasons listed above, just the negative version. (Unstable, Slow, much BS Clutter.) Thanks, EBrown

Not a problem. In all honesty it's the same reason IPv6 is replacing IPv4. We ran out of IP addresses. With the 128-bit structure of IPv6, we literally have enough addresses for each person on the world to have trillions of them for themselves. (340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 total addresses, Estimating 6,840,507,000 people in the world, and we can determine that there is approximately 4.97451968 × 1028 addresses PER PERSON.) All of this leaves us to wonder, what will we do with that many addresses? The address space is divided into two sections, similar to IPv4. There is a network portion, the first 64 bits, and a host portion, the last 64 bits. (We have already seen that this is 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 for each section.) Now, using this information we are dividing the 64-bit network portion up even further, with a 32-bit section at the front being allocated to local Internet Registries. They allocate a /32 (32-bit network header) block to an ISP. Then RFC 6177 recommends the distribution of that into a /56 for each end-user site. (I.e. 256 networks into each site, replaced RFC 3177 recommending /48 for each site, thus allowing for more end users for each /32 block.) This leaves each /32 block with 16,777,216 /56 sites. (I.e. Each /32 block can have 16,777,216 end users.) The only problem now is transitioning to IPv6, which is a much larger task than most people thought. (Considering the hundreds of thousands if not millions of routers and switches in the world, that all have to transition, this is going to be interesting.) There are actually multiple methods to make the transition implementation easier. Including some IPv6 tunneling standards, to wrap an IPv6 network through an IPv4 network. (Although we are still in the process of getting it distributed throughout the world.) For the most part, China and the American D.o.D. are the only places fully converged. (That I know of at least.) Thanks, EBrown

They all can technically handle the same amount of RAM, however Microsoft imposes limitations to force you to upgrade. The only difference is 32-bit vs. 64-bit, the reason 32-bit can only support four gigabytes of RAM, is because of the limitation of addressing. 32-Bit OS's can only address 2^32 bytes of RAM. (4,294,967,296, divide this by 1024 three times to get to the gigabyte level, and we end up with 4.) Now, 64-bit operating systems have the same style of limitations. They can only support 2^64 bytes of RAM. (18,446,744,073,709,551,616, divide this by 1024 three times and we get 17,179,869,184 gigabytes, divide it three more times and we finally come up with 16 exabytes.) However, due to the massive memory capabilities of 64-bit operating systems, Microsoft (and other OS distributors) limit the amount of memory because there is literally no computer that can process that much memory, and in order to keep commercially operating they have to do something in order for you to be required to upgrade at some point. I am sure that using more than the supported amount doesn't actually cause the glitches, it's probably the programming that causes it. Really, it would just make it so that you cannot address the extra amount. (2G in his case.) At least, that's what I would think would happen. Then again I don't spend my life studying RAM in particular. Thanks, EBrown

Mine was still kicking ass. (Been playing a lot of CoD lately though, so it's been off.) Thanks, EBrown

Is your Airport Extreme 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, or 802.11n? Also, which one is the iPad? Thanks, EBrown

It would be nice to have the KB/Mouse come with it. I am stuck at a cross between the Phenom II x6 and the i5. They are both about the same price, and the Phenom II is 6 cores... As far as building one, I have come up with a form of an idea. Case ($15): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811233067 Motherboard ($60): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138338 Processor ($185): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115076 RAM ($35): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226249 PSU ($70): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182191 HDD ($80): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152305 BD-ROM ($60): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136232 Video Card ($125): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814134130 ---------- Total: $630 This definitely meets my criteria, except it might be a little overkill. (I am debating if I should drop the Video Card or not. Essentially this PC will be used for Web/iTunes/Flash Gaming/Movies Possibly. The real gaming will use mine.) I am debating what size of monitor to get with it though. I might go with a 1080p one, but I would have to drop the Graphics Card for that. To stay within my budget at least. And I don't know how well the Intel HD Graphics 2000 on that i5 would handle an HD monitor. Edit: With some new research it seems I can get a Phenom II x4 system, with the rest of it being equivalent to the above, for much less. Looking at $405 instead of $630. ($405 vs. $505 when I drop the graphics card from the above build, which I did for the x4 thoughts.) This would leave me room to get a decent HD monitor for them as well. (Although the new video chip-set is a Nvidia GeForce 7025, with only VGA/D-SUB out.) Edit 2: The price on Hard Drives is RIDICULOUS. Anyone want to sell me a used one? (Must be Seagate or Western Digital, I WILL NOT accept any other labels.) Thanks, EBrown

Hey guys, I am looking into building/buying a new PC for my brother(s) and sister(s). Does anyone know of any good deals right now? I figure I'll probably do it at the end of the week or next week. I would like to either get a Core i3/Core i5 or a Phenom II x4/x6 for them. The budget is within a rough estimate of $450-$600. (The price is only going to affect WHEN I do it, really.) Edit: Looking at this gateway right now. Edit 2: Also looking at this gateway as well. Thanks, EBrown

Yeah. You need to lower the clock. If I go too high it starts failing. I'm at 4500points now. I seem to be getting about two WU's done each update (3 hours), and so far they've all been 5765-5767 projects. 353 Points each. Thanks, EBrown

Ah. That makes much better sense. And yeah. I got 3100 points so far. Guess TMN got a new Folder. Thanks, EBrown
