Ahhh , but did you order a GA-K8N51GMF-9 MoBo to go along with it ?

I'm also ordering the OSA165CDBOX like you with a Gig of ram and a Power supply
Can you say New Blade ! :)
Wo0t !

I had bought the GA-K8N51GMF-9 ( because it overclocks from the BIOS ) and an "AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ ( @ 2.3 GHz ) Model ADA3800BVBOX" last September , so I'm looking forward to compairing the two !

See how much better 1 meg of L2 Folds !

EDIT: 6 March 2006
They are on the Way !!

This is the board I got http://www.pcalchemy.com/product_info.p ... mainboards

Here is an extensive thread on this board.

I have to get another stick of ram, this board wants them installed in pairs like the old days.

I just got mine set up for folding with both cores Saturday afternoon. I think I got it right :? . The entire build/ software installation process was easy compared to setting up 2 clients on one box :roll: . Perhaps Stanford will dedicate some effort towards making it easier to set up dual core machines, they are becoming the "norm".

So, let me get this straight:

This opteron 165 is, specification wise, exactly the same as a 4400 toledo, just slower at stock, but is suppposedly "easily overclockable" (to say, the 4400's speed), and cheaper?

wow... AMD's been playin me all this time ;)

Greetings,

Well, I've just built an Athlon 64 4200+ X2, and I'm running two instances of Folding@Home as services! :twisted: Look for me to turn ORANGE??

Question: I'm running WinXP 64 Pro 64, and Electron Microscope III won't run. :( Any hints, or suggestions to get something to monitor F@H on this sweet machine?

Hello Bulls & welcome to SPCR!

Well, my machines don't just sit there: I use them for whatever I need them for, but I do have them running 24/7 anyway, so having them Fold is a good thing...
