Very few dead Americans please, bluefront, can you explain to me how the life of someone who happened to be born in america, is worth more than someone born in iraq, or anywhere else? Americans are more valuable to Americans, just like Britons are more valuable to Britons. Your livelihood depends o...

I've read this, but it's never said exactly what he's violated in the Constitution. Please be specific and brief, thanks.

Speaking of BJ Clinton...

Go ahead, search for "oral-anal" and "phone sex".
These acts took place in the oval office. I wonder if he was on the phone with Putin?

Ditto on the PSU comment, save $26 and get the 450W Corsair. It's plenty big for your needs.

I wouldn't worry about it, unless it keeps happening. Make note of the project number when it does happen. There's a couple of bad WU that the FAH server will assign you once or twice after a new SMP install. It's almost like it needs to try them on new machines. I can't remember the project # but t...

You need to use the -forceasm switch, or at least I do. Otherwise it runs at half speed sometimes.
I use the following command line switches:
-advmethods -forceasm

Other than that, some WUs are better than others.

Scroll down, the windows section is near the bottom.

I believe he's running 1 GPU and 1 CPU, which I think puts out more PPD than 2 CPU. He should be running SMP, along with everyone else using multi core CPUs. Besides getting double the points, it frees up your GPU. Try again Wibla, pretty please

Wibla,
If running 24/7, that E6600 could get ~ 1500 ppd with the Windows SMP client, even more with Linux.

Bolek - - nice!

The only way I found to make the taskbar button go away is to run it as a scheduled task.

You need to be assured that there is a solution to your problem, you just need to be more methodical with your diagnosis. As I see it, potential problems are, in order: 1. User error 2. Motherboard (on 2nd unit, so double failure unlikely) 3. Power Supply (ruled out?) 4. RAM 5. Vid Card 6. Other wei...

Yes, or you can borrow a jumper from something else and put it back later.
Your motherboard manual should give detailed instructions for resetting the CMOS. Usually this involves removing the battery, jumpering the two terminals for a few seconds, replacing the battery, and reboot.

While I know very little about Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics In Washington, you're definitely wrong about the above. Thank you, I stand corrected. :oops: The headline on their website is misleading, appearing to defend Jefferson when in fact they seem on the side of justice in this case. H...

After he died he criticized the current war. Your location may be undisclosed, but are you sure you are sober? ;) CREW is just another left-wing front group with a misleading title. If they care about "responsibility and ethics in Washington", why would they vehemently defend William Jefferson (D-L...

Aris, congrats on making page 1 of the EOC stats!

Back on point, off topic in off topic...
The links Jaganath povided attempt to refute the effects of solar activity. Your claim is outrageous, even for me who believes humans are responsible for less than 1% warming.

And speaking of lies GWB said he was going to fire the person who leaked the name Valerie Plame. Guess what? That person didn't even get shot in the face by a draft dodger. GWB can't fire him, because the leaker was Richard Armitage http://msnbcmedia1.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Photos/041013/041013...

I would try to test and swap components, like PSU, RAM, even CPU, just to make sure, before RMAing the motherboard. Hopefully you have access to swappable parts and a PSU tester. It would suck to get a new mobo and fry it again with a bad PSU (for example). Although it does sound like a bad mobo. Go...

Hi, Your proposed system is similar to mine. You won't need the extra case fan. If I did it over again, I'd get the Thermalright Ultra (and the fan of my choice) instead of the NH-U12F, although I do like the Noctua. Since the 8800GTS fan was quieter than expected, I left it alone. I don't think an ...

Yes the deadline is 40 days, no worries.

It must be that 755 pointer they call "Tethered Vesicles" and I call "Vethered Testicles". It's actually a good one.
I agree though that 4.6 hour checkpoints are absurd.

Hi, With windows clients I've had bad streaks of poor point units (PPUs?) like the 186 pointer with standard client and 1523 pointer with SMP. Those always yield less points per day for me. Then it turns around and I get hot streaks. It happens. If you're concerned, check logs, and/or install a moni...

Hi, I see you have a pretty heavy OC on the machine in your sig. Is it 12 hours Orthos stable? Any problems with heat or stability? Have you run any health checks on the hard drives? If you remember the project number you can check the FAH forums or google and see if anyone else has had that error w...

You should run the SMP client. It handles multiple cores, so you only need 1 copy.

Starting the SMP client as a scheduled task keeps it off the taskbar too :) I periodically check the task manager to make sure it's still folding. Or I just fire up speedfan to verify my system is still blazing hot ("60C... yep, it's working!") I hate those 1500 point WUs (2610), they take longer th...

You're right, there's some weird news story on the site.
Top Story: Max Slowik lures visitors to his website via a ploy on SPCR.

I think it's a combination of the Noctua and Sonata. The Noctua is not the greatest CPU heat sink fan (I'm using one). I don't have a Sonata III, but I have an older one and the airflow isn't great as stock. Improve airflow and/or replace HSF if you want better temps with no noise increase. If your ...

I believe these hx520's all make noise. Some people may have a higher ambient noise, more isolating case, or louder fans to hear the noise of this supply. Here's some more data points: I've built 3 systems in the last few months with HX520 and the PSUs are all very quiet, no whine or buzz at all. I...

2.84GHz (7x406), system in tagline.

It's at stock, and probably closer to 800+ ppd if I leave it 24/7, which is basically is right now. My 6300 OC is getting around 1200 ppd, and the Athlon XP (4200? no OC) at work around 600 ppd.
