There is a marked delay in seeing credits on the extreme overclockers site. You finished after 9pm, so the next stats in which you would be included would be at 12pm - assuming you are some 0 or multiple of 3 hours different from PST. At the moment, the Extreme site is working one hour after the Fol...

I would suggest you download one of the console only versions of ubuntu .. there is no graphical SMP for linux, so you would be wasting cycles Floffe wrote: I'm not sure how tight it would be with deadlines, I know SMP has very short ones that dual cores can have trouble meeting if not folding 24/7....

One of the most frequent uses for my computer is photo editing and storage. So I had to buy a flash reader. I used to have an external USB reader, from Apacer, but it died the death. And anyway, I hated the way it would hide under the papers on my desk when I needed it. So when I built my new system...

And a Q6600, especially if you set up two linux appliances to split the cores, should have no trouble finishing a 1760 point WU inside the deadlines, if it is running 12 hours/day.

Iganu's sudden spurt looks like the result of a catch up by the stats team. Many many folders had been beefing on the support site about their completed WUs not getting credit. All the three WUs credited to me in the three hour period to midnight CST last night were catch-ups which I had copmleted b...

I think it is fiendishly hard to "tune" the volume and equalisation on your PC to evaluate the SPCR samples fairly. So, perhaps you can say whether the unit you received is also louder than the competing samples from the SPCR review at the same settings (as I understand it) as when you play the SPCR...

there are also ubuntu virtual appliances for VMWare, so you could use processor affinity to make each of the four look like a dual core, and thus perhaps avoid the issues people are seeing with their quads .... But I think I am with you, I will wait until the price of the 9450 comes down a tad ... [...

but they are available ex stock from my PC supplier Azerty of Raalte in the Netherlands. Sadly, Azerty does not take credit cards, so you would have to figure out a way to transfer Euros. www.azerty.nl +31 572-328120 I really recommend this store, if you don't find a source in the UK. But if you are...

well, as near as dammit .... And I agree, by the way, about the VMWare tools. A genuine PITA. A pity, because I still found VMWare WS good enough to pay 200 bucks of my own money for a copy. Seriously, if you install Mandriva in WS, you will have to install the tools from the command line, or add th...

It would be useful if someone would post on SPCR a beginners guide to using Linux from an SPCR perspective. E.g. what do I use to replace Speedfan, RMClock, SMART monitoring, ATI Tool etc. That would be really useful. Most of the monitoring you want is handled by lm-sensors, which collects the info...

I am curious because I read another review somewhere which suggested they did not stick on well. And I cannot find the installation instructions on-line. I am interested because my wife's ASRock mobo is doing a lousy job of adjusting the fan speed to CPU temp, and wondering about using the Kaze mast...

Over here in Europe, despite the fact that 1$ <> €0.63, we still have to pay €82 or more for the same 2*2 bundles. Which is a PITA, just like the fact the Q9x50 processors, except for the one that costs €850 (more than one thousand of your greenbacks), are still only available in the shopkeepe...

I bought a Tagan when the Antec PSU in my Sonata case gave up the ghost. It is very reliable, but it has never been quiet (any this rig runs without any O/C or other power-draining excuses). So if silence matters, I would choose one of the other solutions. In contrast to the Tagan, the Corsair HX520...

Apologies to any others we should have acknowledged, and left out.

slimming, or delaying ageing ...

That should make it seem important ...

I was talking about another folder about to hit the 300K milestone.

I accept we can't all use the SMP client. But we need everyone to consider it.

Where do criminals get their guns from, anyway?

Umm,. isn't that the right to own and arm bears?

But have you looked at his stats? He is sometimes doing 4 or 5 WUs a day, for a total of 588 to 1200 points. He must have the mother of all machines to get through so many low scoew WUs. If we could persuade him to run SMP, he would be worth at least 500 ppd more. And if we could all find a way of d...

I would suggest you google for "Thermal Management" on Intel.com. They have a number of articles explaining how they measure and control CPU temp. As I know nada about electronics, it is all Greek to me. If it's all Greek to you too, here is another way of finding out. Get a copy of knoppix, mandriv...

Tim I was curious what a $400 case looked like, so I went to the OrigenAE site, and found this photo of the back . It looks to me as though you put the screws through the four screw holes closest to the PSU cutout. They do supply screws, for that amount of money, I take it? Regarding the finish of t...

This sounds like a problem I had when I built my rig on the P35-DS4. At the first read of the motherboard manual, it did not sound as though I needed to connect the additional four pin 12v lead (ATX 12v 2X), but without this connection, there is not enough power to make the CPU start. I was fairly c...

Why Italy?

How long have you got? Because the weather, the food, the wine, the culture, the people...

Or else I could go back to rainy Britain, and pretend the continent does not exist. Let me think about it, I've thought about it, no way!

Where are you Dutchmm? Don't lump Canada in with lousy US rates, we're still paying for the crimes of Ken Lay and his followers (like GWB). I'm in the Netherlands (the Dutch in the moniker is location, not nationality), at least until the end of October. Then I am retiring and moving to Italy. Wher...

OK $42/month for all 3 pc's. That's like half the power bill for my whole apartment - cooking, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble-dryer, TV, lighting, and the 2 PCs we run. No wonder you North Americans don't want to convert your gas guzzlers to electricity. And yes, I get the instead as opposed t...

Over here there is a BIG difference between the X2 5000 you were talking about for your second system and the E8400/E8500. On the assumption that you built the second folder just to fold, and not to run WinBlam! or the like, with (here comes the rant) linux, I think you get more bang for your buck o...

I hope you realize that you can not install anything properly when you OC. You need to drop to stock speeds, install, and then return to OCing. That may be true of Windows, but does not hold necessarily for Linux. At least, not with mild overclocks of 20 to 25%. I am hosting various versions of Red...

If you couldn't get kubuntu to boot, I suggest you try Mandriva 64-bit. It has always booted out of the box on all the compaq and HP boxes I have had at work, and also on all the home-built ones I have had. I too had some issues with the 64-bit ubuntu. I will understand if you are a bit put off by t...

I am getting about 1.25 * 1760 from the E6750 (I won't tempt fate with any remarks on the reliability of my network) and about 4/7 of 1760 from my wife's stock 2160. Both running Linux SMP beta 6. Both under my name (well, it was my idea. She just wants to read email and surf). So no, I am not getti...
