you can use Brook+, a variant of ANSI-C with ATI's stream processors, so they are both just as programmable. (Brook+ is a variant of BrookGPU by stanford university that allows integer and double precision processing)

I do, but i already have a Shoei RF-1000 (Strife TC-2). Dont really need another one. Bump

I wouldn't go up to 1.5v right away.. try 1.42v, and keep going up by at most .02v. I would actually recommend going up by .01. See what the lowest voltage you can use and still boot

*whistles* bump Sweet helmet.. why are you getting rid of it? (edit: never mind.. didnt read the first post...)

On the cooling end, I would recommend a 240x120 rad as well, 3/8" ID tubing (make sure you get a rad with those fittings as well), and a D-Tek cpu block. I have used D-Tek in a couple high-end customer builds, they are all nicely built and work very well transferring heat from the CPU. Also make...

hmm.. for 12 grand.. 8*2TB WD SATA3.0 hdds ($2400) 2*nVidia GTX 295s ($1200) 16*4GB DDR2 Registered ECC ($1350) 4*AMD 8484 2.6GHz ($7900) Tyan VX50 barebone ($3600-$4000) total=$16450-$16850 Cut down on the ram, and hard drives, and you could easily get it down to around $13000...

um, you understand that you can't just install OS X on skulltrail because the board is similar to a mac pro? (Ok, so its not that similar, the Mac Pro is a custom high-end workstation Dual Processor Xeon board, and the Skulltrail board is not, its reference Intel server board design with an...

While that is all true, would not the power requirements for having more servers end up equaling out the TCO? That would pretty much eliminate the economics issue from the considerations. I mean, 2 of the more powerful machines would cost nearly 30-40 thousand each (if they use SAS 15k drives)...

discussing it for the sake of discussing it. And I was really referring to the number of logical servers, not physical ones ;) Anyway, Cloud is just another way to refer to Mainframe style computing. Everything stored in one location, (or multiple locations, but the clients are all remote, with...

Yeah, knew about that, but thats the experience I have had with other Supermicro boards anyway, so it doesn't bother me much. Being picky with memory isnt too big a deal when you can get a normally $260 board for $78 shipped.

OMG. . . Supermicro X58 for 69.99 (open box) Doesn't even require ECC ram.. but it does support it.

Now this is a question that I have been wondering about for the last couple of months, and have been trying to figure out which hardware set would be better for a Cloud-type hosting service. The question is what hardware should you run? More specifically, what type of hardware setup should you...

Ahh, that actually makes more sense, the 144A wasn't really sounding right to me. Thanks for the advice, Danny_Bui. Im going to play with the configuration a bit on newegg. I am thinking about doing a couple of low-end 20s first, and then when I get my tax return (still haven't filed. . . I...

Interested in the raptor and PSU. shoot me a PM.

Have you tried installing Visual Studio into Sandboxie? Im not exactly sure if that will do what your looking for, but I think it will. You can create multiple sandboxes and install Visual Studio into each one, configured how you want them. Its worth looking into. Other than that, you could also...
