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...

Most of the photo editing that I do is for the web, so color reproduction isnt really critical. My normal standard for displays is, if a movie looks good (color wise), its suitable for the photo editing that i do.

I was just looking at the 80 plus certified Silverstone ST1200 with 144A on the +12V rail (split into 6 rails, but electrically it doesn't seem like that would be a problem), Should give me plenty of headroom for expansion later, both hard drives, graphics cards, and other drives, should i need...

Well, since a power supply is the one thing that you really cant just add more of to increase capacity, i think i will spend a little extra to get a decent 1000 watt psu. While it has been a couple of years since I have built a new system, (been stuck in apple land...) i do remember that the PSU...

Just out of curiosity, would any benefit be gained by going with an AMD/ATI setup? or is the price/performance numbers in the favor of an Intel/nVidia setup? (I have been reading the reviews on hardocp, and thats the idea I am getting)

will that Power supply handle a pair of those GTX 285s?

I have a station I built that i use to test machines on. I will be using that for a while, until I build a new one that is more permanent, as for storage, minimum of 1TB. Would like separate O.S. drive, so getting smaller O.S. drive and larger storage drive is ideal.

Ok, so I am having a hard time picking out components for a new build. I haven't really been paying attention to the differences between AMD and Intel based processors, nor have I been paying attention to the video card war, so I need some help from all of you. So, to help you all out, and get...

There are windows alternatives to final cut, but Final Cut is considered the industry standard for video editing, and if the OP wants to run industry standard, then a Mac Pro would be his best option. To the OP: For your undergrad courses, I doubt you will really need the power of a Mac Pro...

Considering you can't legally run Final Cut Studio on a Core i7 at the moment, and the 4 physical with 8 logical cores are not quite as fast as 8 physical cores, the Mac Pro as is is the better choice. Mostly because of Final Cut. The performance difference isnt significant when talking about...

The only real reason to go with an AMD setup is for the Overclocking utility and the cheap unlocked processors, in my opinion, plus the price point. That being said, I will probably be building a system on the 790FX chipset in december/january, mostly because I want to play with the overclocking...

I would run ATI cards all day long if I had the option, never have had a problem with any desktop ATI card I have ever owned. (Started with a Radeon 9600 Pro -> x1800xt -> x2900xt, and will be getting an HD 4870x2 after christmas) The Mobility ones I have owned, one of which was a Sony Viao with...

hmm.. I suppose thinking that people who work in electronics stores might actually know what they are talking about. Stupid assumption. That kind of makes me sad, It would be awesome to have a dual core netbook. I would probably sell my laptop.

hmm.. thats odd, because the aspire one i looked at showed two physical cores in DXDiag (I wasn't allowed to use CPU-z on the system.. stupid staples), at least it seemed to, but I am not sure if dxdiag shows HT and Dual Core in separate ways, or just says 2 cores either way

it is a DC though, so its multitasking would be pretty dang smooth.

Acer Aspire One gets another vote here. Only thing I dont like about it is the trackpad.

2nd Gen Drobo is between 499 and 999, if i where you, I would say "screw that", and build a WHS server. 99.99 for WHS 29.99 for Foxconn 945P7AA-8KS2 39.99 for Celeron 430 Conroe 11.99 for Crucial 1gb DDR2 667 24.99 for Case+PSU POWMax CP2039-BK 149 for 1.5tb Seagates up to 6tb @ 496 355.95 to...

"Arrange a detail of six men, take [them] out behind the chemical sheds and shoot [them]."

If i where you, I would use DD-WRT on both routers and a 4 port switch. Even a 10/100 would be fine, especially since there is only one system on the network with a wired connection. Connect the routers to the switch, connect you to the switch, plug switch into modem, voila, load balancing with...

What you should really be looking into is the field of Security Auditing. Thats is what most 'Pen Testers' actually are. If you want more information, look into the Cisco CCSP, and CIEE (Security) certifications, the (ISC)2 SSCP, CAP, CSSLP, and CISSP certifications, E-Council's ECCI, ENSA...

bumpitty bump bump.. still havent seen anything i like. ill give it until tonight, then im going to wait till after christmas break

another bump for the day. If i dont see anything i really like in the next day or so, ill wait until after christmas break, and the start of the second semester when i get money back from school, and maybe up the limit to 1000.

just waking up bump.. thanks for all the help, guys.

I might be interested in that, depends on the price, and pictures. Pictures can be sent to [email protected]

Ill consider that offer. Thanks for the bump. PMs replied to.

up, still looking
