...and back up to $639 :rolleyes: EDIT: $669 Keeps gettin better folks! Massive BS.

Heh, I wish. Newegg is the first in-stock location I have seen since I started looking for one back around the first week in august. Directron is taking preorders for an estimated 8/22 shipment for $359, newegg is gouging people for $699. Everyone else seems to top out at 4600+ X2's, at...

Typical newegg price gouging. No one else has them in stock, so they'll sell you one for twice what other sites are pre-ordering for. I was gonna buy my entire new system from them, but this makes me really want to go somewhere else.

Yea, maybe I'll be able to find a 5000+ X2 by the time this hits the shelf. *crosses fingers*

I dont believe they'll put DRM hardware in CPU's just yet, maybe eventually once they get their software algorithms better... As far as DRM, Longhorn is going to be chock full of it, and it's already snuck into XP. Anyone else notice the 'protected media content' in WMP 10+? So that will...

I took my SLK-800 to optical quality using micro finishing compounds (abrasive, not polishes!) Took my load temps down 10C, don't know what they would be if I stopped at 600 grit, but probably not as good, since 600 grit still has visible scratch marks that could trap air.

Gentoo is great once you get it setup. The way I look at it, I learned enough during the install/setup to run the system with ease :D Its a distribution that provides a lot of security, and the ease of keeping your software up to date is as simple as # emerge --sync && emerge -uD world :p

Gentoo :D

I have a 2500+ overclocked to 2.4GHz and 1.8 volts, and I run full load @ ~42C Air cooling (SLK-800)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that cpu runs at a 200mhz FSB (I think the 800mhz that newegg refers to is the HTT frequency) You have DDR266 ram, that runs @ 133Mhz FSB. With that ram, you cant even run stock speeds (unless you plan on using mem divider, which you didnt mention) Muskin is...

the 3100+ apppears to be a 9x multiplier, while the 3300+ is 10x. I'd say you'd get more out of the 3300s.

I was so close to buying a razor about a year ago. Then I realized that I couldn't stand twitch shooters anymore. So here I sit with an MX510. Definitely not as cool looking as that plasma, but a whole bunch cheaper. Plus it suits my computing environment. If I still played FPSes, I'd be...

heh, was about to point out the academic discount part of the online store, but I was beaten to it :D Thats the only thing I know about, ofc I've only bought an iPod from them.

My roomate has the MX700 cordless, while I have a 510 corded mouse. I dont notice a difference in resolution with the mice. I do however notice a lag when using his mouse, especially with the scroll wheel. The battery part doesnt seem to bother him, and I havent seen it run dead on him in...

I must admit, the rapid ramp up on OCAU is damn impressive. All those folders coming out of the woodwork, + Sceggs about to come back online... I remain hopeful on getting to number one, but we'll need some serious firepower when that 200k per day starts rolling in if we want to stay on top.

Seems to me that the recipe for concrete involves quite a bit of sand, a few larger rocks, and water :D I look forward to great competition in the top ranks; a nice afterthought to a great program for all of humanity. I myself started as a small grain of sand in the great scheme of things...

Rescued 1.5Ghz P4 box with a dead hdd. Now folding diskless for the [H]orde! 417 - 1 = 416 to go!

Yea, this will definitely end up being a semi-permanent solution until I get a big enough garden to make fold-server worth it. I'll probably work on minimizing the minimal livecd with samba support and an automated script to get it all working. Maybe down the road something that loads data...

I would love to be able to use EM3 to do it, but this cd does not appear to have samba installed on it (big surprise there) It does however have the ssh daemon included, so I'll just have to give that a go.

I just made a gentoo livecd work for me. I still need to write a script and modify the iso so it works on reboots, but it will do for the time being as it is. Steps: Download gentoo livecd (60MB) Boot mkdir /mnt/gentoo/fah (the livecd makes a ramdisk for itself) cd /mnt/gentoo/fah wget...

I'm all for bootable cd distros, but the size of this file vs what I need it to do seems a tad bit out of whack. Its a full distro complete with x server and several window managers, even KDE! It may be faster for me to learn how to manipulate ram drives and create my own gentoo cd before...

I saw something on the ocix forums about the spanish thing... Seems the people that showed it at CeBit decided to have it output all errors in spanish, and that made it through to the release. :confused: There was a post on how to fix it, but it only works on hdd installs, so I didnt...

ooh, thats evil. So I edit the config before burning the cd, pop it in and turn it on. Folding is already set to run?

Hehe, sweet. Thanks! BT is cruising along at a decent 60kb/s Too bad its from team 32 :p It'll be feeding 33 with 1.5Ghz in just a short while though :D

My friends system just had the hard drive die, and he says he's just gonna go on his laptop till the hardware over the horizon comes around. So, I relieved him of his box, thinking I could fold on it without a hard drive. I thought I saw a linux bootcd swimming around somewhere that would let...

Geeze people... The Latin part of my brain just writhed and screamed in agony. Veni Vidi Vici. I came, I saw, I conquered. There, I've said my peace. Leave it as venice, it's already a codeword <= 2 syllables.

4. None Maxtor :p Maxtor will never again touch my data. Configuration in sig. Oh, and nice name 01101001... :D

I was going to, but upon further testing this is not a feasable situation. I successfully got my work unit to switch over a few times, but now windows has no idea what linux did to this work unit, and the core crashes. Reboot to linux, and it chuggs along fine... So for now, its back to...

Why must you tempt me with this? You torment my soul, and my bank account!

my new psu gained me performance. The tighter voltage levels allowed me to overclock more :D but no, without a change such as this, a psu should not improve performance by itself. Enjoy the wonderful side-effect!

He's not talking about an iPod (which will actually show up as a firewire/usb drive), and can be loaded with any music files you have. He's talking about songs downloaded from Apple's music store. Thats where the DRM crap comes in. iPod does not require the music store.

nope, 430. It was 1 AMD 2500 and 1 laptop, not 2 laptops. (he edited his post after you did his math :D)

Success! ...well, once I found that I had 'ro' in my fstab for that partition :rolleyes: for some reason, fah needed write access to the drive :p

k, I'll give it a shot while I'm still on this tiny 59 pointer... ::crosses fingers::

I recently began dual-booting winxp and gentoo linux, as I just swore that XP will be the last M$ product I ever install. My question is: If I put my windows client on an FAT32 partition, can I have the linux folding client use the same work directory, thereby having a continuous work queue...

only the 600w powerstream is ATX2.0

I have an AMD system, but as far as my board is concerned throttling only happens when the system is in a standby state. Throttling on my board reduces the clock speed of the cpu and drops the voltage until you wake the system up. IE, 87.5% throttling when the system is in standby means my...

guess it wasnt that important :rolleyes:

Change Log: 1 . Changed the Optimal and Aggressive CPU Interface Table above 200 MHz FSB: - DISABLE CPU Interface has been modified to be more user-friendly for high FSB overclocking - ENABLE CPU Interface now recalls the lost bandwidth when FSB is above 200 MHz and at a multiplier that...

Improved clock frequencies, updated SATA controller firmware. I believe the voltage tables have been calibrated. Whatever they did, its like magic :)
