some safeways have dry ice :)
including my own here in juneau alaska.
$1.99 a pound.
alittle more expensive then good old seattle, but I am just glad I can get dry ice here in alaska now, cause I thought there was no place to get it.
I called everywhere and no one had any they sell.
today I go to safeway with my grandma and was buying a pepsi and outta the corner of my eyes I see "dry i...." and before I even finished reading I was over there grinning from ear to ear.
the last place I would have ever looked and there it is...
the manager guy says it's very common for safeways to have dry ice for people who like to ship food in the mail.
in alaska, that means basically it's for hunters and fisherman.
but who cares-I got a dry ice source again, back in business :D

Awesome, you gonan throw this down on your new stuff?
I won't say anything about your new hardware, but I think it would totally kickass to hit 32K.

well, I have a FX51 here and have benchmarked with it at over 3.06 ghz before, and my ram did 249 at 1:1 cas 2-2-2-6 with dry ice and all, but that was on the SK8N.
this SK8V seems to make my X800 pro a pain in the ass, cause it doesn't seem to like high AGP frequencies, so I may have to fiddle around for awhile to see if I can even pass anything at say 7x245 or something low, to see if I can even use the high AGP rates.
otherwise I can pass at 14x200 with relative ease, but thats not really anything to brag about around here, especially with dry ice.
lets just say-I been thinking about it for a long time now :)

I have had 4 SK8V, tried with different Gfx card.
1: was going 246+ (ram was limiting)
2: was going 250+ with nVidia, with one 9800xt it was 236 and the sekund 9800xt was going 248
3: was going 260 with nVidia and the sekund 9800xt
4: can go 242 for now but the mem goes better?.
Even the old corsair3200 that only done cas 2-3-5-2 on the other can go 2-2-2-5
I use the same old bios v 1001.013 on all.
nr 1 was an erly one. Nr3 was the "newest" but produktion nr very simular on 2, 3 and 4.
Still fighting to get stability 34xx and waiting for new grafx
:toast:

yep I moved back to alaska about 2 months ago to be with my mom who was dying from cancer.
unfortunatly I only had a few weeks with her, before the cancer took her. it took 7 months from diagnosis to death.
no one knows what kinda cancer it was or it's origin.
specialists in anchorage and seattle were stumped.
since then, I just kinda decieded to stay here.
no more seattle for me, not for now.
gotta be here for my family and such.

lol I know this thread is old (I didn't bump it), but you just found that out? Btw Kunaak I work at a Safeway in Anchorage (Abbott loop to be exact) and we sell it all the time like the guy u alked to said. We have a bunch of fisherman and tourist that ship fish and stuff so it helps a lot.
