I'll hopefully be ordering a Q6600 on Monday, so by the end of next week, I'll have a 24/7 cruncher/file server up and running.
By the way, has anyone seen DDT around?

I need to go buy another wireless card so I can run a third quad system. It'll be a 2.9-3.0ghz phenom, but its a quad so its good:up:.
Hmm how much are wireless cards these days? It'd certainly make life easier if you don't have to worry about running an ass-load of Cat5 from each rig to a switch/router/hub/whatever. Of course, then you'd have to worry about how many simultaneous connections your access point can take.
Eller
I don't even bother with the cards anymore. The little usb sticks are just so convenient and easy to swap around.
I have a Sunbeamtech Core-Contact Freezer coming in, just ordered it from CrazyPC.. Never used one before, but it looks extremely promising.
and I ordered an MSI P45 Neo3-FR and PC P&C 610 Silencer ( thanks Sierra Bound for the heads up on the deals on these two ).
I already have an MSI P35 Neo2-FR and a Xigmatek HDT-S1283
waiting. So I'm just about ready for some inbound chips.
Got to pump up the power!
Is that all? I can work something out. :cool: :p:Quote:

Not nearly as nice as it would/will be to see that you've overtaken sleazeynews. Now THAT will be cause to crack a bottle of the good stuff!

C'mon guys, only 1 quad missing :D
I guess I could fire up the X2... but its radiator is just too weak at these temps I'm afraid, bah. Maybe some stock clock crunching at 1,1V eh :D
reinstalled boinc this night, so that is one quad.. oh and swapping the E8400 for a Q6600 tonight so that will be two. just dont tell anyone that I've been evil and not crunching for a while *hides in shame*.Quote:

I'll try tweaking a little bit more out of my Q9450 today. I might be able to get it to do a little above 3.8 for slightly more points. I can use a 9850 in the third system once I get the wireless card, onboard wifi is not something I like.
Right now I only have my one quad going. Trying to sort out why this new mobo i recieved wont boot for me. Had to take my other p5b down to help with parts to trouble shoot. By the end of this weekend I should have 4 rigs back up. I feel so guilty that i have rigs down:shakes:
Don't feel guilty because some of your machines are down...
just get it fixed asap :up:
Don't feel guilty but I did see WrigleyVillain headed towards your house with a whip..:cord:....:rofl:Quote:

I have the QX6700 quad back to consistant daily output...:yepp:

Tortoise and hare sort of thinking.
A machine that goes down once a week for even 2-3 hours makes less than a slower one that never goes down.
And congrats on the card!:up:
Well, the 9850 will only be in till Tuesday or Wednesday depending on how fast the new 1356 gets here. Just checked newegg and they're shipping me a brand new one. The one I had died on me within 30 minutes because of two bios flashes. 1-3-3-3-11-1T timings are disgusting, and even at 470mhz they get the same bandwidth as 800mhz at like 4-4-4-12, but there's no room to overclock then. I have the issue sorted out now though so it should all be good when it comes in. I flashed to an earlier bios because of the timings, but the cpu didn't even have beta support even though its really just a 9600 with an extra nb multi, but I used the 9500 I had to flash back to the bios it worked on, and then it wouldn't work at all. $400 almost down the tubes in. 30 min.
I just got my q6600 up and crunching ...

Monitors are a waste of power. Run 'em headless and use VNC or something like it to administer them over the network. :up:Quote:

Here are the steps I'm going through right now as I don't think this install of Ubuntu has VNC running:
1. Set the soon-to-be-headless machine's IP to static.
....Click on the 2 computers icon at the top of the screen and then "manual configuration".
....Starting with 8.04, I believe, you have to Unlock the settings screen with the button on the bottom of the window that pops up, enter your admin password.
....Click Wired Connection, then Properties. On Configuration, select "Static IP address", then type an IP in the box, then your subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and type in your gateway's address. Then tell it OK. You now have a fixed IP address you can use to talk to the machine. I, for instance, have the DHCP in my router set up to issue addresses from 192.168.2.2 through 192.168.2.100; I call this machine "q1" so I numbered it 192.168.2.101 so it won't ever have an IP conflict with something that used DHCP to get an address.
2. Config VNC
...Under System, Preferences, click on Remote Desktop
....Click "Allow other users to view your desktop", it looks like it's automatically set to select "allow other users to control your desktop"
....I'm unchecking "When a user tries to view or control your desktop" "Ask you for confirmation" but I'm not checking the box to require a password. I don't think anything from the advanced page is necessary.
3. On your client (we've just set up the server) which will have the monitor when we're through:
....Click on Applications, Internet, Remote Desktop Viewer
....Click Connect, then type the IP address you configured in step 1. You'll note that you have other options for browsing for VNC servers on the network and how you can actually address the machine by name, removing the need to assign an IP address. This is just the way I've always done it. You should now see your other desktop appear. You're free to experiment with screen scaling, etc and you can drive and monitor the other computer as you need.
You can use VNC to reboot; but VNC doesn't start yet if you have to type your username to logon; I have all of my crunchers set to bypass the logon screen so they'll start again after a power outage. Here's how to do that:
....Click on System, Administration, Logon Window. Enter the password
....On the Security tab, click "Enable Automatic Login" and select your username. Close and you don't need to deal with that stuff anymore !
I'm sure there are more elegant solutions, but this is the way I've done it !
I've noticed that this probably isn't the best remote viewer, in the past I'd used UltraVNC (google it) as this doesn't seem to be changing my remote cursor to make it easier to drag window edges, etc. It also doesn't seem to support remote viewing scaled, so you can see the whole screen of the other computer in a window. I don't see ultravnc in the ubuntu repositories, but if you're planning on using a lot of VNC you may want to research other clients.
If you're looking to VNC with Windows, check out ultravnc for your server/client software. You can use it with your mixed Windows/linux network. I don't know what RDP is that's available in some of these things, maybe that's Windows Remote Desktop, I've never really moved on once I got into VNC.
You can always turn the monitor off too. I'm setting up 4 machines in my basement and I'm going to use an old CRT. They'll also be hooked into my network so I can run boincview. That is pretty easy to set up, the only trick is not use more than one router. You can do it, but the routers screw up the addressing - something to do with DHCP I think. I had one router downstream from the main router once and had no problem accessing the internet but couldn't see other machines on the network. If you use one router and then daisy chain switches, that seems to work fine.Quote:

you have to turn dhcp off on all the routers but one, to make it work properly.
This was a while ago and my memory isn't that great for these kinds of things, but it occurred to me to try that and I think I did. I figured I would try to make the 2nd router look like a switch and turned off every function that smelled router-ish. Probably got a little too aggressive.Quote:

:up:
Kill the 2nd router and get a cheap switch, KISS..
Alos go into windows and assign IP's, don't use that auto feature.
Will fix a lot of headaches later..;)
Yeah, static IPs will make life a LOT easier in the future, especially if you're running rigs headless. Nothing more frustrating then having a power outage or something and then having to figure out which rig is using which IP 'cause they all got reset for whatever reason :p:
Eller
Naw, assigning IPs manually will make it a PITA if you are working with lots of different computers, have some friends over etc.
Leave DHCP enabled and use a feature called "static DHCP". This means that you give the router the MAC adresses of all the PCs that are the basic part of the network, and assign them the fixed IP adresses you like. So they will keep their IPs, but you won't loose the convenience of an active DHCP network.
I just set my DHCP to use a different address range to the one I use for my static machines. No en/disbling things or typing in lengthy MAC addresses, just a couple of clicks in the router config.
+1. I have my router set to assign addresses from .2 through .100, and then I use the higher numbers for static IPs.

I think you need a sure 75K daily to stay in the top 100
Maybe if I can find a pair of the 2.0ghz chips for sammy I can get there.
That should do 8K a day.
Just ordered a lighted magnifying lamp so i can do the mods on the Harpers.
BSEL modding the 65nm Clovers was hard enough.
Drawing traces on 45nm chips with my eyes is impossible.
Even a flea would have to walk sideways and suck in his gut to walk between those pads on the cpu..:rofl:
Congrats Dave :D
Do you mean being in the top100 daily in the whole of WCG? Cause within XS us two are currently #14 and 15 according to BOINCstats dailies :)
I am still amazed at what two 24/7 rigs can do, and hoping to up my 50k/d to at least 80K soon (IF I don't strangle that customs officer tomorrow andgo off to jail, that is - a big if :D )

Sweet kid but it kills your heart to see her struggle at times.
You can see the concentration that is going on in her mind to communicate normally.
Sorry to hear that, but if it's something like Asperger's or high functioning autism, the long term outlook is good. The fact that she even wants to communicate is a great sign. Children can be a great form of exercise. Take it easy.Quote:
