Hello again my fellow crunchers,

I have available to purchase 51 sets (possibly more in the near future) of 2x1GB ECC DDR2-667 for £12 per set (~18USD), down from a list price of £22 ($32)!

If anybody is interested, the appropriate amount could be sent to the US/Germany and forwarded on with the motherboards.

What are your thought on this?

Is that registered ECC ram ?
I think the board discussed here only accepts reg ECC ram.

It is.

Too bad that's not 800mhz capable ram, or I'd take a few sets for my own Quad socket AMD (the SM H8QME-2)...

the listing says "guaranteed working"

I got a response from him and replied that I'm ready for him to send an invoice to my paypal. One step closer..

What kind of ppd does a setup like this output and how much power does it use?

The power usage depends on the CPUs used. The 8347 is listed as having an average CPU power of 75W.

Regarding PPD:

ive got 3 4P tyans, 8356s, and the all average 9000 ppd on boinc, running the other things on my sig.

one of the 4P is running WCG, and that one has been averging 5000 ppd in WCG Boinc points. so 35kppd in grid points or around there.


it got me messed up for a month, trying to figure out what kind of points ppl were talking about.

How much is shipping to the US going to add to the cost?

Requested a quote from the seller to have ~half sent to US, and half to Europe, but I'll have a look for some prices myself if he does not want to send them to the US.

Order placed!

Yippee! What's the likely time scale on arrival in Tampa, FL? :)

I'd say by Friday or Saturday

thats definitely good news*thumbsup*

Much sooner than I thought, too!

OK. I'm starting to get the 'build it' itch :D

Me too! I had a ridiculous idea to water cool one of these, but I haven't got the funds for CPU blocks atm. I wonder how far you'd be able to clock one of these. I doubt the BIOS has many, if any, options for overclocking. It'd probably require significant modification of the BIOS and possibly additional motherboard cooling to get anything significant.
