Hello there Mr Rinsewand! Taken you a while to filter over from O-cUK then :p:Quote:

congrats :)
just an observation, but is that an original pentium processor, or even a 486?! i can see in your pic next to your VGA cable?
It's got a heatspreader on it so It might be a PII. The p3's didnt have them
wow, congrats Macci.
Regarding R420: 8500 was at least twice as fast as orignal Radeon, and 9700pro was at least twice as fast as 8500. They've had almost 2 years now (hard to believe.. I know). Worst case scenario... the "good stuff" was delayed and the R420 is "interim" product... so probably have to wait till fall/winter.
Regardless of future products potential, Macci did the unbelievable with current hardware.. and organized enough that the setup looks like a typical test bench. Let me know when you will be signing autographed P4's or 9800xt's. :p
Damn nice!! Gratz:toast:
Congrats macci! :toast:
Lol, can't you pick a more belivable number? s939 won't be that much faster then s940/FX-51. haha 3k higher sure...Quote:

Its one of those old ceramic ones..
486DX33 or P75 or something..
congradulations man i know u worked hard on this one, so break out that champaigne
Good Job!
hey, PCI express is 16X and 2 way, so why AGP 8x 1 way whould offer the same?:rolleyes:Quote:

because if you are using system ram or your hard drive while rendering your performance goes out to lunch.
... yeah, definatly a 486 or original pentium.. but what is it doing next to that supercomputer?
the PCI express GFX is separated from the PCI express. And they have different slot

yea Macci could get 32k right now with todays stuff, so thats 35k with socket 939. He just doesnt feel like wasting money on a fx at this point
incredible! :slobber:

What makes you think the FX53 makes a 3K difference?Quote:

Just a wild guess?
I'm afraid it wont differ that much from the current FX51, except for the higher default clockspeed and the use with regular RAM instead of ECC RAM.
Dual channel might make a small difference, but it won't be that much.
that the VidCard and HDD wont be directly related, theyre not controlled in the same "controller".Quote:
