Yes it is, and to prove that, see what happens when crunchers down't have enough "friends" around to keep them company?

See, all the :banana::banana::banana::banana: addicts at EasyNews have many machines to download the :banana::banana::banana::banana: onto..
It's simple math..:D
:banana::banana::banana::banana: addicts :ROTF:
I am lucky enough to have 8 cores sitting at home keeping each other warm now (hardly need it coming into Summer though)...but I did allow this work machine to have a second core to keep it company also. But you are right, I think I need another whole machine just to keep it feeling like it is special :ROTF:
It is soo nice to see how we push eachother. Sometimes, as i read through that thread i feel like selling my body to get a new cruncher running :D
my 4 core keeps my single core lappy company as they site 3 feet apart and my gf's lappy with its HT talks to its self when its lonely though there is quite a party here with 6 dedicated cores :-P.
When I close the door to the office, the temp rises about 5-7c ;-)
I just got good news: that our beloved TP S.A. (monopolistic ISP & phone operator) will most probably activate my DSL line in the parent's house, where ill be spending Christmas... so no winter break from crunching, maybe 1-2 days to move. I have ordered an internet connection from TP S.A. some... 5 months ago?!?! they are lightning fast, so are their connections.
I'm looking to earn some holiday cash so I can replace this setup, I've found the E6600 no faster than my old OCed 3600+, and to boot I can't get it to OC a bit and it warm boots two times out of three. It may have something to do with the bad power in the area, but given my surge suppression hardware I think not...
I'm gonna go Spider platform. I'm just gonna stick with what I know, and put the E6600 in the kids' MSI. Oddly enough, theirs is ROCK SOLID and OCs like a dream...
I dunno, but this BadAxe is wayyyyy too temperamental for me. My RAM is good, I have a new video card, my power supply is fine, I just can't figure it out...
Well, I got another Q6600 up, and will be getting an opty165 up by the end of the week (crossing my fingers). So that's 12 C2D cores at 3.6ghz or higher, and 2 K8 cores.
