GAVE it away.. boy did I come a little late.. that would be perfect for my spare Q6700..
and you all make a great point.. who cares if my GTX260 fails. It's an eVGA and they have a lifetime warranty. thats partly why I got it over the 4870, the warranty. and cuz Nvidia's proven themselves to me, as i've never actually had to try ATI.. Not saying I'm a fanboi. just saying I've never needed to go to ATI. not yet at least. I might as weel keep folding, cuz I have the warranty, IF.. If anything should happen.
what do you guys mean when you say the CAP thing. like get two identical cards and one CAP mod, one not? I'm lost with that.. I know a pretty good amount, but not all the in's and outs. I've built many computers though.. Is this a MOD for gfx cards or something? also I'm running everything I have now on my corsair 520HX... thats enough right? It also has a 5 yr warranty. thats good enough. but if I ever wanna get SLI on my 260 I'd need a bigger PSU huh.
Well just as a side note, visiontek and powercolor have lifetime warranties on their cards. My 4870 is guaranteed forever by visiontek :D
Ya I know.. well visiontek does.. but powercolor is only 3 yr I thought. when I was looking into 260/4870 I found that only visiontek offered it.. but Meh, oh well. I'm happy with what I got.
When I got my X1950XT it was 3 year or if you register lifetime. Guess I just assumed that they kept that going, maybe not :shrug: Went with visiontek when I got my 4870.
But the gtx260 folds better :)
hm.. I wonder why.. is it the CUDA..?
So, how often are you guys on your computers. I'm on mine maybe 4 hours at the end of each day. but the last few weeks my Eyes hurt, and get headaches and have to get off.. why. just eye strain.. anyone have any suggestions to help me here.. lol..............
Sounds stupid maybe, but when I turned into a addict I had to resort to reading glasses sometimes to prevent my eyes getting to irritated from the crappy crt I was using... It did help. my eyes were allot less tired. But that was a crt and not a good one, lcd's are already much easier for your eyes.
Ya thats what I thought. I've used a LCD for a good 7 months or so.. but the last about a month or so I've been having problems. Nothing before this though. thats why I'm not sure. Maybe I need to get my eye's checked. last time was a solid 2 or more years ago. but I had 20/15 back then. Great vision. so IDK.. just gettin sick of the fatigue I get while on the PC. and I need to get rid of it before FarCry 2 comes out. cuz I'll be playin a LOT of that. lol
Don't listen to those people that tell you to go outside:p:
huh?
ROFL.. he means dont listen to people that tell you;
"you spend too much time in front of that computer, you need to go outside more often"
at which point you can usually say: "but I'm shopping for a gift for you"
and then fast tab to this page, which is already open in another window.
and say, "this shopping sure does make one thirsty and hungry"
lol :rofl:
My wife would never fall for that one. :shakes:
If you try that excuse, she will be a waiting at the door every time the mailman comes around... you better make sure she gets something then :up:
Quarter Machine at Walmart.. put in a nice box..
:):):)
that ought to really make her happy.... haha
well... i'll start waving rite now, cuz Bobsamas coming up quick behind me! :wtf: Keep up the good work everyone!
I requested today a speciality for you guys .
SMP client test + FAHMON on .... YES i7 940 Nehalem ! Mwahahaahah !
Stay tuned
Tuned...
With a question though, what nehalem do you have? I don't even know which one's are coming out first but my intrest atm is mainly a question regarding HT and additional clients :)
I'm curious to see how this will work, but only curious. Nehalem will not be under my tree this year, that's for certain.
I'd be curious to see 1 client vs 2 clients, and just run a 3rd to see how much the cpu can take. I know the overall ppd will drop, but how much will HT help? We'll have to see I guess.
Maybe even a forth client, because this is what dual SMP on a Quad is doing right now - 2x a1 on one core. I'm eager to see what i7 can do for us.
Yeah 8 logic cores :up:
