Great job yesterday guys you really deserve a pat on the back!!! What was our total as a team today?
2,024,522. Another HUGE day.
A wolf in wolves clothing.
Yea i got to get in on this. Hope my heatsinks get here faster than its xeons away . Oh whats about the best DC box now. Quad xeon or what that QX6600 looks pretty nice.

Crunch with us, the XS WCG team
The XS WCG team needs your support.
A good project with good goals.
Come join us,get that warm fuzzy feeling that you've done something good for mankind.
If they're cranking points on the farm, I close the door and let them be. I've always been a good host for a party......
luckygriff, yup, that talk was only directed at my machines. Not you or your machines.
Hope you get your parts, in the same place, at the same time. I know how much it suks to have to wait on a critical component.......I had to wait on heatsink material once, now I've got so much of it I could have a shin-etsu, ceramique mainline party!!!
I'm being told by the experts that the Q6600s are the best bang for the buck on DC. I'll be trying that out soon.
Regards,
Bob
yup Q6600 is the way to go, no cheaper way to get a ton of cores quickly, except maybe steal that 80-core monster Intel has cooking up. Now time to find a way to utilize those 80 cores...hmmm
Dave and his lovely pics... never ceases to get me going.
EDIT: Thats not the box with the 120.3 fan mod?
what if your parents were the marcianos... i went to HS with anthony, and he drove a different car each day out of the week. MEaning he had 5 to rotate though.
MAJORLY fixed up RX-7 -> Range Rover -> Corvette ZR-1 -> Porshe ->Ferrari
Uhhhh... that was at the age of 17!
I dont think even our AARP members can match that.
I went to Bevery Hills High School if anyone is wondering :]
And lets not get into my brothers high school. Just 2 words: OLSEN TWINS.

Wow that is even worse than the kid at my school who has a gold plated cell phone, 5 expensive bikes (probably more), a big mansion, 7000 dollar alienware , his own 40" TV, PS3, and more...People say his dad's gonna buy him whatever car he wants as soon as he gets his license.
