Well, if we few, we merry and stoic few can stand firm to such a mighty foe, though we may fall, we will not fall easy. Much to the chagrin of many that dare face our small band.

Another new quad is coming online tonight.......

[WrigleyVillain]

it's more than 75,000 members

As my girlfriend would say Hmph!

Well, it is obviously good for the project. And pretty cool that a gaming organization would advocate crunching to it's members...

And, of course, we're the superstars when it really comes down to it and certainly always will be. This just proves it even further.

edit: awesome Bob! I was gonna offer you my newly old Zalman 9500 but I guess I'm too late even if you would have wanted that semi-decent hsf

Translation - Let's go kick some arse.......


Wrigley, thanks for the offer. However, I think you will need it for your next machine. I mean, you have a perfectly good fan laying around, now all you need is a CPU, Mobo, Ram, and, and, and....

Actually what I need is space.

I have a X3220 here that could use a good HSF, at least till I get it under water :p.

[SiGfever]

75K members, so that is what it takes to give up a run for our money. Lets not forget, we do have David.

And the Hamster Master is a team of his own making all that try to stand toe to toe to him cringe in his presence.

Lol, sadly, that's the way I've begun to think. I bought an amd 5000 be because I had a spare heatsink laying around that I didn't think would really cut it for a Quad. And I wanted to go back to having at least ONE amd system, figured I'd use it as my gamer/browser, then strip the intels down and make em go to work. Problem... Big typhoon didn't fit on AM2... and my shop is stuck away in a cargo container atm. So... I STILL have that damn sink laying around Maybe I'll have to buy another quad to replace my 6400 (didn't I do that in january already?).. oo then get another mb, ram psu for the 6400!

I was even joking with my friend who shares gilmore with me.. he decided to upgrade his ailing 1200 athlon (finally!) After several days of Dave style conversations I had talked him out of a dell e2200 and into a pretty decent q6600... along the way I (mistakenly) questioned his idea to buy 8gb of ram... I brought up that I did not discourage it at all... as ... even if he didn't have anything that needed that much memroy... and he had to pull 4gb out .. that it would be a nice start to another system... can't leave that much ram laying around collecting dust! It was a half serious joke, but I still wish he had gone the full 8gb
Anyway, if anyone is in Sacramento, and has a spare pci, or pcie vid card, I'm sure he'd be thrilled to be able to put power to it... and get it on the grid this weekend. Everything came but the quadro card... he has to wait till tuesday for that.

now... about that typhoon.. what to do.. what to do.....

[123bob]

now... about that typhoon.. what to do.. what to do.....

You've caught the essence of it all, the answer is simple, and you already know what it is......Build another machine!!

My latest addition is doing an op sys install right now. She booted fine, with a very easy labor, and I feel like I should be passing out the cigars, saying welcome to the farm..... I don't know, the 12th quad is almost as thrilling as the first.....and so it goes...

Remember, Dr. SiG is our resident Staff expert here. I'm sure he can help you over the guilt of adding "just one more"...

[phelan1777]

lol my typhoon is going on my 3220 for now till I get another part for a loop.

My output will be down for a few days, due to a power outage at the office that kept my farm there down for the better part of Sat/Sun. Some 15 sticks of DDR2 ram died as a result, though I managed to bring the entire farm back up except for a E6700 rig and a DC rig which I'll work on next week.

That's why

After I repaired and restarted most of the rigs at the office on Sunday there was no internet access since the routers were also taken out and were not restarted until Monday morning. But I am happy to report that all rigs are back online, though a score of quads are now running on 1 Gig of ram in single channel.

That is going to be one big dump

Good to hear you're back up. When you said your score would be down, I didn't think it would be that far. You must have the majority of your quad farm animals stabled at the office.

I suppose with the dump you will likely see tomorrow, it will probably be a record daily score for you. Congrats in advance....

I put on quad #12 last night. It's my new garage workbench machine. I'm typing this on it now. It was an easy build and software install. This machine also looks to be a good clocker. It is a week 39 Q6600 on a DS3L. It's at an easy 3 gig with just 1.4 bios CPU volts set, for loaded CPUz volts of 1.312 and coretemps of 55,55,49,51. I'm thinking this one may do 3.5-3.6 with some tweaking. I'm getting better at clocking slowly but surely.

Wow, I know you spend a hell of a lot of time this weekend trying to get everything back up best you could, Victor. I'm sure hat was a lot of work!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I spent the better part of 10 hours, today, deep in computers. I had a quad rig, I had loaned out, returned to me. It has an OS installed now ( the drive that was in it was the only part of it that wasn't mine ), but I've run out of time for the day. I'll get it fully up tomorrow.

The guy returned it after several months of use ( and crunching, of course ) because he finally got the last of his parts together for his first build. It is kind of a mirror of the one I had loaned him, LOL. We spent most of the day putting it together.

q6600, 2 x 2GB Patriot, 550 GB of SATA HDD, Blue LED Tuniq Tower 120, Sapphire HD 3870/512, Corsair 520HX, twin DVD-R/RW's. The best part of it is he kinda likes the idea of crunching, so he will be joining his rig to XS~WCG

I've been having random issues with work units not wanting to automatically report for the past couple of days. So I'll go to uni, then come back and find that I've got 10-15 WUs qued up waiting for me to hit "Update". Also having the odd issue with WCG not sending me new WUs to replace the ones I've finished. If others are having the same problem, then their headless crunchers might have a bit of a que waiting for them.
