Re: ** Official 2009 F@H WAR Competition Thread **

you should be folding with your eVGA 8800GT SC with Akimbo cooling Kit. That will put up a lot more points than your laptop. Thats all I have folding right now is the 8800gt. My laptop has a 2.53Ghz Core 2 Duo though so I thought I could get 1000ppd more by having it fold. I'm using my netbook for ...

Re: ** Official 2009 F@H WAR Competition Thread **

Hey sorry again for the folding failure. If i'm no longer on a team could I at least be put back on the alternate list? I'm doing much better monitoring my system so it doesn't spend too long if any down. Also I'm trying to recruit friends to fold under my name until the 22nd then to fold for the te...

Re: ** Official 2009 F@H WAR Competition Thread **

Sorry!

I should be back up again, I'm currently in my Pediatrics clerkship and my machine went down and I didn't check it for a while. I'm working on getting a few other processors or video cards under my name to make up for the lost time.... sorry team

Re: MILLION HIT BY 'PLAGUE WORSE THAN SWINE FLU'

I for one will not be getting the vaccine. Never liked needles, don't see a point for getting the vaccine, etc.. They have the live attenuated vaccine that you spray up your nose. That's what I got because there is a shortage of the shot. Kids under 2 can't get the mist and pregnant women aren't su...

Re: MILLION HIT BY 'PLAGUE WORSE THAN SWINE FLU'

The H5N1 is nothing to sneeze at nor have it sneezed on you. The higher the HX number the more severe the number of deaths are predicted. So far 5 is the highest on the scale. This is absolutely not true. This is so far from being factual that I can't even think of an analogy to put it into perspec...

Re: Problem installing XP

Always install your OS before you start overclocking. That's my general rule at least. I like to see improvements over stock so I run benchmarks first with stock settings and go from there. If your RAM isn't stable at stock speeds you need to send it back. The fact that you had problems with the HDD...

I just got an email about this yesterday. I don't have FFHmon installed right now, but after a day or two, my average is pretty easy to see by the graph.

Re: Thoughts about my new Netbook

I'm a little ashamed to say that I bought it only to bridge the time between my needs right now and when the ION 2 chipset becomes available. A core 2 ultra-low voltage plus 9400m seems like a dream come true at this point, especially if it could be kept right at about 3 pounds. I'm going to sell mi...

Re: Thoughts about my new Netbook

You won't void the warranty for hard drive or memory. I actually took out the keyboard and plastic cover including the touchpad and there is not a warranty sticker anywhere on it. It was a pretty easy disassembly and I can't imagine they would have any way of knowing I opened up. (except that it has...

Re: Thoughts about my new Netbook

$368 shipped. I bought 2x2gb from someone on craigslist for $35 and then bought a bluetooth module on ebay for $18. I guess that brings me up to $421 for my current configuration. I need to sell my 2x1gb that came with it to offset some of the cost of RAM. It is the only way a netbook-like computer ...

Re: friend needs help

This Product will supposedly let you use a PCI-E graphics card on your laptop, and is very expensive, but would be worth a try for academic curiosity. Your best bet is to buy a usb sound card that is very likely better than the ones you are trying to keep.

Re: Black Friday 2009

I don't think there are any have-to-have items this year, and with the amount of great online deals it is hard to find the energy to get up early, find parking, and navigate the zombies to get deals on stuff I don't feel strongly about. If i'm going to spend my day off, I want to get something I fee...

Re: New Build

I like your hardware choices, I'd spend the additional money on an OS upgrade. Windows 7 is leaps and bounds above Vista. I'm running it on my netbook/notebook and it is SOOOO fast.

Re: Should i get the hd4850 or hd4890?

According to Tom's, you can't go wrong with any of these choices. They all earned "best graphics card for the money" in their respective fields. If you can afford the 4890 or 5770 they are great picks. If you plan on folding though, nVidia is still the best bang-for-your-buck. When the cod...

Thoughts about my new Netbook

So I finally made a decision and bought a notebook/netbook. I bought the Acer AS1410-2801. It is a "midnight blue" 11.6" notebook with a 1.2GHz Celeron dual-core processor, the SU2300. It weighs only 3.08 lbs and you can look up the rest of the specs somewhere. My thoughts so far are:...

Re: ABS Tigas Super Full Tower Chassis Review

It looks like he's right. Still a nice case however and even though I'm a huge Lian-li fan, I'd buy whichever was cheaper.
