Sorry KnigtRid...

[DaIceMan]

you made it to 4.8 days from overtaking me, but I've got one machine going and should have the other machines running by the end of the weekend. Should be enough to hold you off.

[vbironchef]

Glad to have you back DaIceMan. What did you do to your rig? What are you doing to your other rig? Maybe some pics would be nice. Can you beat my score in that program?

[DaIceMan]

I have my gamer back up and running for now. I'm pretty sure something is wrong with the processor because I can't overclock it AT ALL or it crashes.

2 machines running GPU. Soon (today) to add SMP to one of those (quad core). My server, since it won't see much work, has my SLI board in it with 2x Gigabyte 8800GTs, but I can't get it to see the 2nd card for some reason. i've been working with Asus Support (oxymoron?) for a week now, but they just keep sending the obvious things for me to try (test cards in other slots, etc) and I've obviously done all the obvious steps.

I won't be posting pics right now. The gamer is going to down for some more mods, paint, etc when I RMA the processor, so I'll post pics of it then. The others aren't much to see right now, but the specs are located at http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key= ... 3gUA&hl=en

So you have four rigs! That's going to be hard to beat! I hope you hurry up because I am planning on building a Nehelem system. Don't know when and I have not picked out the parts needed but it should be a throw down when it's built

[martini161]

vbironchef, can i have some of your money? or at least your old rig

[vbironchef]

You make more than me! I don't have any debt. I live way below my means. I don't even have a credit card. I built my rig two years ago, it was my first build. I changed the cpu cooler, video card and dvd burner and that's it. I put it together for my wife Natasha, so she can work from home and not have a lot of lag. She does many things at once and our old P4 1.8 dell was a drag. Now she can work and play at the same time. Now it's time I have my own computer. I'm not going to take any **** from her as how much it cost because I deserve my own rig. Do you agree or not?

[martini161]

yes but do you have any kids bleeding you dry?

[vbironchef]

Natahsa has a 29 year old. She is thinking of moving back in for awhile. You can shoot me now please. I can't stand the thought of her moving back! She has the nerve to drink my beer! Talk about a college grad with no ambition except to meet a guy that will take care of her. No, I'm not a happy guy when it comes to this stuff. I want her to leave us alone. Mom paid for her college, what more does she want? Besides everything!

[martini161]

yup, thats the one rule my dad set when i moved back in: Stay the **** away from my beer! i could use his tools, his tv, everything but his fridge!

[vbironchef]

Ok, we stole this thread enough. Sorry guys. Let's see some pics. Please tell us what you did. Can you beat a XFX gtx 280?

[martini161]

when im done (just ordered some stuff yesterday) thell be pics in my work log, as always

[vbironchef]

Great, I hope everything goes together easy.

[martini161]

pff, what fun would that be?

[DaIceMan]

4 machines that are Folding capable. I have other machines that my son's use, but they are too slow for folding.

[DaIceMan]

Ok... Wife's, Daily, and Gamer are all Folding GPU. Gonna tinker with SMP on Daily tomorrow, as well as try to get Server to recognize that it has 2 video cards installed, or at least get one of them Folding.

Can't seem to get FAHMon to load one of the clients correctly, but it looks like I'll be sitting right at 15kppd with these 3 GPU's. Gonna need to crank up the clocks a little to get them all over 5200ppd.

[KnightRid]

I had my brief glimpse at the top 2, but alas, I shall fall short - for now

Glad to have you back folding!!!!

Mike

[Darkstar]

welcome back to the fold!

[DaIceMan]

looks like 14k ppd right now with the 3 machines that are running. Time to do some tweaking to get each of them over the 5k ppd barrier. Add an SMP to that, and 2 more GPUs, I should be holding down around 24-25k ppd when everything washes out. That's no Nitteo, but it's pretty good for my budget.
