Hate to bring back an old thread, but I've added some more memory to the system...

Got in four 2GB 667MHz FB-DIMM modules, so now it's running 12GB over the previous configuration of 4GB.

Before:

The original 4GB of Samsung memory

After:

12GB of 667MHz FB-DIMM's!

The BIOS registers 12GB!

The BIOS Screen with 12GB Installed

I should have 8GB more coming so soon it will have eight 2GB modules for a grand total of 16GB, which is 2GB per core as it has 8 cores.

[bubba]

did it help any? or have you not played with it outside the screen shot to make us drool some more

[stopthekilling77]

oh my GOD.









one day, a long time from now, when this machine isn't the greatest thing you own anymore, consider selling it to me. im serious.

[dicecca112]

and this isn't doing ridiculous folding numbers why?

and this isn't doing ridiculous folding numbers why?

who sad it wasn't.... It's going to be SMP folding here in a little bit -- was memory limited before running all the SMP in a Virtual environment, but won't be now.

[dicecca112]

no need for a virtual anymore. Just run it native in linux. But you made this muppet very happy

Nate,

If you get that machine hooked up on the net, could I send a few Fluent ANSYS problems to be solved on it?

In two weeks, I'll be drooling over a Tyan server 10-processor quad-core machine with 60Gb of memory at work. But, it wouldn't be mine either.

At least you'll have the fun running that bad boy!

Me want...

[kappage]

Dear god...... What is this world Coming tooo!!!!

[DaIceMan]

you know what this means right....















Nate is actually going to pass me again. GRRR!

[dicecca112]

yeah I doubt that, at least any time soon. He's more than 200k behind you. He's only 100k behind me, it'll happen to me first.

[DaIceMan]

maybe I can get away from working 18 hour days this week and actually get the 'beast running again. My daily driver is crashed and I haven't had time to fix it either, so I'm down to Behemoth and my son's machine folding. Only like 1700ppd now.
