I have found this review to be particularly helpful. The cards tested there are those most computer shops sell the most (the low-end to mainstream ones). I've found an HD 2400XT made by PowerColor that is in low profile format. I think that's the card I'll end up putting in the SlimPC...

I think it is the second best of the serie, just behind the original. I don't think it is possible to own the electronic networks like the evil guys did though. I'm sure there are way more things that have to be done manually than what's controlled remotely in the movie.

I own an X1600 Pro and it scores ~1750 3D Mark'06. What I read on the Net was that the HD 2400 Pro scores ~1250 3D Mark'06 and the 8400GS scores ~1600 3D Mark'06. The X1550 Pro is slower than my X1600 Pro, but I don't think it is by much. I suppose it must scores between 1400 and 1600 3D...

Je peux te donner des cours si tu veux.

I'm firmly against increasing the edit time allowance. There's a "preview" button : use it. If you hit submit by accident, live with it. It happened to many before.

http://forum.folding-community.org/portal.php?topic_id=20562 I hope this is related. What is happening with Boz?

What's wrong with the point attribution for the SMP units? I completed one well in time for the 9pm update yesterday, but I still haven't been credited for it (probably a 1760 points unit). I see SMP units in the stats of others, but somehow my last one wasn't rewarded. I'll go bitch about it...

Thanks. I'll see if I can get this card here. It's a little on the expensive side though. An X1550 with 128bit memory should perform more or less like a 8400GS, a tad better than a HD 2400 Pro.

Even better : Galaxy 8600GT low-profile. But not available in North America! The world is against me.

FOUND! : MSI NX8500GT-MTD256EH. HDMI, low-profile and a tolerable 8500GT GPU. I just don't know where I'll find a low-profile bracket for it, but at least half the problem has been solved. Thanks all for your help.

Replace half-height by low profile. Bad connections in my brain this evening.

Wow, 8400GS versus HD 2400 Pro. Both 64bit memory interface. I'm speechless.

I'm looking for the fastest 0.5- 8 (half height) PCI-E graphic card currently available. It is for a slimPC that will have to be good enough for casual gaming on a WUXGA display. DVI out is mandatory, HDMI would be nice too, althought I'm not dreaming. Please don't tell me that 0.5 8 card...

The performance is good but the that chipset is a real grill (because it dissipates a lot of heat).

One asshole support guy from Microsoft (named "Jim") refused to let me reactivate the computer of a customer. I told him I'm a technician reinstalling the operating system. He asked me if it was the first time it was activated and I told him I didn't know (how could I? It's not MY computer)...

Now Coug says : ""Don't waste your money".

You can fake to do an OS repair with an OEM disk. If your install isn't OEM, it won't offer you to repair the OS automatically and will skip that step. Then you can try with a retail or a corporate disk and see if it works. I highly doubt they would have given you a corporate license, so it's...

Yeah, you should not need to upgrade until at least September. ;-)

Ah, ok. I mean : shit, I'll lose a spot in the team ranking.

I haven't seen anything making me believe that a C2Q can produce more than twice what an X2 6000+ can do on FAH. Also, I doubt the 30% advantage that 4MB L2 cache Core 2 units have over the 2MB version. If that was the case, Bozo (who has a 3.2GHz Core 2 Duo with 4MB L2 cache) would be running...

My supplier told me the price cut was scheduled for the 12th of July, not the 9th. I'm glad the A64 X2 6000+ will fell like this : I still have an unsold Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro heatsink on my tablet. The 6000+ dissipates quite a lot and the Freezer 64 Pro will be put to good use soon...

My supplier offered me a deal this week, so I can sell the latest 1TB Hitachi drive at 400$CAN for StorageForum members (I would sell it 15$ more normally). Deal is good for the entire week. I make no profit on shipping. I will ship from Montréal via the courrier of your choice. I'll put...

Thanks.

Apparently she does. I forgot what MIDI is. Only thing I remember about it is that people with long hair and smelling weed asked for this stuff in the nineties.

I don't have ?buntu installed on any of my systems right now and I don't remember the names exactly. But I used to update via the system menu and I think it was system updates. I'll have to reinstall it.

http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FastTrackPro-main.html http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FastTrackUSB-main.html I have a customer who ask me about the M-Audio USB Midi interface and which one would be better for her and blahblahblah... I don't know anything about MIDI stuff and I...

I checked in and he is still breathing. He should resume posting in the near future.

U/Ku/Xubuntu is my favorite Linux distribution. Easy to install, easy to upgrade with aptget, nice layout, overall quite good. Still not mature enough IMO to let average users mess with it, but close. My major gripe with it (and most other Linux distribution) is that updating applications...

Trully outstanding post Bozo. Congrats!

And I'll be in good shape tomorrow (well, today) since I slep early in the evening : I had nothing else to do.

I don't live in Mexico, I live in Québec. Our dollar is worth 95¢ US. So my 40$ is like ~38U$. Where did you get that convertion?

Slower than my previous plan, but unlimited download/upload amount. 40$/month, business account. Enough for my needs.

Yep, or Merc would give his face the Thinkpad T23 treatment (walk on it).

In the computer forum, your word has some value. But for unreleased products, it isn't about your word but only about who/what you read. It's not like you had an X2600 in your hands to test yourself. In this case, your source was more accurate than mine, but that isn't always the case. For...

There's a new beta5 fah client that works with X16x0 cards that is now available on Stanford's download page.

...But the new client no longer supports my X1600 pro. Only the X19x0 are. Calvert!

http://forum.folding-community.org/ftopic20407.html It's because it hasn't been updated yet. Pas fort. You can download the updated beta GPU client from the thread I linked above.

I've downloaded the latest beta GPU client from Stanford's site (15 minutes ago) and when I'm trying to start it up, I get the message that this beta expired on July 2nd. WFT?

Weird. It took less time to complete a FAH frame when the FSB was at 284MHz then it is taking now with the FSB at 300MHz. RAM timings are supposed to be the same. Not fun. Orthos ran for at least two, if not three hours (I forgot about it and did something else meanwhile) without giving me...

Current DDR3 modules have high latencies and that make them no faster than high-end, but still cheaper DDR2 memory sticks. DDR3 = next year. This year, you'll pay the big price only to get small results.

How much time do you test each frequency in order to determine that it's stable? Half-an-hour of Orthos should be enough, isn't it? Otherwise, it will take an insane amount of time to determine what's the maximal stable frequency of a setup. My previously unoverclockable E6400 is now...

Merc should pass the 10K mark in about four days. You'll no longer be there in four days? In any case, it's been a pleasure and you will be remembered. I wish it could have been otherwise, but I supposed there's little one here can say to make you reconsider. Farewell.

Thanks to Vista, I've lost two days of SMP folding on my most powerful computer. I transfered the system to a new enclosure (went from a Thermaltake Swing chassis to an Arctic Cooling Silentium T2 Pro). All the internal components stayed the same and were plug exactly the same. The bug-ridden...

I don't know who started the rumor I heard, but if I see him, I'll punch him in the face. The lower-end ATI cards manage to be even worse than those of Nvidia and that's no small feat.

I don't know, but I've seen Directron around for quite a while now. They are at least 7 years old, probably more. I never ordered there however. Last time I checked, they didn't ship to Québec. You probably have small computer shops near you that sell the Freezer 7 Pro. It is pretty popular.

The 15.4" Macbook Pro with its LED-enlighten display. Happy comeback.

You better love the mother for real, because she'll be part of your life forever now (in your bedroom or your paycheck). One head closer to the 7 billion mark. Congratulations.

Wait for July 22nd. How many times will I have to write it? WAIT FOR JULY 22ND! Didn't understand? WAIT FOR JULY 22ND!

There are no such things as a Vista clean install. All Vista installations end up being dirty. Vista had more updates since its launch day then XP during the same period. I'm pretty sure the CHKDSK mess has nothing to do with the health of the drive. Fushi probably just found bug #124327 of...

So as I predicted, GigaByte or any other major brands, none is guaranteed to work 100% of the time. It's impressive indeed that none of the NEC DVD burners were dead.
