I think that link is worthy of being placed in the Toolbox forum

Somewhere during all the past travils the SpelChek function has gotten so slow, as to be unusable (in my humble opinion). I think it is useful feature, but not as it is today.

The one thing new Mac's have over PC's: The computers and screens are pretty! How can one fault eye candy? If it looks streamlined with nice curves == fast, then it must be fast...

I'm sorry, but Merc is right on and that is a very sad state indeed. I think one can trace the decline of "Family Values" in our society directly to the decline of respect given to teachers. When I went to school, teachers were refered to whith the following address "Yes, sir"; "No, Sir"; "Yes...

I'm not going to watch Bush's State of the Union address tonight! You already know what he's gonna say: How we need to kill more Iraq'ies in what appears to be a low grade undeclared civil war (The insurgants are not just bombing us, but rather each other) while we are busy training and...

Without QMD's, Hyper-Threading turned on with dual instances of folding become the definative configuration for Intel P4's giving about a 15% productivity boost compared to a single instance. Those with dual Xeons or dual cores can do four instances without the previous RAM bandwith problems.

Thats what insurance is for...

:(

It'd be nice if they offered this for everything. That way if someone destroyed their CD, it would be possible to simply DL it, create a replacement and not have to wait weeks and pay $ for microsoft to ship them one. It's not as if, any of their CD's were copy protected -- They use their...

Why, the version-2 seems to deal with the major complaints of version-1: More capacity and higher speed. Though it will probably cost more too.

WD drives are the best of all worlds. high performance, like an Atom; Low cost, like a Kia; Reliable as the Energiser bunny... :lol:

Hey, they are in Ashland, Oregon and I annually go down there to take in the Shakespearian Festival. Maybe I'll go visit them next Oct when I'm scheduled (I already have tickets). It'd be neat to get a test drive, but I have to admit that I doubt that I'd give it a great test (fear could take...

I think the Atom (top Gear Car) is quite appealing. But, it really needs a windshield -- I really really don't want my teeth to be used as a bug screen and a roof would be good too. Just a few creature comforts, just a few.

I'm sorry, but an 11.1 second 1/4 mile time is not that impressive for a super car.

The simplest way that I can think of is to physically seperate the front page from the forums (different hosts), so that you need only to post on the front page about any outages in the forums an you can post in the forums any outages in the front page.

Dell Sells computers in my Great Grandmothers back yard, so why not in the Phillippines?

Just as a side note, the quality of your power supply can directly correlate to the number of RAM errors experianced. Here we are talking about one error in a few months to several errors per day on an otherwise totally stable system. In this case, I'm not accusing the PS. Don't expect MB...

I'm sorry, but historicly most MB's with 4 RAM slots have had problems filling all four. This is not an issue that limits specific chipsets of AMD's. Some seem to have relatively done well at dealing with it, but others have not. The quality of RAM you use can have a massive difference in its...

It's not as likely to be an AMD issue but rather a MB/RAM quality issue! The RAM signals need to be high quality and very syncronized. When you put in 4 modules rather than two, the signals have more distance to travel and that means more opportunity to degarde because of line capacitance...

Because I'm not an unethical man...

No Linux clients run QMD's. Even non Intel chips run QMD's under Linux but they do so without SSE2 which is not a good thing.

Now, I've had the pleasent experiance of removing a 12V battery with a wrench that was in contact with my watch and having my watch spot-weld itself to the car frame. Now the voltage/current did nothing, but that spot-weld really did a good burn job to my wrist.

Make sure it is configured for large WU's. Other than that, I got Nothin'

You Canucks get all the deals...

It should be do able as jbod. You will have to enter the drive manager and import the foreign disks to access the data. And yes, backing up is a good thing to do.

My favorite Picture taken using my 100mm macro lens: Xmas97 It was taken in a dark room (multi-second exposure) focused on a clear glass candle holder a couple of inches away from the lens with a lit Xmas tree in the background. Equip: Canon Eos-2E, 100mm 2.8f Macro, tripod, f4 (I preferred...

I have to admit that my shots with a 100mm macro lens and a flash have almost universally been undesirable. If, I've really needed it to be a closeup then the lens itself will get in the way of from a camera mounted flash. Side holding the flash, it is a really hard thing to properly judge the...

There have been PS with builtin UPS's before. I don't think any have been financial successes. I think the market is too small. Servers, where price is less of an issue, generally already have a UPS infrastructure. Non-servers, almost always are price sensative and adding a UPS into the PS...

Or in the case of AMD X2 that are being switched over to QMD's one QMD and one non-QMD big WU (One instance switched to QMD's and one normal large WU instance)

Because QMD's are RAM bandwidth limited, not CPU bound. Both CPU's use the same bus to access RAM, so you gain little with the second instance. To optimize dual CPU's, it is probably best to have one doing QMD's and the other a non big WU (A non QMD).

The easy way to find out is to pull two sticks and compare frame-times

Hey folks, you really need to be giving it some time ( A week) to get a reasonable estimate. You can do better with a log file, but just looking at returned results, one needs more time to remove the variability of the start point/end point, machine usage, and stuff like that.

I just noticed Clocker submitted a couple WU's today: It's been a long dry spell for him.

Good luck. Folding seems to bring out the worst of overclocking. Where everything else seems stable -- It won't be to F@H. Check you logs, because the WU's may be finishing with errors (giving you little to no points). I wouldn't want you to lose more than you ever will be able to gain.

The chassis external intreface doesn't appear to be SCSI. The case uses fireware/USB. The internal drives are 250GB 7200RPM. Though I can't tell if they are IDE or SATA, it is unlikely they are using SCSI. There is nothing I can see that indicates the interface between the trays and the case...

It is my understanding that Windows has to report at least 504MB.

The prices that they list for accessories don't seem to be out of line at $39.99 for a tray. The drives are a bit expensive, but I'm sure that if you try you can get a matching drive by simply finding out the drive manufacturer.

Check the CMOS Setup for any ROM shadowing being turned on and then turn it off. However, Integrated graphics that shares system RAM can definately do this too.

I looked at his production and he is not getting QMD's that are worth 450 a pop -- I didn't see even one.

How much RAM does it have? QMD's will only appear if there is 512+MB and from what I'm seeing it is not getting these. QMD's are what makes P4's perform so well. To get QMD's you need large WU's enabled, -advmethods, and 512MB of RAM or more. My history with P4's is that once configured...

The purpose of ferrets is to limit the production of Electo-magnetic noise eminating from cables. Or as it was described by an Electrical Engineer -- They are there to correct improper engineering of the cables: Someone, when they designed the cables didn't take into proper consideration that...

Also, since the links provided did not copy from my copy/paste activity above, I'm supplying them seperately: Naughty-Intel Patches Section Intel_check_executable_patch.gz

Don't forget that if and when Stanford updates the FahCore96.exe, you will need to repeat the process. Updates are automaticly downloaded, so you will need to monitor that.

Folding QMD's on AMD machines: I got The following instructions for running QMD's on AMD machines from the Stanford folding forums. Since the instructions directly violate EULA's from both Intel and F@H I suspect that the thread will not remain. With that in mind, I'm posting them here in...

It is the mass market that produces junk because the empathis is always on cost and nothing else: because that is what sells. This pattern seems to occur in all products and with all companies. When one starts looking at quality, it always costs more and unlkess you are looking for...

As long as the US policy makers are in total denial, I don't see how the global climate trends are going to change. I understand why they are in total denial: The staggering costs involved in switching to a self-sustaining non-fossile fuel ecconomy. The best scenario that I've seen is where...

I'm not giving up. I'm just gonna keep plugging away. I may not have had the potential of a ddrueding or a Pradeep but I have longevity on my side.

Ahh, you mean SATA carriers. I thought you meant a SATA card with an external port that you would plug into a external drive case containing one or more SATA drives.
