I don't have one, I want one: It was the first machine I played with. I have no idea where I could even hope to get one though.

I still want my working PDP-8/L

2,000,000 Certificate Congrats to eveyone that has helped us to get where we are today. Here's to the next Million!

I'd start wondering if they don't have a thermistor somewhere else, other than the CPU, measuring temps like the chipset. Also, installing a MB monitor program might help in identifying if ASUS really thinks something is really too hot. Then there is the BIOS setup where you can monitor...

I enjoy looking at Fry's occasionally. NewEgg is always cheaper but it isn't a replacement for impluse buying or if you need something NOW. Unfortunately, At Fry's you always have to be careful about not buying restocked items (Someone elses problem). At least they label the restocked items...

Those are the questions when dealing with a new decompression algorithum... and of course what is the compression ratio.

No, simply stop the service and run the console with -configonly then you can restart the service

Don't forget that -advmethods is not enough. You need to run the console with the -configonly option and say yes to the Large WU's question.

No, you have to be connected to the internet to send results and recieve WU's. There are some really kludgey work arounds (manually moving folders from computer to computer) but no one in their right mind would use them.

-advmethods tries to pick the newest WU's (Beta's) that are out in preference to established WU's. Currently those are the big WU's.

Gotta get Fushigi to switch over to Big WU's. That alone ought to give us another 1000 points per day.

We averaged over 8000 ppd this entire week. At 6000 we were very slowly dropping but If we can sustain this new rate we should start improving our team ranking over the next few weeks. During the next month the team should break the 2,000,000 point milestone.

You can get away with large WU's on both machines as long as you have at least 512Meg of RAM. It will take several days to complete one 600 point unit though (aprox 100 hours on my 1900) but it will still easily finish before its time limit. I'm doing Large WU's on my 1900MP and it gets about...

It is avail. in mine. Though it is not in my menu system, by default, I just added it back wiith customize.

It always has come with my modem -- Never had to get a stand-alone freeware package.

Tools->customize->commands->go (left size window) ->news (Right side window). Then drag the news Icon into the menu.

Try under-clocking the card. What you are describing is what happens when video RAM starts failing. Underclocking may help stablize the RAM.

No that address is CS:S the :20715 is Original CS not port :27017

The Large WU's and their 100% bonus are starting to show their effect. My daily production went from 1400-1500 -> 2500-2800 (Some machines still get standard WU's). However, it has taken some time to notice the increase. Those 600 point WU's take days to process even on a fast machine. Also...

Come on guys -- A celeron???? Then we have the issue of a non-useful 8x PCI-E port leaving PCI video as the only real option. No sound. This machine won't work as a general purpose machine! As a cheap server it is OK once you upgrade the processor, but as a home machine it sucks the big one...

I asked the same question at the F@H forums and was directed to the following post: At that point I think I prefer using FireDaemon rather than F@H's service capability

You can add startup parameters to any service. Right click My computer and pick manage->services and applications->services. Pick the service and select properties and you can insert start parameters.

forceasm enables SSE on AMD chips; and removes some automated corruption checking. A single CPU that has Hyperthreading turned on is treated as two CPU's. Both virtual CPU's need seperate directories and seperate CPU numbers and the -local switch so their configs are stored in files within...

The config file is non-text based (binary) so you are likely to be missing lots of info if you are reading it via a text-based reader like notepad. You won't see anything stat wise from Stanford untill at least the first WU is finished and then the number of CPU's will increase. You need...

I solved my back problems by occasionally doing leg-lifts and sit-ups.

Folders might want to upgrade their F@H version to 5.02 and then reconfigure (use the -configonly option on first use) to allow large WU's. Large WU's give a 100% points bonus! This only applies to modern machines with 512MB+ RAM. The large WU's tend to use 130-150M+ of your ram and tend to...

Yes, Master! I be but a slug at your feet. No better than the lowliest worm. No more like toilet paper; to be used and thrown away. What is your whim master? How may I serve you?

ddrueding, For that matter assigning a max CPU useage (in advanced options when the client is being configured) may solve your problem with F@H interfering with gaming machines: If you leave some %CPU unused then it may remove the problem with games that are currently being impacted. Having...

I added a dual Opteron 246 server to my count. I can't guarantee that it will remain a permanent folder, but we'll see. That should add aprox 20% to my daily score for an aprox total of 1,500 pts per day. Catch me if you can. Come on guys: Fushigi you were supposed to bring online several...

Isn't it illegal to sell used products as new? Stuff like that makes my blood boil and it becomes a matter of principal, for me, to make sure others are not duped ...

Recently, I've been having problems with installs because the MB has AHCI turned on by default and the OS can't detect a proper HD controller. You are obviously having a detect problems -- Possibly the same problem? I've been solving my dificulties by switching to standard ATA and then later...

No Dellf coupon required!

Clocker, go to the Dell home site and there is a Dellf contest that anyone is allowed to enter daily. Losers get Dell coupons...

Very unimpressed with the price. Dell very commenly has discounts on their monitors. This packaged with a discount system is more than the monitor normally goes for as a seperate item. If you can get a Dellf coupon ( The Dellf promotion continues till 1/5/05) you can get the same monitor for...

I still have Six 45GB IBM 75 GXP's a running 24x7. I have yet to have a failure. To me they have been good drives unlike my 250GB WD's and Maxtors which have been less than stellar.

Dual x16's are in the pipeline: It is just a matter of time before they appear. But, you are correct that currently the MB makers are only offering to split the x16 bus into two x8 slots. I look at that as a very short-term kludge till multiple real PCI-e slots take over. As long as there is...

Actually, I think having multiple PCI-e slots is an important MB longevity characteristic. At the moment, there are only graphics cards using the slot but that won't remain. In the long run, the industry's goal is to replace all the PCI slots in favor of PCI-e slots as a better choice. If...

Sorry to disagree Fushigi but I think this is an excellent decision for IBM. IBM has not been making much money in that market for years. I say good for them: Getting out while there is still a market is a good decision. PC's for the most part have become a commidity market where no one...

I disagree with everyones opinion of Spybot. It does one thing that Adaware does not do -- Immunize. The ability to keep stuff from reinfecting is a good deal.

I have a Netgear WGR614 v1 (802.11g) and it has worked fine since day 1. My biggest annoyance has been the inability to upgrade the BIOS to include WPA. I'm starting to have problems with the 10/100 switches and am considering replacing the unit however. Clocker, are you sure it is a v1 that...

Next time I see a deal like that, I'll buy 5 (the amount that their rebates allow) and then sell the machines too.

I agree, I got good prices: They could have bought them from Dell cheaper and not pay shipping either. As it is, I got two 3.2 P4 8400's for folding at aprox $200 each by selling the unneeded freebe stuff ( the monitors) that Dell sent me with the machines. Hey, If I can be assured to get...

Conceivably, but why would you want to? You don't need to -- You are simply modifying the Windows XP files.

I have electric heat - Computers make for excellent heaters. I just never turn on the heat in the winter. I have nine machines continuously on and my electric bill stays around 100-110 per month regardless of lighting, cooking, etc.

I added two more 3.2GHz P4's to my count. That should add aprox 25% to my daily score to aprox 1,100 pts per day. Catch me if you can. Current folding systems: 1 Dual Athlon 1900+ MP's 3 Athlon XP 2500+ 2 Athlon XP 2500+@3200+ 3 HT 3200 P4's

I had already upgraded my paypal account to a business account to allow credit cards for these sales. the 2.9% fee is not enough to make/break a sale and credit cards definately increase the potential market size. I specificly choose not to accept money orders/checks. While it will increase...

Clocker, The reason I don't express interest in another distributed computing project is because I'm already committed to Folding@Home with SF's team. I see no benefit in splitting my efforts. There really isn't anything wrong with the other distributed computing projects but rather why...

I would love a 1Ds Mk-2 but they are still too spendy for me. I'm still stuck with my EOS-3. Anything digital, that is affordable, I feal as a step down. I guess that I'm just plain stuck in the mud. I agree that computer upgrades are much less of a requirement than they used to be: real...

This is my first attempt at selling on Ebay. Anyone want to critique the adds?
