First, good job on the garden. It will be fun. Whatever they are, and all those guesses take a bunch of room, you should consider seperating them before they get much bigger. Last year, our zucchini (3 plants) were too close, got 3' around, really interfered with the other plants, and made more zucc...

It's one of those rare moments when the wife says, "You might as well do those computer upgraded that you want now..." Since I'm thinking about trading my XP 3200 for some Athlon64 architecture, possibly dual core. The most cost effective path for me is to get a board that A64 and permits me to keep...

I have 2nd degree black belt and can probably take most folks that want my groceries, but would do exactly what you did. Obviously, your roommate hasn't been mugged yet, but he/she will change their minds afterwards. When people ask me to teach them a "martial art trick" I say that I'll teach you my...

The 2700 will fold faster.

Not sure if it's the mobo or not. Do you have know good parts to swap in? Like video and sound cards? I had a remotely similar problem in that my wife's machine would reboot. The ASUS probe that came with the A7N8X Deluxe RevD would show the rails drop off, causing the fans to stop, causing the cpu ...

I had 4 impacted widsom teeth removed at one time. Two were really stubborn and needed to be cut in half for removal. It was an interesting scene. Because I went to the dental school, they could only give me a 10mg valium and novacaine. No gas and no general anesthesia. I don't complain much and the...

Bah!! lighten up.

You know, I may switch to UGN. Although I laughed at you when UGN was hatched, I can still laugh from within UGN now. I was once in the top 25, but now I'm 69th. Soon I'll be on the second page. In fact, I hardly think about folding anymore, but my 3 boxes still chug away. In fact, why would I not s...

run memtest86 on the memory to make sure that it is ok

I accidentally ordered a microATX motherboard, but don't know if it will fit in my extra mid-tower case. It seems like it should, and I don't really care what size the board is. Are there any good reasons to refuse delivery and order an ATX sized board?

Edit: yes, it will fold

boobyne

I'll run some tests with mine tonight and let you know (that is 12 hours from now). I got the XFX brand.

Good luck.

Have you run memtest386? If not, I suggest that you do.

I have a decent main rig that does everything that I want at the moment. This will be an upgrade of my third rig and will free enough parts for a fourth (K7S51 & 1G Duron). They all fold and I've been folding for a while. I'd like to remain in the top 40 (lbd) for a little longer, but the production...

I have some parts that I may be able to put together, minus the motherboard, but am wondering if what I have will work and if it's worth it to spend the money. This is what I have: Full Tower w/ generic 400W psu (FoxConn?) 2 x AXP (modded w/ pen to read AXP, supports MP) 512M C2 2400 RAM LeadTek GeF...

I just got a job, after 10 months, so will do some upgrades and get another box asap.

(EDIT)
P.S. I've got the engineers looking into running some boxes on the office network too.

Did you know that you can suspend or sandwich your drives to cut down on noise? If you want the louder drives, you can suspend them, or, maybe you can suspend your current drives and save some money.

boobyne

As soon as I get a job, I'll add a few more cpu's. I've already modded two of my XP2400's to go dual, then I can upgrade to XP3200's, and maybe add another box. Right now I'm hurting - I only have two boxes folding.

mstrmold, I'm glad to hear you're re-motivated. Keep it up.

I've bought newegg refurbished mobos with success. You can definitely get a mobo that will support a 333mhz fsb processor for >=$50. That means that your friends can upgrade to a higher rated Barton next year when they and the RAM are cheaper. You can check the cpu support before you pick one. I als...

Durons 1G and above have SSE instructions. They're cheap: $43 for a 1.6G at newegg; $37 for a 1.4G; 34.50 for a 1.3G. However, you are much better off with a 1700+ ($50) or better if your board will support it, due to the larger cache.

Edit: what is the model and maker of your motherboard?

boobyne

Well, I don't know much about the P4 platforms, except that they excel in mutlimedia benchmarks, probably due to the higher bandwidth of the bus. So that makes sense if multimedia is what you're after. I went with AMD because their products are good, well priced, and I just game and program. If I we...

My A7N8X-DLX would not post with an old stick of OCZ 2700 CAS 2.5. I had to get some Corsair RAM. Have you tried one RAM stick on a less agressive memory setting?

boobyne

Yes, you did the right thing.

Look at the bright side: you're single, it's time to party.

Just don't get a DUI/DWI over the holidays or you'll really be bummed.

Good luck.

I had a machine that would sometimes reboot when bumped. It turned out to be a faulty hard drive connection. Even though I checked the connections, it took a hard drive replacement for me to really figure out what was going on.

boobyne

I'll chime in because nobody else has, not because I'm an expert. I think that with SCSI that you need a controller. I also seem to remember instructions when you initially start the Windows installation to press F6? (read the screen) to install a third party? controller. I had to do that to install...

You guys should have your cholesterol checked. How does dying of a heart attack or surviving a stroke sound? I don't know about you, but I want to wipe my own ass until the day I die.

Just trying to help.

Somebody lock this thread.

I just get the Vantec Stealth to avoid the headache of dealing with Panaflo fan tails. I don't like having to pay extra for Panaflo tails that don't work and force you to pay shipping and handling to purchase more tails that may not work. It adds up. The Vantec comes assembled and works on the day t...

Zenith,
I like my Zalman flower. It's quiet and dropped a few degrees off my temp.
