Something else you should all think about. I just ran across this today.

Billl: Yep, of course it becomes a Windows problem now doesn't it if Windows uses the information supplied by BIOS to configure the size of the hard drives now doesn't it? ;) This issue doesn't affect Linux because Linux doesn't care about BIOS values after it has booted up. Well, it could be a Lin...

This is what the previous owner of the drive said he did. Tell me what you think "I had the same problem and it took me days to find out what I am about to tell you. You have to have a recent version of windows. I know on XP you must have SP1 or it only shows as 131GB. This is a problem with window...

Welcome aboard to both of you.

The multiplier is irrelevant. You would need one that went to 10.5 which obviously your BP6 doesn't do. Fortunately for you Intel locks the multiplier so you dont need to set it. Just set your system to 66MHZ bus and the multiplier to the highest setting you can get probably 8? and the CPU will sort...

You might also want to look at the Zalman 7000 alcu I used it on my last build (P4 2.8C) and it worked well. And yes they are adaptable to AMD's chips. It is very quiet and cools really well.

1280x1024 on my 19 inch. I could go higher but it seems to work pretty well. Plus with getting older my eyes ain't what they once were so if the type gets too small I'm screwed


Billl

perhaps if 'everyone' stopped watching every thread and just looked at unread messages now and then, it might be a bit faster. (?)

I agree. All I do is read the new posts as I login daily. I have noticed though that it is a bit sluggish at times too. But I'm not complaining.


Billl

I PM'ed ya.

what do you want for them? I'm really mostly only interested in the Celeron 1gig

Billl: Ever thought about selling them since they are simply collecting dust? Hadn't really occured to me. No one wants to give you anything for this crap anymore. Billl Does that mean that you are simply happy to get *something* for this crap? How much would that be then? No it just means I'll kee...

I currently own 3 working boards. Though none are actually in service. I only have so much space and they aren't all that efficent crunchers. At least not compared to the newer CPU's.


Billl

you haven't mentioned what your indicated VTT voltage is ... at 66fsb, 1.80 or 1.85 v is enough at 75fsb, probably need 2.00 - 2.10 and hard cooling. Why would you want to under volt the cores? As I recall those called for 2.0 as default? Under volting sure isn't going to help his stability problem...

well, I've been chasing around some stability problems... and they arent getting any better. I've got a 350W ps i got less than a week ago, but the computer still hard restarts and locks up sometimes. Trying to burn a cd at 16x is a hard restart. :cry: could it be the power supply is stil too small...

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/talks/madrid_03/madrid.html Read this, Bill! Folding@home is developing their transition to BOINC, there are some more projects that are on their way! So upgrade and forget that "who's got BIGGER?" complex about your stats :) if you are interested, so then just contribute!...

Human nature? psychology? call whatever you want but humans we are like this and the majority it has as a major problem for every change, and anything new is a change for EVERYONE. :) Cheers! I'm not afraid of change per se. I just think they are making a big mistake forcing everyone to make the tr...

My NetGear MR814 allows you to assign MAC addresses to specific IP's which pretty much eliminates anyone hacking in. Assuming of course you limit the number of address to the number of machines you actually have! DHCP is fine as long as you take these precautions. If you want total security I sugges...

Well I'll either just quit entirely or maybe work on the cancer one. Not really sure. Just pisses me off they are changing. I really liked my setup and I'm betting no one makes nice front ends for Boinc like they did for sah. Just a shame really I finally put togather one heck of a crunching farm an...

I wonder how many crunchers they will lose in this conversion. From what I've seen I may just take my computer power else where. I think the whole idea is a bad move.

actually it goes more like 1 job 2 seti stuff 3 girlfriend 4 sound competitions 5 games 6 multiple car maintenance 7 multiple machines 8 the pesonal network 9 other peoples computer maintenance 10 other peoples cars maintenance 11 BP6.com 12 concerts :P If you plan on keeping the girl friend, you m...

i use seti hide i've noticed problems lately as well but i keep about 30=99 wu's cached so i won't run out for awhile :P Your probably keeping too many on hand given your usual output. If you keep too many and you don't send them back soon enough your wasting your time even crunching them. After so...

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be ab...

oh by the way when you use caching clients like setique or setidrive, do they crunch the oldest WUs first? it should be logical, but who knows how they do that... Yes they do crunch oldest first. My question is how big should the cashe be? Some of my machines I have as much as 10 days others I have...
