Well it's quicker than walking to school. 3 minute ride versus 10 minute walk. The sidewalks are plowed with a little v-plow, so it's usually OK. If it's raining one of us will drive him.

I got my eldest a mountain bike, 24" tires, 21 speeds is a little too much for him to get his head around so I've got it in 2nd on the 3 cog and then he has 1-7 on the back cog. The instruction manual actually has a list of gears that aren't recommended (the one's furthest apart). Too hard to...

If you are running the Catalyst Control Center then you can monitor the GPU temp in it (ATI Overdrive). No need to change any settings.

Are there any RAW converters that offload to GPU? Haven't kept up to date on such things. If so, that could be a reason to go higher up the grunt scale.

The 5000 series support UVD 2 functionality. What is the Nikon format? If it's AVC it should be OK.

Will be fine for 2D work.

6850/6870 cards should be available at or shortly after launch. The higher end 6950/6970 is due in November, with the dual GPU 6990 in December.

Sorry, inside/outside won't matter. If you plug the power adaptor that goes to the battery pack into a UPS that should boost your runtimes. It won't know the power is out till your UPS drains.

Is the ONT mounted inside? Should be able to plug it into a UPS (along with the networking gear etc).

http://semiaccurate.com/2010/10/15/radeon-hd-6800-speculations-rumours-and-leaks/ So the replacement for the 5770 class is the 6870, 150W+ via two 6 pin connectors, the 5750 replacement is the 6850 (sub 150W, 1 6 pin connector). Interesting how they have Display Port passthru capability.

Late reply here too, the IBM X series servers I've used with the 5160 type Xeons have an option to use a spare bank of memory as a hot spare, in addition to some kind of RAID type setting IIRC. That's what I always went with, integrity over ultimate speed, there were available slots, in the...

The only real worry would be your power supply, and regularity thereof. However, given this is a favor you do for us, I wouldn't be complaining if the site was down for a couple of hours each year due to local conditions on your end. That's certainly fast enough for storageforum.net.

Currently the closest fire truck is just 3 minutes down the road, staffed by volunteers. Prob 8 minutes to gather at scene with the hose hooked and interior certified guys going in. My friend got certified to drive the truck, I would roll the big bastard for sure. The wood interior panneling...

From what I gather, he's reformatting to regain drive performance after heavy writes cause performance to hit the shitter? The big downside I see to the SSD currently is that it is a variable speed device, that degrades with use. A finite life if you will.

Yeah, the question is how it does with already compressed RAWs/NEFs/TIFFs etc.

"The SF-2600 ships with the external SAS bridge and a special firmware revision to enable support for non-512B sectors." Looks like what you want for a SAS 6 RAID controller. Intel are still implementing it in future logic chipsets, aka way behind the 8 ball.

http://semiaccurate.com/2010/10/05/third-gen-intel-x25-m-specs-leaked/ Might as well wait for the E class drives, 60TB of writes is nothing (M class).

Some big earners you've been producing Coug, you are keeping us cranking. Thanks.

Companies selling known defective parts? Hmm, sounds familiar. http://www.nvidiasettlement.com/affectedmodels.html I believe there are other nvidia GPUs that die that didn't get included in this.

Actually the 5770 is nice because it is a) modern (DX11, DTS-MA etc), and b) quiet.

Only problem I see is most(all) hardware RAID cards seem to top out at around 800MB/sec or so, limited by the controller chip. I haven't seen one deliver 2GB+/sec. It's been a while tho. Now Windows soft RAID, that can deliver. But soft raiding two hardware arrays is not a good plan for keeping...

I would imagine the fastest DIY option would be four of the Crucial C300's + RAID controller, which wouldn't compare speed wise.

SATA 6Gb/s would top out at 600MB/sec, which this seems to be able to far exceed. A RAID 10 of 4 100GB drives would be delivering 1.2-1.6 GByte/sec of storage. I wouldn't try and run a hospital on one, but it seems to be the state of the art in pure speed/IOPS.

http://we.pcinlife.com/thread-1520616-1-1.html From: http://fudzilla.com/graphics/item/20315-radeon-hd-6700-detailed-on-slides If that turns out to be authentic then we are looking at the 6770 slotting in at a performance level close to that of the 5870 (moved to a 256bit bus from the 128bit...

Thanks Coug. According to FahMon the GPUv2 with 384 points is giving an estimated 2336 PPD. The SMP client (dual core 6600 @ 2.4GHz) is forcasting 165 PPD. Hopefully the implementation of an OpenCL client for ATI/AMD will give us a big points bonanza (it's nice to hope) and fully utilise...

So with the gpu console client, I have been running the 6.23 on the 5770. Is the 6.30 client only for nvidia cards that can run the GPU3 client? Or should it also be used for ATI cards (bearing in mind the "-forcegpu ati_r700" should be changed to -forcegpu ati_r800 on 6.30)?

This is somewhat related to enterprise systems, for example IBM mainframes, which may ship with more processor books than originally leased. Then, if you need more MIPS for large batch jobs etc, you can pay for capacity on demand. For 5 or 6 figures depending on terms. It can either be a...

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/phenom-ii-x6-1075t-x4-970-x2-560.html Review of the latest cpus from AMD. This was an interesting graph:

My first thought was PMC-Sierra match ammunition: http://www.pmcammo.com/

Ontario/Zacate IGP 80SP Llano 320-480SP 4x or 5x more performance in the yet to be revealed higher consumption/performance Llano.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/3920/amd-benchmarks-zacate-apu-2x-faster-gpu-performance-than-core-i5 The new CPU/GPU integrated chip delivering substantially more then the Intel Core 5s, should deliver a big bump up in the netbook-$500 dollar market, coming Q4.

Pretty sure all STB DVRs encrypt the drive contents, so they are only readable by that one DVR. Content provider paranoia.

You know, we in the US are also subsidising the great unwashed in rural US areas. Look for it on your bill: "OKLAHOMA CITY --There are lots of fees and taxes on your phone bills, but, one in particular caught our eye. It's called the Federal Universal Service Fund. Billions go in and out of it...

Trying for 7.1 from a 5.1 source? Better buy some Lotto tickets, your luck can't hold out much longer :)

Look at the Opteron 6100 for the 4 socket space, no more 4S ass rape prices lke Intel deliver.

Isn't that on a 4G network/phone tho?

Whole house furnace would deliver more than 2KW of heat. Well at least the natural gas ones. Not sure how much an electric heatpump would consume (no use for us in the snow half the year), might be enough for CA.

As long as they remain quiet under load, I'm not too concerned.

So rumor is the successor to the 5770 will be launched first in October, using 256bit GDDR5, and will be slightly faster than a GTX460. 58xx series to be updated in November. Good news for us, bad news for nv. Only downside seems to be the 6770 may need two 6 pin power connectors attached...

So the Tesla electric cars can charge at upto 70A at 240V, off a 90A breaker. And it still takes 3.5 hours to fully charge. Hydrogen appears to be a better "battery" with fills in a few minutes.

http://www.crownaudio.com/amp_htm/ampinfo.htm#b02 You can see the issues that arise in the bigger amps, I can't figure out how they get UL listing if they can draw more than 20A at 110V, why it wouldn't be a 220V model.

Yeah, 15A or 20A circuit breakers, most power strips are limited to 12A or so once it's derated 20%. Plug in a portable electric heater and feel the cord get warm as it sucks 10A down, I'm always scared thevacuum cleaner cord is going to catch on fire. My place the furnace, drier and stove...

52" plasma for $500? Must be an old 720p model on clearance?

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/09/03/3002314.htm Looks like it's going to go Labor. LOL at Little Johnny Howard hyping up the left wing conspiracy. In the end a 10 billion dollar Liberal porkie pie sees them come undone.
