    Well in fact, they have...but only in case of the dual core. See Will Rickards ; AFAIK, he only has a dual core Athlon X2 3800+. Back when I had my single core P4 2.66GHz, he out-produced me. I did around 360 points per day while he did around 430 points. Maybe if my P4 used an 800MHz FSB...

    Have you ever seen snow? I heard about a few snowfall in Australia these past years, but it seems so rare in your country that every time you receive a few flakes, people die (must be the psychological shock).

    Thanks for the explanation Mark. Doug, I was destroying you with a single P4 2.66GHz up to maybe saturday. I know that the first time I got in front of you, it was solely with my P4. Then I added a Duron 1.6GHz that has sent two units since yesterday. I talked about it in the Resurrecting...

    Resurrecting the deads.

    Ok, so I re-flashed the BIOS (now version 1.07), installed an OS and configured everything (add a Duron 1.6GHz to my folding farm). Then I tested the PC2100 module using Memtest 86 v3.2. It had a bandwidth of 585MB/s according to Memtest. I let it run for two hours. After that, I came back...

    Have you shut down all your computers? You haven't sent any unit for more than two days. This, combined to a lesser extend (;-) )with Pradeep's production attrition, has seriously eroded our team's capacity.

    Does anyone know about an enclosure in which you could fit the Seasonic SS-300SFD 80 Plus? It seems to be a lot smaller than the usual ATX form factor. I think that form factor is called SFX.
