Maybe that'll force them to finally (dreaming here) start to sell AMD processors. Afterall, they must have a hard time to sell their higher-end gaming systems when most enthusiasts know* that Athlon 64 chips considerably outperform Intel's Pentium 4 CPUs in games. * AMD outsold Intel on...

If Hawkeye will really add 8 freaking 3.8GHz P4 to his lineup, he'll be heading for the top team spot. However, he could end up being a wet firework if he does a ddrueding-special (where are those 20+ folding systems?) ;-). I'm sorry Doug, I thought you had an X2 3800+, not a 3200+. My memory...

My scary 2.66GHz Pentium 4 against your Athlon XP 2200+ and a pair of 2GHz Athlon 64 cores. What a fight it will be... I wish Pradeep's delivery man would pass by my door too.

Funny I am. "Does it mean" is what my fingers were trying to type.

1. Who's Andy? Adcadet already has two accounts in our team. 2. Doug, does it mea I won't be able to take back my 11th spot? 3. Clown. You're giving yourself a lot of trouble. Don't risk your job for F@H.

Do you find it confortable? ;-)

That's what has always most pissed me off when I've tried any Linux distro. My logitech mices have never had functional fwd/back buttons. That's the most annoying missing feature of Linux.

Not sold by his authorized vendor. Insert 25¢ and try again.

Well, since I'm fit, people usually give me around 35, so I still have a slight chance to be asked for my papers if I ever go to these places. Regarding games, I would really like to see a modern version of the original X-Wing game (~1993). With updated 3D effects, it would be awesome. I'm...

According to this news at Ars Technica, IBM's BlueGene/L is capable of achieving 280.6TFLOPS, while the entire F@H contributors can only reach 178TFLOPS. The numbers of BlueGene/L are impressive. The supercomputer has 131072 processors. The whole F@H community has 186172 active CPUs. I'm...

I often asked to be carded, but everything I'm being answered that it won't be necessary. Is it a way to tell me that I'm looking old or something?

You were limited to 30MB/s last time. How much do you get now? I figure that "enough" will be your answer. So you didn't have to refund your company for the cost of the new server? Good.

I saw that yesterday. I'm curious to see if AMD will get better improvements with their 65nm process than Intel did with its own. It's sad that it will take more time to find out than originally expected.

Do you think you'll survive? Looks like gangrene. If you're lucky, maybe you'll just lose your foot. But don't waste time. Get a bottle of gin and a saw. If you're too soft to stand the rattle of the saw when it'll cut through your bone, get an axe.

What did you finally do to solve your networking / RAID controller transfer capping problem?

Many must know, but in reality and contrarily to what Digitime reported, Intel will be the one shipping 65nm processor this year and AMD only 6 months later. Being more interested by current AMD chip designs, I find this quite disappointing. I couldn't care less about any Intel CPU still using...

Pradeep, Groltz and Bozo are engaged in one Hell of a war for the 7th spot (soon for the 6th as Jake no longer participates). I'm ungry for pop corn every time I look at the stats.

There're well enough people who don't love me these days, I don't need any help from an evil client to add to that amount. Thanks anyway. I'm just a casual P2P user. I simply want something that works well without giving me a headache.

No, I must have missed that one. I'll try it anyway if I don't plan to touch the computer for the following few hours. I'm currently using the default BitTorrent client.

Thanks for the correction. One thing the A64 3000+ had that the Sempron 3300+/3400+ don't is four time the amount of L2 cache. And it generally overclocks better than the cache-crippled processors. The 3200+, because of its higher multiplier, is even better (the 3000+ is often memory...

What good modded client exits for eMule? I currently use the default client 0.46c build 2. I downloaded Bitcomet for BitTorrent files yesterday. I mainly use Torrent to download Linux distro iso. eMule is for music that I either want to try (if I like it, I buy the CD) and old movies (+3...

I heard the name LimeWire before, but only a few moments ago did I learn that it is a P2P file sharing software (I went to download.com in search of an old game). Morpheus 5.0 is also listed among the most popular downloads and the reviewer wrote that it protects privacy and is free from any...

And this one is even better : http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_nf4_winxp32_amd_6.70.html :mrgrn:

I think only 16 pipelines are enabled on currently shipping X1800 ATI cards, not 32. nVidia's 7800GTX has 24 pipelines.

Forget hyperthreading, I've just find out that my Pentium 4 505 doesn't support it. I've set my client as a service and I'm curently crunching a QMD unit. We'll see the results. The only flag set in the registry is -svcstart. I've rebooted my system a few times since yesterday and every...

I'm so sad when I read this ;-) http://www.digitimes.com/mobos/a20051024PR206.html The most notable drops occur in the Turion family (low-power mobile CPUs). The dual core Athlon X2 models also become a bit cheaper, so that doesn't hurt.

I don't feel I give much to this site anymore. I let you down with the news posting on the front page a while ago and I don't invest a lot of time like I used to to find interesting or helpful stuff for others. And this isn't your fault at all, I've simply haven't been in internet-mood for...

According to benchmarks I've seen, the new 1800XT matches the 7800GTX, but since it generates more heat and needs a dual-slot cooling solution, I agree that it, in a way, is a less desirable card than the 6 months old 7800GTX from nVidia. The 1800XL seems to be inferior to the 7800GT in all...

The only serie I follow is Stargate SG-1. I don't watch all the episodes, but I see one at least once a week.

Thanks. I figured that it was still floating around but this afternoon, I wasn't in the mood to look for it.

Shouldn't it be gastric acid? I've never heard about castric acid. If it isn't a typo, what part of our body stocks castric acid?

Unfortunately, FireDaemon is no longer free. 35$ per computer isn't worth it for me at present.

I use the graphical client. I see no option to edit the parameters within it. When my current unit finishes, I'll switch to the console client (which I used before) and see if your parameters can change something to my stats.

My Pentium 4 2.66GHz produces between 450 and 600 points per week and it's folding around 18 hours a day. I figured that a 3GHz Pentium 4 would give us around 600 points per week on average. Team Latvia adds 86000 points per week, compared to 42000 for us. 86K - 42K = 44K points per week for...

Make that 70 3GHz Pentium 4. I somehow hit the wrong button on my calculator when I advanced the previous number.

That's not what will cause our fall. We would need around 20 more 3GHz Pentium 4 just to keep team Latvia's pace and delay our fall from the top 100. Don't feel guilty about it. You still out-produce me by quite a margin.

This is our last day, ever, in the top 100 F@H teams.

Read the full press release. Download it.

Why do you think they scrutinize data from Greenpeace if it's not to pass it to oil companies (and other polluting companies)? Who has interest to spy organisms like United for Peace and Justice, other than perhaps guns manufacturers and the like? If this isn't spying for private gain, I don't...

This is the kind of news that gives me the temptation to hunt an FBI agent and beat him until his skull opens. Just temptation, I don't plan to waste my time to actually do it. Clearly, this data isn't used to protect the safety of ordinary citizen but the interest of powerful lobbies backing...

Just pet your girlfriend of the week, will do the same. My sympathies CityK. I didn't know vets could be that rough on cat's nervous system.

I now prefer USB memory sticks rather than floppies. Some are bootable too.

I own a LG GSA-4163B and I have no complain about it. Same goes for a NEC ND-3500A. My LG drive came with Nero Express. I don't remember about the NEC. Both manufacturers now offer updated models of the two I own.

Especially now that Dell has raised the price of its lower-end Dimension box like the 2400 and 3000. Now it's possible to beat them on every price point, something that wasn't true six months ago (in North America at least).

Apparently, that was bullshit. We'll see who's right when the volcano triggers another landslide.

Not the release candidate, the official 5.10 is out. I tried Ubuntu once and I thought it had a clean layout. I'm no Linux expert, but Ubuntu seems to gather quite a lot of attention among the community. Ubuntu 5.10 info.

I went to Judas Priest's show this evening. I'll be partially deaf for a few days. The drum and bass were so loud that they buried almost completely the lead guitars. I had a hard time to follow, even the songs I know very well.

How many times has this drive been launched? How many more will it be?

I just want to let Mercutio know that I've seen Serenity and it wasn't the complete lemon I thought it would be. It won't make it to my memorable movies list, but I don't regret the price of the ticket.

Upon verification, I don't see any link to Opteron products from their main portal (www.supermicro.com). For Opteron products, you have to go to www.supermicro.com/aplus . That's cheap.
