I'm back! I went to th cabin over M-Day but could not get in. There are still snow drifts higher than the the hood on my F-250 4X4. Came home and promptly came down with something that kicked the crap (pun intended) out of my gastrointestinal system. It took the legs out from under me for a couple of days.  NEWS GPUGRID Congrat's to Chris who reached 1 million credits; Blizzie who is just shy of 2 million and Jonathan who is just shy of 1.5 million. I reached 4 million. YOYO Lots of new badges.  Chris sneaked in and is laying down the credits.MilkyWay@GPU They are getting closer. CUDA Update -- Working Compile Script May 22, 2009 I've updated v0.04 to the code release directory. This should work correctly with the compile script. The next steps on our to-do list are getting checkpointing working correctly for it (i'm pretty sure its not working), and compile time specified single or double floating point precision. In the next couple days I should get the milkyway_gpu forums up and running and some test work units available.  Thanks, DM. I noticed a few of those lattice wu's came in on my weather station. I forgot I added them to the list of projects.

Anyone notice that we are at 207 in Bionic, now?
----------------------------------------http://boincstats.com/stats/boinc_team_stats.php?pr=bo&st=200#207 It looks like we might be out of the 200's pretty soon, too!

Hmmm.... A GTX 285 for $299 after rebate, and there's free shipping!

I forgot I added them to the list of projects. Cool. I didn't know they were active again. I'll check out their form. They may be the next GPU opportunity. EDIT: No work and no GPU. The last (unsuccessful) GPU attempt was in March. It's a lot harder to bring up a GPU app than many of the small projects think it is.

If you mean two i7 processors on one board - no. The i7 does not support two sockets (i.e. two i7 chips in the same system). You need to look at Xeon chips if that's what you are looking for. The Xeon 5500 series are the same generation / equivalent technology to the i7, IIRC. In my experience, Xeon processors and motherboards and the systems they go into are not worth the extra cost in most cases. - D |

Mike, Not sure if the link will work, but here ya go: http://www.dell.com/content/products/productd...;cs=19&l=en&s=dhs It's a Dell Studio XPS Desktop for $799. The only downfall I can see is that it comes with an ATI card, and no option for an nVidia. If you wanted to do GPUGRID, you would still have to buy a video card... Plus, I haven't tried WCG or GPUGRID on 64 bit Vista, yet, so I don't how that works. Overall, though, a fairly decent computer for not a bad price.

If you are thinking of 8-core crunching it is done on the i7 by hyperthreading a quad. IMHO, hyperthreading sucked and I, for one, did not like seeing it re-emerge. But opinions vary.  |

LOL Sometimes he doesn't know what he wants.. lol thanks for the links, and some advice.. basically I can't find a computer already built that I like.. and I don't know enough about customizing one on a website to do justice.. don't want to build something I can't use..
