[OT] Mark, I just built a new crunching machine with an AMD 610e chip. What do you get for BOINC benchmarks on yours? I don't think mine is running quite as fast as it should, although it's certainly cranking out those WUs while running very cool and low-power as hoped.[/OT] kateiacy, I spent the last few days dealing with new/defective Corsair DDR3 memory on 2 new motherboard setups. Now that things seem to be running correctly with Patriot memory on both ASUS motherboards, I get the following results: AMD 610e 2402 MIPS Whetstone 5172 MIPS Dhrystone per each of the 4 CPU's in the chip As far as power efficiency- 62 watts at idle (cool&quiet not installed yet) 98 watts at 100% load crunching on all 4 processors How does that compare with what you are seeing? Here are my benchmarks: Fri 14 Jan 2011 08:56:34 PM CST Benchmark results: Fri 14 Jan 2011 08:56:34 PM CST Number of CPUs: 4 Fri 14 Jan 2011 08:56:34 PM CST 1999 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU Fri 14 Jan 2011 08:56:34 PM CST 12145 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU Odd that my floating point MIPS are so much lower than yours, but the integer MIPS more than twice as large as yours.  Maybe your Dhrystones were actually 15172?My watts-at-the-wall are right at 100 or 101 with all 4 cores crunching full tilt but the GPU idle, and up to about 121 with the GPU crunching Milky Way in addition. I went into the BIOS this evening and set the memory speed up to 1333 from 1066. That made no difference in my benchmarks. I'd expected it to increase them. Anyway, I still have more work to do if my machine is crunching at only 80% capacity.  |

It varies by state tax credits and power company rebate levels. Also the price of panels is slowly going down every 6 months use the interactive PV constructor page at www.LIPower.org as of 9 months ago $52k total cost at $6.3 per watt $12k after power company rebate, state and local tax credits. ~6 year payback Thanks for all the info. Very interesting indeed. Clearly yo get a lot of incentives to build such an installation. Here in Switzerland unfortunately we lack completely of support to build solar based installations for the private consumer. You have to bear the full price and the utilities buy-back price is economically totally uninteresting. Electrical utilities in Switzerland have very fat margins as the production is hydraulic and nuclear. These two energies have very low production costs as the production facilities were amortized since long time. Customers becoming producers is their nightmare, and unfortunately the federal governement is in the hands of the energy lobbyists. Renewables like wind and sun are a joke in this country. What saves Switzerland regarding CO2 emissions and renewables is the fact that hydraulic energy and nuclear (together they represent 95% or more of the total production) have nearly zero CO2 emission levels and that water can be considered renewable.  |

On another topic, how do you insert graphics/photos in your reply?
