    Rudy Toody Passed 10 Million on Primegrid

    Yea!!! Rudy Toody passed 10,000,000 on Primegrid! He also helped me install Debian AMD 64 on one of my machines. It's a dual boot machine. The other OS is Windows XP Pro 32 bit, sp3. An NVidia GeForce 9800 GT is also on the machine, and it took a while but I figured out how to install the...

    EVGA e-GeForce 9800 GT

    Hi everybody! Rudy Toody blessed me with a GeForce 9800 GT. I want to put it in a box that has an AMD Phenom II X4 940. The OS is XP Pro - 32 bit. It is my understanding that I need a cuda library to allow me to use the video card as a cruncher. I've done some searching, and the...

    One of my computers is based on an AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition. The motherbosard is a Gigabyte MA790GP-DS4H. The OS is Windows XP Pro SP3. I participated in the Earth Day Primegrid race. Part way through the race we learned that none of the results from the work units run by the...

    Windows XP x64 Locks Up

    One of my computers (BigDog000) is dual boot: XP Pro (32 bit) and XP x64. I'm a "Distributed Computing" geek, and all my computers run 24/7 at 100%. I rarely use the 64 bit OS. I made the one machine dual boot just to see if I could and to learn a few things about 64 bit. Within the...

    Need help borging a machine!

    My ex and the kids were in need of a better machine, so I loaded up one of my FX-60 crunchers and gave it to them for Christmas. Now - I miss the stats, and I want to borg the machine. I get the concept. I install BOINC as a service and use BAM to access it. There are, however, things...

    Is this the right place to initiate a discussion about how slowly the comcast.net webpage loads?

    My ISP is Comcast. The associated webpage, comcast.net, seems to be getting more and more complicated. Sometimes it takes me 5 minutes or more to log-in to my comcast email. I also have gmail and yahoo! mail. The yahoo! and google sites are much more simple, and the pages load faster...

    AVG 8.0 and Internet Connectivity Problems

    I recently installed AVG 8.0 on one of my machines(the FX-60). I like to run BOINC pretty much 24/7. The machine runs pretty good, but I lose internet connectivity at night or perhaps early in the morning. Then, because BOINC can't find the internet, it locks up. The other machine (which is...

    What else can you do while BOINC is running

    Let me start this off by saying that I don't know what's happening to me. I have become both obsessed with stats, and with trying to do as much as I can while running BOINC (which tends to cause lower stats). Both my machines are running BOINC. One computer doubles as my television. I just...

    Many Thanks to Smoke and Rudy Toody

    Smoke read Rudy Toody's bio and was so impressed that he decided to send him a processor/mobo that wasn't being used. Rudy Toody told Smoke that he didn't have room for any more computers, and he also explained that I had lost a cruncher a few months back (the old AMD Athlon 2100+ based mobo...

    What's up with the My Anandtech Rig page??

    After I enter all the data for my system rig, clicking on the "submit" button generates an error, and the data is not uploaded. I've been trying to submit rig data for over a month. The last time that I tried was on 2/5/2007. When the error is generated, there is a note that says that a...

    I'm lost ... somewhere out there....

    Something is happening. I'm a noob, but I'm being sucked in. I sit up all hours of the night, watching my tasks, updating every chance I get. I pour over the stats. I'm about to experience a manic episode. I am losing hope. I am turning into uebergeek.... :confused:
