    AMD and nVidia Graphics cards

    Hi All, Looks like my PSU has blown and my motherboard has got stuck (i7 - 1366). It is not a dead BIOS, but more like a stuck BIOS. Freezes when it is 'Initializing._' the INTEL HDD adapter BIOS. Anyway, was looking at a replacement MB. My current one is rather nice as it has a space...

    2 Science Fiction books - titles unknown.

    Hi all, Been trying to search for the names of 2 science fiction books I read at the end of 1989 or 1990. I have always wanted to re-read the stories but the books were on loan from a fellow worker. The one was about this guy that wakes up and finds that he has suffered severe head trauma...

    AQUA@Home

    Hi all, Aqua seems to run out of work every now and then. They did so earlier in the week. On their site they show Cuda and non-cuda WU availability. There seems to be CPU stuff available, but I am not getting any. Not sure if the numbers on the site are swapped or my preference settings are...

    AQUA@Home

    Aqua is really p'ing me off. :| The new (recent) WU's have been increadibly long > 100 hours on an i7, unstable and now the CUDA ones are also causing problems. I lost 8 WU's on Friday which had about 50+ hours. Now I just lost 4 CUDA wu's with about 35 hours. I cannot figure out the...

    Getting GPUGRID to work on 4 GPU's

    Hi all, Please give me some idea of how to get GPUGRID to work on all 4 GPU's. I have 2 GTX 295 cards in my machine and the only way I can get more than 1 WU running is to switch off SLI. Then I get 2 running. I was expecting 4 to run and I did have 2 running with only one card installed...

    RAID-0 and partition location

    Hi all, I read an article a little while back trying to see if a RAID setup could manage to reach the speed of SSD's in a price comparison way. SSD's are very expensive, but fast, so the idea was to buy lots of HDD's and RAID them, then only use the outer portion of the drive as the RAID...

    AMD 939

    Hi, Looks like I can get hold of an AMD FX-60 chip. According to the AMD website, it runs at 2600MHz (I am assuming 200* 13) compared to my 2400MHz. I can also overclock mine to 2736MHz (228 * 12). The L2 cache is 512, mine is 1024. The FX runs about 8.33% faster than mine at stock. Would...

    GTX 295

    Hi guys, Had a search of the forum, but could not find anything, so asking... What is the maximum overclock of the GTX 295? My supplier said that it would not be much and all the card I have see from the various manufacturers all have the very same settings: Core: 576 Shader: 1242...

    GTX 295

    Hi all, Just got my GTX 295 - :D Just out of interest, which card is GPU1 and which is GPU 2? The temperatures are obviously slightly different GPU 1 < GPU 2. I am assuming GPU 2 is the top one - ie the one on the slot card. Any ideas?

    nVidia GTX295

    Hi guys, I am considering purchasing said graphics card for my main machine. It is an AMD X2 4800+ OC'ed slightly (2400 to 2735). It is probably underpowered for the card, but the reason for the nvidia card is so that I can run the GPU stuff - CUDA. My board is an old PCIe 1.0. Will there...

    ION platform

    Hi all, Just saw this review (ION). Quite facinating. Imagine a whole stack of these running Linux, maybe folding, dual core??? Man, a little rack of these would be a sweet little machine. May not be that powerful, but I am sure the low power would make it viable.

    CPU clock speeds - in general

    Why is it that since the P4, CPU speeds (appart from OC) have all hovered around 3GHz. Sure, the performance has gone thru the roof, but not the speeds. Has it not been necessary? Not possible for some physical reason for main stream - remember reading something like that once. Any comments?

    Cell processor

    Hi all, Saw this article link and was windering how it may work with the PS3 folding software? Any ideas? Being a PCIe card (and a one lane) it may be an idea to put a few into a machine. all depends on software support I suppose.

    Excel simulation

    Hi all, This has been bugging me for a long time. I love Excel, so want to try this there if possible. If you look at water flowing across an area of loose gravel (say in your garden, or a stream across sea sand, or, on a large scale, how a delta forms) you see these grains of sand move...
