    New to the router world, some security questions...

    So, just got my router up and running and have 2 desktops connected to the web thru it (netgear RP614v3). I play WoW and opened up the ports (port forwarding) for the Updater...does that compromise my security? Also, all I did, essentially, is change the password to my router...what other...

    Overclocking FX-55

    I was a bit upset yesterday..... I received my shipment from newegg. I ordered an asus extreme 6800GT card. I got the box. I already had one and this was the second for my SLI setup. I looked at the card and it looked drastically different. I tried to set it up in SLI and didn't work...

    Overclocking FX-55

    Well... I wanted to use 2 drives in mirror to install the OS and Apps on... I was thinking of setting up a raid 5 set across 3 or 4 drives to install my games on, store my pics, mp3s, file downloads, etc.. So, that's a range of 900GB-1,200GB usable disk space whether or not I use a 3 or 4...

    Overclocking FX-55

    What about the xp-90? I've read about the 120 and it's a tight fit and I don't feel too comfortable about that. I already have 2 of those drives you're talking about. I want another 4.

    Overclocking FX-55

    I'm not quite done with it. After I finish sleeving the power cables with UV sleeving, I will look for some UV lighting.. I do want to pick up 4 more 300GB hard drives. As to why OC it? Why not? I'm only looking for some modest gains, and not the most possible. Oh, I'll be posting some...

    Overclocking FX-55

    I'm using Enermax's Noisetake 600w Power Supply.. I've been running the cpuz program and what I'm setting in the bios for cpu voltage and what I'm seeing in the program are different. Particularly the program is display a lower voltage than what's set in the bios. So, what should I be using...

    Overclocking FX-55

    I have the FX-55.. How high a voltage should I safely go? I've been watching the temps. Also, the voltage I'm setting in the bios is different that what's showing up in CPUz.. I've already found out how high my HTT can go. I'm currently trying to figure out out how high the proc can go...

    I've taken some pictures of the components already. I haven't taken any with it in the case yet.. I'll be taking some more after I do the sleeving. I'll need to post these after I'm finished.. Right now my computer room is a big mess with boxes and trash all over... I need to throw some of...

    Best bang for buck on computer farm

    Sad thing is I really am not.. I heard there was this company which was hosting servers there for businesses and charging them a monthly fee to have it there... And the reason why they choose Alaska was for the savings in the cooling.

    Some seti times for my new P4 3ghz @ 3.4ghz w/ 2 megs cache

    I'm not sure yet... I'm whatchin smoke's seti page and saw my score bump up pretty fast.. I'm already at 20 for today and I'm usally do about 15-16/day depending on if I game or not, which sometimes drop to 14 (On the weekends :P).

    Some seti times for my new P4 3ghz @ 3.4ghz w/ 2 megs cache

    I'm not too sure.... I started running seti last night to do a base test. Everything is at base settings. I started at 10pm and when I check things at 6:30, at the rate it's going, it's going to best my P4 3Ghz with HT on and only 1 wu is being processed at a time. I still need to install...

    You don't live in Alaska do you?? There are some datacenters that move up there just to save on cooling costs.... Imagine in the winter, you pratically don't need to cool.....

    Some seti times for my new P4 3ghz @ 3.4ghz w/ 2 megs cache

    I think we should be bragging on how much we can push/day... Hehehe... I am in the middle of a new build, AMD FX-55 ,OCZ VX memory 2-2-2-8 at PC4000, and dfi's sli-dr board..... I'll be cranking this thing up.. Beers all around!!!!

    Some seti times for my new P4 3ghz @ 3.4ghz w/ 2 megs cache

    You can do that, but really, that's assuming you're doing it one at a time... I used to run this on a few quad P4 servers and each server was pushing about 64 WU a day. Does that mean each only took 22.5 minutes to crunch?? I really don't want to get into a big discussion about all of this...

    I'm pleased to announce that I got my system running without incident!! I have the sli-dr board running with an FX-55 proc. The bios which came on the board wouldn't let me adjust the memory voltage.. It was one from January... After updating it with the latest, I can now change it. I got...

    Some seti times for my new P4 3ghz @ 3.4ghz w/ 2 megs cache

    Even though you're doing 2 wu in 2:26, just diving by 2 doesn't mean that's how long 1 takes. I have a P4 3.06Ghz and I have HyperThreading turned on and I am processing 2 at a time. Try running 1 wu and you'll get a faster computing time that 2:26, but more that 1:13. With HT on, you are...

    That will be the raw capacity. 2x300GB drives in a mirror. The other 4 in Raid 5. 1.2TB usable with redundancy. I figured, what the hell... I ran a quick test in seti and I'm getting time under 2hrs per wu.. I let it run today while I'm at work. I have not run setispy yet to see what I'm...

    I'll be building my new computer when I get home after work today.. I was just wondering how the FX-55 proc performs in DC. I have seti currently running on my Pentium 4 3Ghz and get about 14-15 work units a day... I will want to perform some dc tests and see how this thing runs...

    Reason being, I'm currently specing out my new computer and I'm already passed the $4,500 mark... I wanted to pick up a second LCD monitor, a 21" to go with the 19" I have already... I wanted to have both hooked up, but have the video cards working in SLI.. I also wanted to do raid.. Raid 1...

    *** Official ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe (nForce4) Thread ***

    Has anyone tested if this board supports dual monitor in a sli setup? Also, has anyone tested the Raid functionality? In particular raid 1 and raid 5? Does this tax the system, or does this primarily use the raid chip?

    Seti Race Stats and Milestones for 06/28

    Thanks for the stats.... The only reason I have those huge dumps is because I have to sneaker net these wu over and dump them. I won't be able to continue this much longer. I'm bringing up 2 sites with several servers and I'm um... burning in the procs until we're ready to use them to...

    Sun UltraSparc performance

    Does anyone know what kind of performance you would get on 1.2Ghz Sun UltraSparc3 Processors? We're preparing to put in an order for about 700K of Sun Servers and I would LOVE to hmmm "test" the servers using Seti and "sneakernet" the results over. Is there any documented procedures for this?
