Free hardware (except shipping)

I have 2 470 nvidia cards. If you send me a box with some packaging, and some cash to cover shipping (put it in the box ??). Hopefully these will be used in DC. Are they too old to be useful ?

Anyway, if interested, reply here, but PM me for details.

I just sent a PM 🙂

That's very kind of you Mark. The 470 is 1/4 as powerful as a 980, but the double precision is actually nearly equal. I'd say it's quite useful still, but at 215watts TDP, a bit inefficient.

Yes inefficient but that is what Australia does.
(I mean deploying VDSL instead of Fibre directly to the house)

OK, all kiska was the only one who responded, so they are getting shipped to Austrailia !

1. kiska, Please tell me what they end up crunching.

They will probably be crunching SETI, knowing that I will help app development, otherwise they are going towards folding@home

Good to hear Kiska. 🙂

Hey Mark!
I got your cards today, they just came in the post. Now I need to find a motherboard that can take 2 cards. I have a box full of Core 2 Duo, I just don't have a motherboard, time to look for LGA 775 motherboards!
