I second that!

I just got roped into a "race" to 250K points and have the worst production of everyone in it......
If you want to try DC for a little while, it is a great stability tester... as good as Prime95 to find instabilities, but doesn't beat the crap out of your system.

We could team up and be the envy of the wannabees (right now I'm too slow to even be a wannabee! )

-Sid

edit: er.... forgot to mention it is Folding@Home that I crunch....... we've had lots of new interest lately..... the joint's jumpin' :beer: and babes for one and all !!!

DC is Distributed Computing, to learn more about Folding@Home click the link in my signature.

 

[Insidious]

DC is Distributed Computing.

Several different projects exist. Each of them is designed to use thousands of personal computers to process "small" portions of a solution to a problem.... creating "super-computers" comprised of people like you and I volunteering our "free cycles".

"free cycles" are software cycles your computer performs that do nothing more than wait for something to do. If you use the task manager, you will see that most of the time your computer is 99% Idle. the DC applications recognize this and process their work when nothing else is being done. These 'clients' stop functioning (but still will keep their RAM comitted) when you are doing anything else with your computer so there is no need to turn them off when you work, game, surf, etc.

Different projects use different amount of resouces and some are more 'friendly' to the background than others.

Folding@Home is a project that works to help define the formation of protiens with the goals of helping to predict "stuff" about disease behavior, medical research to combat them, as well as lots of other stuff I don't understand. I like the idea of helping science in this way (which costs me nothing) plus it is fun to "hang out" with all the other DC folks here at Anandtech.

ahh i see now.

 

[imported_Poozler]

im all signed up, i see a big model on my screen, looks like bubbles.

 

[D1gger]

I have the FX-53 (939pin) and love it.

Use it mostly for gaming, but told the wife I needed the faster system to manage our photo's.

 

[fstime]

My 3400+ clawhammer is 1 fps behind a fx-51 according to anandtechs review. Do I count as a fx user

OK, did you make sure to join team 198 ? Please reconfigure if you didn;t. I am in the race to 250k, but I don;t know if they want me in the race....

These "races" are for fun so you are required to have some.

"My 3400+ clawhammer is 1 fps behind a fx-51 according to anandtechs review. Do I count as a fx user "


Same speed(2.2 Ghz), same cache (1 Meg), just lack dual channel and not being locked. So erm, maybe "wink"
