Re: Dip in my RAC this week
Holy smokes Dr.Pop!! You are really on the move!!
I have been curious about those AMD X6....You gonna give some pointers, when up and running??
Anyway....We will try to pump as many CS as possible....(as always)
Re: Dip in my RAC this week
Well, I just bought a 5970 which might help a tad... (Thanks for the code, DrPop)

Basiclly how they run...Hot/cold? Do they only run on DDR3 boards? I only got DDR2, so I need to know how much to set aside....
Which project are you working with that beast?

Well, at 100% load right now running primaBOINCa, it's running at 34C. I'm running this one at stock right now. I've run quite a few projects, and never run into a heat issue. It's an AM3 socket CPU, but it should run DDR2, if I'm reading the specs correctly (I have DDR3 installed in this machine).
I like it quite a bit. Feeds the GPUs well, runs some projects better than others, but works well running a work/crunching machine. No regrets with the purchase so far...
Re: Dip in my RAC this week
Holy smokes! You pulled the trigger on the 5970! Sweeeeeeeet. :D
@Beer - they will run both DDR2 and DDR3, as they have both controllers built in. I was talking with some big BOINC dudes on Anandtech's forums and they said in heavily threaded apps the X6 easily keeps up with most i7 rigs for points / day.
Honestly, it probably won't be a huge upgrade points wise from that Core2 Extreme I was running, because that thing was fast - I had it O/Ced where it was close to an i7 950 in power.
Thing is, I can't get the motherboard that I want in the socket 775...so...sheesh. I get to give the state of California another $50 tax just on my horse-trading to get what I need. Ugh! :p

A single dip is okay Drpop, just don't double dip :D

Oh, man...Thatīs just what I wanted to hear..Thatīs sweet music to my ears! :p I figured that if I could go upgrade on DDR2 that would be more "doable" on a limited budget...I really like this small AMD cruncher I got here...Migth as well go that route again since I am so happy about it. And you know....Budget usually equals AMD...=D>
I will see what I can do...Not gonna happen this side of X-mas anyway...But I keep my hopes up!
