I'm quite disappointed really, with the folding performance of the ATI client. On paper, the HD4870 is better than the GTX260, but the client lets it down. For shame, Stanford. When will they ever catch up with the clients?
-
I seem to have it sorted now, mostly. I had to adjust the colours slightly under Catalyst. My old Samsung 204B, which is gone now, was still better.
EDIT: After much swearing, I have finally managed to get this monitor looking decent. The menu system is a bit confusing, it was difficult to set the colour to sRGB.
-
I just got this ASUS monitor today, for whatever reason the colours are very washed out. I've tried adjusting some settings, but it seems most of them are locked out. Does anyone on here know what's going on, how to adjust the colours on these?
-
Good job, working your way up the list.
-
I keep filters on the intake fans. Even so, I take the whole thing down and clean it with compressed air two or three times a year. Remember to clean those filters every week or so.

You can easily run that system using the Enermax. Take it easy on the overclocking, if you plan to add another videocard. I've been using the older sibling of that PSU (Enermax Liberty 500w) for going on four years, it's a tough one.

Mixing RAM never goes well, in most cases it doesn't work at all. Each stick has different specs it will run at, you can't mix the specs. The only way you can mix RAM is if the latency, voltage and speed are the same. Your case, where the latency and possibly the voltage don't match, will not work.
-
Since they all do the same, just go for the cheapest one. Reference coolers are fine, even to overclock a bit. Giant coolers are mostly a gimmick to inflate the price.
-
Similar to what I do. I use an air purifier with three-stage filtration, it has a charcoal prefilter. Once the pre-filter is used up, I can wash it and use for intake filters. Lasts for ages and it has great airflow.

But its different when the technology already exists and apple purposely doesn't put it into there products because they want you to buy there next model. I understand that it's a good way to make people buy the new model when it comes out but apples the only one who benefits and customer meaning us is forced into buying a new one even though all those features should have been included in the initial release of the product.
I mean things like allowing multitasking, a built in camera, USB ports, SD card reader, a gps that isn't wifi or cell phone tower based, HDMI port or some type of video out port, flash support all are not new technologies and could have been installed on the initial release of the Ipad.
I very much doubt the people buying an iPad, will complain about it not having all those ports. Apple is all about simplicity. If you don't need it or it clutters the design, Apple doesn't put it there. Flash sucks anyway, it's a security risk.

I've had the E8500 just over a year. For me, it seems to be aging very well, no need to upgrade soon.
-
I have an Asus A8R32-DLX. AMD chipset, but it's really very fast and stable.
-
I have no intention of stopping completely.
After a few weeks, we will start using the central A/C and I'll ramp up my production again. -
The problem isn't cooling the room, I have a 13,000 BTU A/C in here which cools very quickly. I just don't want to be running it 24/7 because it's expensive to do so. I may still fire up the GPU client once in a while, though.
-
Now that it's getting warmer, it's time for me to stop folding for a while. In the past days, it's gotten to over 80f in my bedroom, thanks to the PC and PS3 working away. Depending on the local weather, I may start folding again. At this point, looking like at least two or three weeks off.
I can use my room A/C to cool things down a bit, though I dislike having the temperature sky rocket back up again.
-
As I already own an iPod touch (brilliant device), having a bigger version of the same thing is pointless to me.
-
With a C2D and ATI card, you get about 1/4th what the CPU is capable of running SMP. Running the GPU and non-SMP clients proved to be the best option for me. The longer you run the non-SMP client, you start getting better WUs.
-
Good choice. I've stuck with Netgear for several years now, never missed a beat.
-
The name amuses me, it sounds like a sanitary product.
-
I doubt you'll notice a difference with the soundcard on the Logitech set. With your headphones, if the onboard sound is not driving them properly or it just doesn't sound quite good enough, the sound card will help there.
If your bias is more towards headphones, absolutely get a soundcard.

If you're worried about switching to a BD-ROM burner/writer, it's not quite there yet. Those are still a luxury. The market moves slowly, so I'd give it two or three years before you really need a BD drive.
-
I'm thinking 70's Pontiac or Oldsmobile with those broad shoulders. Reminds me of a Grand Prix almost, but on 60%.
-
I've been folding consistently this whole time. Only time it's down is for maintenance and updates.

In my ideal world, you would have to become certified to buy a gun. Specific tests would be need to be taken, depending on the type of gun, pistol, rifle, assault rifle, etc.
Q9550 worth it?
in Processors, Motherboards and Memory

I've had this system for two years now, still pretty happy with it. Only thing I can think of, is to go to quad-core with a Q9550 or similar. Being the old architecture, is it worth it? I'm not interested in upgrading the RAM and motherboard at this point.
How would the Q9550 get along with my Asus P5Q-D? Will my Thermalright Ultima-90 still be enough?
