Should know that I wonder if you are you making an attempt at the immortal line?

its a braw bricht moonlit nicht the nicht

Are none of our more common phrases free from such internet ridicule?

s/k that i sincerly apologise for any slur i may have made upon the Scottish character with my feeble attempt to phrase the imortal line . i tender in my defence the fact that it is now currently 0100hours in the antipodes. i tender that my recall as well as my spelling both suffer from acute sleep deprivation.
so i pleed guilty and suggest a sentance of at least 6 hours sleep.
case complete m'lord
take him down balif

To note: This is a multi-purpose unit, and I'm into competitive F@H, so the Quad makes a lot of sense, as does a 64-bit OS for anybody with a 64-bit CPU, and no software dependencies for 32-bit. Also, keep in mind the 8800GT tends to benchmark favorably vs. the 9800 GT series, but there is great variability by manufacturer, RAM size and type and model. The 9800 GTX+, though, returns some really great numbers, so I'd say your system is going to be better for gaming. However, I'm not at home this week, so my newly-built system is doing nothing but folding this week. I'll get Quake4 and Orange Box installed Friday when I get home again. I'm not sure if I will buy a second similar card or upgrade to the 9800 GX2 (dual GPU card), which can be SLI'd to achieve a quad GPU SLI. Aw hell, I just checked Tigerdirect and they have the GX2 for $300 AR. :drool:

This is a "bridge" system, to get me out of the dark ages and back into something that will serve as a decent GP and game machine, until the next generation of CPU architecture, Intel's Core i7, which is basically Core2 with hyperthreading. I'll pull the trigger when I can get a Corei7 Quad at 32nm. When I build the Beast system, this one will be my guest/Media system.

Folding, I was getting about 10% per hour on two of the cores, and a little slower on the other two. That's not a particularly good way to gauge processing power, as individual Work Units will have different levels of complexity and therefore will process at different speeds compared with other WUs. I downloaded the GPU2 core, but didn't get it working; I will have to spend some time with that so I can use the video card to fold as well. Also, I am not using the SMP client, but running four instances of the standard single-CPU client. Once I get the SMP client running, my rate should improve.

At 100% CPU usage, the cores heat up to max. 58C, with a ceiling of 100C and an idle just at about 37C for this particular CPU. I'm looking forward to OC'ing this a little, to see how many stable GHz I can get. I have a decent heatsink, a nifty thing made by Masscool, with a fan internal to a heatsink block, blowing air parallel to the mobo, so I maintain uninterrupted front-back airflow.

S/K - That's a lot of detail.

Should know that this is what happens to innocent people when faced with Aussies and their uncontrollable pets.

Should know he was from scotttties land and obviously couldn't contain himself.

Just the 4 today?

Should know that he is a traitor to his race if he was partaking of any form of exercise other than bar propping. Running is strictly taboo, which is also a drink of course. How did I know that?

Should know that Fangy is missing today. Could he possibly have fallen victim to this viscous Aussie chugwuggler, sorry kangaroo?

Should Know, I do believe a viscous Aussie chugwuggler would refer to an unpasteurized Foster's left over the summer in one's automobile trunk (boot).
