I like to think so; never knew though.

BlackOmega: If you wish to do CPU or SMP folding on a rig, Linux is the way to go. If you want a GPU folder, you definitely want it running Windows.

Well I'd just like to check it out and learn how to use it. I've heard so much about linux and ubuntu, some people love it, some hate it. I'd like to think that if I learn how to use it, it'll make me a better techie

ANd it wouldn't be for a folding rig, simply because running a rig to get a measly 200 PPD out of a 3500+ just wouldn't be worth it IMO. It'd be more to learn how to use ubuntu. Aside from that it would have 2 6800 on it, so its not like they can fold anyway. And even if the could Im sure they wouldnt do much better than the 3500+.

Thanks I'm actually using the Parted magic ATM and typing this form the LiveCD. this is pretty cool. BTW the Parted magic has the Gparted app built in along w/firefox and some other cool features. I think I just stumbled onto one of those great apps that we may want to post in the free apps section of OCN. I'm gonna try to see if I can figure out the Gparted software that is built into this Pated Magic. Besides the F drive is full as well so I have no more room for windows 98. besides this new system does not like windows 98. So I'm gonna go back to the other window now I will keep you all posted. typing this in firefox w/out xp

Edit: Update, I have just cleared the 74 gig raptor and then copied and pasted all 3 partitions from the 36 gig raptor over to the 74 gig raptor. Gparted finished the first copy and paste fairly quick being as it only has a bout 200 MB of data on it. when I left the tool to go back here it was in the process of copying the second partition over from 36 to 74 and I am able to still use web browsing. How cool is that. Ha ha this is friging awesome...

BlackOmega: If not for Linux's lack of DX/OpenGL support for gaming, Windows would be in serious trouble. Internet browsing is more secure (given the very high bar a virus would need to jump through), it is infinitely customizable, its free, and it is faster than Windows for most applications. The biggest issues holding me back from switching to Linux full time are, as I said, the inability to play modern games and the ease in screwwing it up. I have that dangerous stage of knowledge where I know enough to start tinkering in places I should not be but not really enough to undo what I did while tinkering. If I knew more, I would not break it. If I knew less, I would not touch it.

Tell me about it how shweet it is. well I just had a case of almost :turd: ing my pants. I copied all 3 at the same time. and when I was done surfing w/firefox I switched back to the Gparted window "BTW this Parted magic has 4 windows of taskes that you can do from the mouse controlled window off the LiveCD" Now where was I, oh yeah I had a msg that part 2 of three had an error. To make a long story shot I thought I wiped out my primary bood disk becuase when I tried to load os from 74 gig it said no os. So when I tried the 36 gig I got the same msg. So w/out paniking I del into bios and changed the HDD boot priority and xp did a hdd scan and then booted into windows. Swew wipes forehead. I will try it one more time to see if I can get it right on the 74 gig. BTW I don't know why but this pc I'm on now "BNBB" loads OCN pages so darn slow. ARG like pancake syrup running down a tree. but it surfs the web and other internet sights just fine. Hmm don't know why that is...

Blitz, good question. I have all my important data stored on other drives. I have a few brand new 750GB AAKS drives that I might be using for storage soon as well.

BlackOmega, I think I might of posted this already once but I use this software at work: http://www.uiu4you.com/uiu_description.html. I simply restore the image to a PC, reboot and it'll sysprep by itself. I can have a OS up and running in a few minutes with all new updates, AV, MS Office ect ect. Great tool if you hate going through all the hassle of sitting there and waiting for Windows updates to finish or waiting for a app/game to install. Of course this application comes with a price

Good luck guys

EDIT: NIce OC on that 3800 kind of a crazy temp difference between the cores though.

BlackOmega, doh sorry about that. Forgot it only works on single drive configurations. I keep forgetting you guys are doing RAID now

TheSubtleKnife, nice overclock on that Toledo. I hardly see any 3800+ Toledo's. Most of the 3800+'s that I have seen in the club have been Manchester's.

Good job!
