Ok guys, I'm getting ready to place my order, should I go ahead with an E8400 or grab a Q6600. Thinking with me gaming and such 4 cores really doesn't help me much but I could set 2 cores to fold and the other 2 cores to game and run my misc. programs so I don't hinder my folding times.

What do you all say.

Or I could just build the E8400 in my P35 mb and let it soley fold and use my E6750 rig for gaming and misc. programs.

Ok, well just called my wife and internet is still out so I gotta order it by the time I leave work so, I went with the E8400.

Hopefully I'll have it by Fri., just in time for the weekend.

By the way, I'll be finishing up another WU for the Team_The_Replacements here on my work machine in a minute. That'll be the last one since I've found out that bad things may happen if they catch me running F@H on my work PC.

Yea, that's why I had to pull it off the one's at my work, they're only P4's so didn't really matter.

But we don't want anybody getting in trouble now.

Oh yea, well I guess I am signing off for today, I'm gonna go home and call Armstrong and give them a peice of my mind. It's been 3 days now, and that is just unacceptable with the prices I pay for their service. See everybody tomm.

We can all just set our rigs at stock settings, and grab some worms and plenty of gas and enjoy the August vacation.
Just know that FreeRoller is a wildman, and he'll just keep saying "faster, FASTER!" until he wipes out and somersaults across the lake.
The we can all laugh and roast marshmellows, and talk about the old days and ram timings.
Count us in

I about rolled out of my chair reading that.

YES PLEASE.

Hell we get stuff up and running we might just catch rough riders.

By the way. I know that single users can get prizes for folding each month, but what does the winning team get?

Thats 9-10 days, assuming all goes well my rig has had one blue screen since May 27th. But ranger has had some issues with his rig picking up every other work unit. I wanted to discuss ideas on what to do, and what I have so far.

1. We ask two people to step in for us for the month of August(they can't just fill in for 10 days, points follow the person not the team).
--Downside is that odds of us finding two people who can crank our numbers is pretty slim unless jade and freeroller want to jump ship for a month....

2. We shut em down, when we get back we fire them back up and will probably still be in the top 10.
--Downside, well rough rides have no one to compete with.

3. We let em run, hope they don't die or miss a job.
--Risk mainly to the machines should a fan die or something, not as worried about this.

4. We try to find a program that allows remote access.
--At the lake we have 15k dialup...yeah 15k...so it would take some time and with jet skis, boats, women(ours lol), and 4 wheelers...we are probably only going to check them once or twice.

Any other thoughts?

PS. Yes I am this anal about folding now, ask Jade and I bet he would do the same thing.

By the way guys. I have to install Vista YET AGAIN since my new hard drive arrived. I'm going to try Vista x64 again since now I know that Windows Defender was causing problems in 32-bit Vista. I can't wait to test this hdd. It's supposed very fast, quiet, and cool due to having only one platter.

Well, from our experience, nothing.
