Top computer

[mitchellds]

Hey Guys,

Check this out. I have the top avg. producing puter at Tanpaku now. :icon_mrgreen:

WoW, that's cool. great specs.

I really should get an Opteron, just to say I've got one. I'll have to save up a little. What MB's work well with the Opteron?

[Lagu]

Mitchell, can you send one of your computers to me in Sweden? Drool. Great power but we use to see how many points we have not RAC. If we look wish computer as have most point it is your AMD Athlon64 4200+ but of source if we look at RAC so are you right

Lagu:)

[mitchellds]

Bender10,

This is my first opteron setups, so I went with a dual Asus 1207 socket board. I guess you can still get 939 or 940 socket opteron cpu as well as the newer 1207 socket variety.

Lagu,
heh heh, which on would you like? Yup, I'm not anywhere near the top wu's producer, so I was shooting for the top avg points per computer. Yes, I'm reaching here, but its still sorta a #1 record for me anyhow .....

[Steve Lux]

Hey, the team can use all the crunch power it can get. Good job Mitchellds.

[Lagu]

I think AMD Athlon64 3800+ is a great one:icon_wink:

[Evil-Dragon]

Good work mitchellds, i wish i had a computer like that!

[Bender10]

If I went Opteron, Is the 22XX HE Socket F version a worthy purchase?

Do I have to populate both sockets on a dual-socket board, for it to work?

[mitchellds]

I went with this board. Its awsome, but a bit pricey. 346 at newegg
ASUS L1N64-SLI WS Dual Socket L (Socket 1207FX).

I actually bought a used pair of 2216's on ebay for 400.00, so I saved 50% in cost there. You could now get a pair of Fx-74's for around the same price as 2216 he opty's, and they run at 3ghz as opposed to 2.4. Yes you can run them as singles on this board also. This board will also accept the furture 4 core barcelona cpu when it comes out within a couple of months. So, you could then have 8 cores on this mb if you really want to sink some cash.

If you buy something new, make sure its am2 or 1207 socket stuff. That will give you some upgrade options for a bit anyhow. The 939 and 940 stuff is going by the wayside.

[Bender10]

Ok,
I looked at that asus board this morning.

I've tried to stick to the am2. I may try a venture into Opti land (after I save up a few pennies!).

Thanks

[Opteron]

Nice... I was also happy to see my fav in the link > Dual-Core AMD Opteron <... :icon_mrgreen:

[shotgunner101]

I still think my amd 5700+ dual core is better than most of amd's other projects LOl :P Maybe it's just the fact I like to think my 1600$ was worth it LOL

[Lagu]

Welcome Shotgunner101

Nice to see you posting and engaging. Feel free ask us about our projects and hardware issues.

Lagu:icon_wink: :)

[Jerod Vandehey]

Watch out for the top computer spot - here I come with my x2-3600 (I am computer 24696)! Ok, maybe not, but I am at least happy to have made the top 20 just today. I think I may even move up a couple more spots (with any luck).

[mitchellds]

Go get em Jerod, you can do it.

I haven't been running Tanpaku for awhile, so I vacated that spot, but I might come back someday.... :icon_wink:

[Jerod Vandehey]

It appears that I have the fastest dual core machine on Tanpaku at the moment. I made it to #12 in the stats for RAC. Unfortunately I can't compete with those quad cores and better... :( There are a couple of computers that are a slight bit faster than mine, but I guess I don't have mine doing anything but crunch. (I was actually up to 10, but then mitchell came knocking with the quad cores...)

[mitchellds]

Hey Jerod,

The race brought me back. The top cruncher is now over 1700. Let me see if I can catch him. I'm toying with some Oc'ing and water cooling on one of those quads.

Sweet!
I wanna foto :icon_twisted:

[moderna]

I'm hot on your tail on the computer list. I'm running at about 875 but have not been processing for 7 days. Just passed the 700 average mark for the race so I am now an official pharmer so now my target is the top 10 on computers.

Now, can I get to the top 10.

Press that OC pedal and see what AMD's can do!

[mitchellds]

Alright !!, glad to have company. Crank up that space heater. Makes me wish for winter again as far as crunching goes.

[mitchellds]

Ok, here's a pic of part of my Frankenstein Setup. 3 Quads and 2 Duals. One of the duals and one of the quads is Water cooled. It's a mess I know, I'm working on it. :sad5:

[PcManiac]

That is really awesome!!!
:)
(what kinda work do you btw ... must make good $$$) :icon_razz:

[Beerknurd]

Did you convert an Xbox??

[AMDave]

Brilliant!
Don't change a thing Dave.
That's a pure-DC look, that is :icon_mrgreen:

[mitchellds]

Beerknurd, prob what your seeing as a xbox is my nautalus 500 WC. I'm also adding my Amd x2 6k to the top shelf today and hooking up my console switch to everybody. Right now I just VNC for remote control. I got rid of the unreliable wireless connections, and added them to this GB switch. Much better now. :icon_mrgreen:

PcManiac, I'm a network/security consultant.:sad5::icon_rolleyes:

PcManiac, I'm a network/security consultant.:sad5::icon_rolleyes:

ohh that would be a cool job! probably better than what I am starting fixing computers ...

[mitchellds]

Heh heh, Its not bad, it has its times like any other job I imagine.
