The wife finally caved in..... :lol:
New PC Specs...
AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor 4200+
2.0GB of PC2-4200 DDR2 SDRAM
250GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive
LightScribe DVD±RW Double Layer drive 16x DVD+R
I had to sell my last AMD. But now i'm back dual-core style!!!!
Dayam... I want that computer. :evil:
I'll take the RAM, I don't want to replace my mobo just getting this computer 2 months ago. :P
Have fun w/ it in all the projects. You'll sure to get a boost.
Wow! Great rig you got there! :)
Are you planning on overclocking it? And what project(s) are you gonna get it on?
Slow down.. I barely got it on the net... :lol:
It is running Rectilinear right now... I gotta pass Vaughan.....
Beer's on a quest to pass Vaughan in as many projects as possible. :lol:
You can do it!

Did get a 300gig sata drive though.
Multiple programs run great on it!
Enjoy
is the lightscribe where you burn both sides of the disk. data as usual and an image from above? have you tried it yet? is it good or just a gimmick?
excellent processor i bet it really flies.
memory sounds good, is there much real speed difference between DDR standard and DDR2?
possibly beer and twiight could benchmark on something to see what the memory differences actually are :D seeing as the machines are identical.
Lightscribe is where you can burn a picture to the top of the cd, or label it... for ex. Beerknurds photos. I haven't tried it yet... It requires special dvd's.
I got a lightscribe drive (on my old one, my dad took it away, lol). I was supposed to get those lightscribe DVDs for free but they ran out. My parents got a rain check but it took too long so they just took the money.
For a sample picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LightScribe
Nice computer Beerknurd.
What did you get your wife as compensation?
she hasn't told me yet... I'm scared.... :shock:
Man... This thing fly's!!!!!
Oh quit your bragging. :P
Wait till I save up enough money for a quad-core. Then I'll be flying high! Though the temperatures and electrical bill will be playing high as well. :lol:
:mad: I want one now!
Count me in for wanting one too !!! :D :D
I really wanted an FX but couldn't afford it.... Well I could, but I don't think I could have convinced the wife on that one... Big price difference...

Even with the price cuts it's still a gigantic price difference. :roll:
W/ these, makes me wish my dad let me buy my own computer. Those X2's are getting cheap.
damn... maybe I should have waited...
Berknurd, I am really interested in you results on Riesel-Sieve. I am running a virtually identical set up except that I have 2Mb of DDR400 RAM against your 2Mb of DDR2. My FPS are 2117 against your 3668 and IS 3894 against your 12023 so you are a loads ahead of me in the benchmarks and get nearly 3 times the credit but we both run WUs in the same time. What MoBo do you have? C’ause I want one! dAVE
Are you running an optimized BOINC client dAVE? Here's crunch3r's final, thanks to daddygeek. :D
http://cookngeek.com/Daddygeek/BOINC_5.5.0_SSE2.zip
Edit: Just extract it your BOINC directory and overwrite the files :D
Yup. Go use it. Though Bryan already set a credit cap to 30 to prevent me (and soon, you) from stealing credits. :twisted:
If anybody needs the other apps, I have Crunch3r's MMX, SSE and SSE2 optimized. I've never found his SSE3 release.
yea, mine is optomized... That's why... :D
I can’t run optimised apps because I am doing some tests but it does mean that my old DDR400 RAM is still standing up quite well against your top of the range DDR2 RAM, at least on Riesel Sieve. Your scores are impressive though, dAVE
:salute:
Yea, I love this machine...
:wav:
Better not tell your wife that! :buzzsaw:
So with the AMD machine what optimized client should I be using.. I am using the SSE2 version on my Intel Dual Core and my AMD Dual Core. Isn't SSE2 for intel's??
The SSE2 version is for any processor that supports it, both AMD's and Intels. :)
EDIT: Same applies to the other versions of course :roll:
Any CPU that doesn't support SSE2, but supports SSE gets a good boost with the SSE version.
Ok cool... I just wanted to make sure I was using the right one... :signthanks:
Now why would I give you the wrong one. ;) :P
We are teammates right. We all work together. Even if it means using an unsupport optimized client now. hehe
beerknurd you can download a simple program like CPUZ or CPUID that will give you a load of info on your processor including the extensions it supports.
edit - i uploaded one of them. http://empty5oul.amdusers.com/cpuz.zip
So I guess I can use any of them...
