    dammit, i want to do this, now!

    just got a 710 (man, gaming (or at least WoW) is perfect now!), however, i popped a 550 watt PSU the night after getting it :S ..it's probably the GPU to blame. it was right under the GPU (4870) which was a non-2slotter which only blew the heat into the case.

    hopefully the PC Power & Cooling can live with the abuse of the 4870...

    New SOB Client released

    My system is not sending any info to either the existing SoB work that I have already done or the new site Mersenne PrimeNet. Has anyone else had this problem? I have completed 17% of the work unit and I can't find my points values anywhere, what Jives?

    If I can't figure this out this project is forever ruined in my mind! Very Angry person here, someone guide me into what the HECK is going on!

    New SOB client released

    I ran this project with the new Client and for 5 days, I was not seeing any updating happening. I resorted to contacting one of the admins and after altering a few things, both the new site for progress on the long work units and the old site nothing was showing in my account.

    I have stopped the project and have returned to DPAD.

    I have suggested to the admin ( L) that before he deploys a new client he should get his Instruction set in place with great accuracy.

    I am not a happy camper... Will use old Client as I know it works, and works Well...

    Thank you for the warning re the new client Nflight. Your perseverance will hopefully result in an improved project.

    Are these WUs as buxom as their BOINC sisters?
    SOB there stands for 'Son Of a Bitch', taking weeks to compute
