Hey all,

** Predictor was down for about 20 minutes an hour ago (as of
this post ***.


FINALLY, after a hardware failure, corrupted file systems,
power supply failure that undervoltaged the CPU and MB (which
are being repaired under warranty because they were not over
clocked over overvoltage.....

I am just waiting for the last piece... Waiting for my DSL router,
which *conveniently* went out at the same time... (I suspect a
a 'California brownout'..... I should be back up at full speed tomorrow
when the router is reconfigured... It arrived today and I didn't have
time to get it done.

As for predictor.... I have some good news.....

I will be catching up & contributing at a much higher rate now....
While waiting for my A64 3200+ to be repaired/replaced and
then brought back on line, I am enjoying the first of a block of
Sledgehammers (clipped) to emulate an FX-53. It'sprogrammed to
report itself as a FX-53, but is a true Sledge, just unable to run
in SMP mode (the cpu-id pins are clipped)

This is my learning machine and is taking some getting used to in
this configuration. It's 1/2 way between both worlds... You know
this as the Opteron 800-series and the FX-53... It was cut to
make my life easier.

So, learning and recovering aside...


I posted a hundred or so results to Predictor tonight (FINALLY).


Also, Predictor now works ok in 'Windows XP service mode'...

The details are easy (as I think I said before)... and the next update,
which is about to hit test, will give us full distributed computer
RPC capability w/ the GUI fully detached from the 'service'.

Hollar w/ questions....


I would also like to cross-post & go off topic for a sec... and welcome
the new Predictor teams members as well as the new AMD Users to
the group!


I'll heading for dinner now (yes it is late here in PST USA land), but
everything is stable and I'm HUNGRY!!! LOL


Best of regards,
It's good to be back..

I'll share what I know about BOINC projects and Predictor ....
Just ask away.


THanks to all...
BC (Chuck)



PS: Jeff, While AS-5 is curing, is 55C under full load at 2400 Mhz
a normal temp if the chassis is at 30-31C (84F)? It seems a bit high,
but I also knw it takes time for things to cure.


Anyone with an SK8N MB can answer..... I'm running MB drivers 3.77 and BIOS 1007, Corsair CMX512R-3200PT C2.... it's dual-channelling just fine. And I do have the mod in place for quad-channel, if needed.



Again, Catch ya all shortly,
Chuck (BC)
