Decided to fire up boinc again and use the gpu, the graphs were solid for the first couple of minutes, but then this happened. So far the display hasn't frozen though.

I wonder if it was in response to AMD's choice to fab the southern islands series at their spin off company Globalfoundries, or maybe the new fab choice is in response to TSMC wrecking plans. Either way I bet prices on the 6000 series are as cheap as they are because the 32nm premium isn't...

Does the graph on the sensor tab for the 12v and vddc normally show drops down to way low? the 'show min setting' on 12v shows 1.38v, the vdcc shoes 0.00, and the vddc current also show 0.00 for the min values. There is also an angular drop off in the graph sometimes. The problem is that the...

Thanks for the link to that site. They got some good info. I think in any case to get the sound level I'm after it's going to take an aftermarket cooler with some silent but high cfm fans. These boards just aren't designed with acoustics in mind. Thanks

I don't know about you guys but I can't stand the whirl of fans. I replaced all of the fans, including the psu's, with ultra low db fans. I also covered up any side fan ports that weren't in use to minimize sound leakage. This box is about as quite as it can get. Note that I have no where to put...

big kahuna burger for sample

nice

I've found myself with a not so obvious choice of whether to get a 2651XM or a 3640. I plan on buying a 4 or 8 port serial module along with several more serial wics to setup frame relay which will work in either model. I plan on adding one of these to a lab which I hope to be able to make use...

Having a good understanding with programming languages can really help when it comes to network security. I don't know what you know about penetration testing, but scripting is huge. Having a strong understanding of both programming and networking wont do you wrong. Like yourself I love...

I landed a 2950T for $100 shipped off of ebay two days ago. the Sybex CCNA 802 is thick but it will come in handy for reference.

I gave the vlan1 interface on one of these 2900xl's an ip address and pung it. An arp -a revealed the IP's MAC. The MAC that the switch gave to the vlan1 interface was different than the mac assigned to the switchport the packets traveled over, fa0/6. I'm guessing the switch has a large pool of...

..as I understand that they do. As a frame moves across the switch, does it forward the frame leaving the source and destination mac address intact as they are or does the switch replace the frame's source mac with the mac address of the switch port that the frame is exiting the switch on...

just fukin do it, dammit goto the store tonight and buy yourself an esspreso machine. You'll be good to go. ;)

As much time that Ive spent learning about computer systems, at this point I'm thinking about learning as deeply in another field just because I'm a geek like that. And for the sake of interest and curiosity.

I'll try watching for the post. I did hook up a 2610 just to make sure the connection was working, it works. But I'll watch for the post. It does have what looks like on board sdram, not a lot though. Thanks for your input.

Its the status light that's amber after fully booting up. I wasnt able to access the CLI from its console port. I figure that I just need to pick up a 32mb stick of super special cisco ram for about a dollar a mb... That status lights of the 48port Ethernet module are green. I think the switch...

We're using mostly nortel on a campus of about 2500 clients.

I picked up a used model on ebay for cheap the other day. The supervisor engine 1 is reading an amber light which is not good. I took it apart to clean it and noticed that the supervisor engine's lone dimm slot for what looks like sdram is empty. Does anyone know if this is typical and just for...

Thanks for the .bat file idea, I'll look into that. However, I dont know if all the apps have a command line install option with a set of options to boot. Just looking to automate the installation of a few client apps for about 3000 clients on campus. Ive been experimenting with winstall le...

I'm wondering if anyone that has experience with creating an msi to simplify the process of installing one or many apps. There is a process known as diffing where a before "snapshot" is created, before the software installation, as well as an after "snapshot", after the software is installed...

i'm still using arctic silver 2, any reason to buy #5?

wow silenX make some 120mm's that push 70cfm @ 14dbl

Those two you mentioned are really tall, pushing 16cm. I'm not sure if most cases have clearance for that. I'd imagine there are some really quite 120mm fans nowadays.

Ive looked at the Zalman 9500 and 9700, as well as the Tuniq Tower 120. I'd rather have something fairly quite as opposed to a pair of 120mm Delta's I had rigged in a build from a few years ago.. wow.. I have to say I'm leaning twards the 9700, but the weight of it is driving me to the...

That is a very nice installation. The rack that we have at work is similar, minus the SAN, and a lot more messy. We have pretty much two of everything for HA.

So what you are saying is that I cannot have a cluster composing of 3x 700mhz p3's with 128mb ram, 5x amd 1100mhz durons with 256mb ram, and 4x 1.8ghz amd XP 2200+ based systems with 512mb of ram with a master node a intel core 2 duo 2.andsomechange ghz with 2 gb of ram? I just made that up...

Does every node have to be the identical in hardware specs? For example, proc speed, ram count, motherboard, etc.. I think that a majority of these 500+/- mhz pcs are very different from one another. I cant figure that cloning a sys for another addition wouldn't workout too well. My...

http://top500.org/ there is also a list of benchmarks they used here at the end of the page: http://top500.org/blog/2007/10/29/cluster_challange_sc07

One of the cs professors on campus has offered to let me use a bunch of his pc, but they are pretty old, most of them around 500mhz. I'll use this copy of centOS 5.1. I'm not looking to make use of any storage for the benchmarks. Hows that valley board look?

I cant seem to find the search function, might still be disabled. However, I've decided to put together a Beowulf cluster for class presentation. The topic is super computers in general, but I wanted to demonstrate a small cluster for the class. Somewhere around 8+ nodes, or as much hardware I...

We made sure that the firewall in vista was disabled. I do find this particular scenario ridiculous. My best guess is that it has something to do with the way outlook uses vista to authenticate. We are using postfix with imap running ssl, and smtp authentication. Its a very tightly strapped...

It simply says 'cannot connect and cannot find server' or something to that effect. We've checked all the settings. Deleted the account and started from scratch. The settings are the same across the board for all our email clients.

Ive got outlook 2007 running on vista. I'm able to connect to this postfix mail server running imap with others like thunderbird, etc running on vista. I can also connect with outlook 2007 running on a windows 2003 box, but for some reason cant connect using outlook 07 running on vista.. Anyone...

OpenBSD :confused:

I'm currently studying for the network+. I hope to take the test here soon. I have a voucher for the CCNA exam also. Unfortunatly where I goto college for computer science, they don't teach anything cisco related. I guess I could probably bug their net work techs. Ive picked up some reading...

Digital life sounds neat. I wouldn't care to drive all the way down there. Definetly make a vaca of it. Anyone been to DefCon? :D I hear stories about no sleep, lots of alcohol, and this wall of shame.. $100 to get in, and the hotel where its held is fairly decently priced. I'm planning to...

Anyone familiar with any worthwhile cons, shows, or gatherings in the New england area? Being a CS student, I went to the Embedded systems conference back in sept of 2007 in Boston MA. I had a blast being around that much of the industry. Was great to just sit and listen to some experts talk...

Why not an amd cpu? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16819103771R Thats almost a $75 savings for the practicaly the same clock speed.

A friend of mine has a nforce2 mobo with two sticks of 256mb DDR running in the dual channel mode or 128bit. shes looking to add another 512 dimm, but is not sure if the two 256mb dimms and the 512mb dimm would all run in 128bit mode. How would this config run? I told her to just sell the two...
