Isn't a whole lot of talk around here on the fun aspect of folding, which I think is a key element of a top-flight team.

women, fame? :D j/k of course but maybe not


it was doing ok, couldnt find a 4pci-e slot mobo so i got a dfi coming maybe early next week, its got 2 slots. 775 socket. was thinking to rig it up as browsing puter and slowly look for a 4 pci-e mobo(yes charlie, i wont forgive you any time soon...:D ) amd or whatever...and the new 950 watter from corsair..dude its got 6 pci-e cables lolz...quite enough for 4 slots unless ill go gx2's or something..that be overkill..i intend to populate it with 4 8800gt's...and the browsing rig with 2 gt's or forget about it and go just with 2 slots and keep a healthy 10k ppd..hmmmmmmmmmmm

ooook..so if everything goes according to plan my next mains will look a bit like this

some motherboard and 4pci-e slots mated to some cpu
2x1gb minimum ram preferably 2x2 but need to find a good deal on those as well.
corsair 950 watter with all the pci-e cables in the worlde(6 lol)
whatever drive
haf922

I don't have to ask in what manner you're speaking of

[_dangtx_]

waiting for polo's board, still looking for a cpu. got one gt coming...bad luck with buying lately lol

[bwm]

Looking for a low-end intel S775 quad I assume.

Doesn't seem like it should be hard to come up with one.

[_dangtx_]

found a 100$ one, missed a very good deal in here since i was at work...meh...luc kwill shine on me riggie one of these days

[bwm]

Be patient. Gotta be a 9550 or 6600 showing up pretty soon.
With luck a Q6600 G0, unless the 9550 has larger caches.

[_dangtx_]

well you cant ignore the 12 megs of the 9550 lol

worth the 45 dollars over i think :) and oc ability.
