My Computers
My present computers are running dual Xeon processors from 2.4 to 3.2 ghz depending on the machine. I have a variety of motherboards hosting them. The Asus PC-DL is my main machine and have a couple of them. The Tyan Tiger board is another that I have on 2 machines I think. Both are very stable but the PC-DL is the overclocker. I have experimented some with overclocking but not as much as others. I am more into reliability than speed, although speed certainly is nice... lol
I have some sites that I go to on a regular basis for deals on computer stuff. SlickDeals, TechBargains, and good ole reliable NewEgg are my favorites.
Below you will find links to some of the things I experiment with. Please look into the FOLDING link. It is a very worthwhile project and could save many lives.
COMING SOON!
My struggles with a new high powered video card have prompted me to set up some details here. Since I read posts all over the net for over 2 days... I see most folks are having the same problems with these new ATI chipsets. Mine is a Sapphire X1950 pro AGP card with 512mb. I will be adding a link soon to pages fully describing all the problems and solutions I have found. Stay tuned!
UPDATE 2/14/07
Quad Core Intel rigs to replace my Xeon systems. Folding and testing to follow soon. My plan is to replace all my present systems with the quad cores. I will detail my experiences with these as they become affordable on my budget.
UPDATE 10/22/07
Ok the beginning of my new quad core rig is on its way... see the Quad Core link below for details
UPDATE 2/16/10
Well it has been quite a while since I wrote much here. A few things happening in the pc world. I did get the dual quad core running as is documented here. Now that the video cards are so powerful they overtake the CPU's at least for my folding project. Folding is of course my main purpose for buying all this hardware. In any case I now have another machine running dual GeForce 9800 GTX+'s and it turns out more work than any of my other machines. Some time I will sit down and write an article about it. I don't think I ever did explain that new SLI machine. But it really cooks!
