...which is one MB here on main, and three AP 6.01 on Beta. Poor old thing didn't stand a chance. It had no antibodies to deal with such an alien ecosystem;) Sorry for your loss Sten. This is the CeleronM I presume? |

It's not dead, it's only sleeping. That's the good thing about computers. You can resurrect them at will, the undead. At the moment I'm ripping out the heart (motherboard) of my dedicated cruncher, add some voodoo and it'll continue to serve me for years to come. (I just hope not too many workunits will time out due to waiting for the spare I ordered.) |

It's not dead, it's only sleeping. Hopefully the new kit comes with it's own supply, trying to put your own back in gets very messy, as old magic smoke is usually not compatible with new kit. |

It's not dead, it's only sleeping. Actually I considered just replacing the leaky magic smoke reservoirs (capacitors) but the ordering time and the relatively small price difference made me opt for a complete change of heart. |

It's not dead, it's only sleeping. I thought it was just the magic smoke hard resevoirs that were at fault. Simply resmoked. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

I just ordered a Western Digital Scorpio Blue 160GB 2,5" ATA drive to it. Not counting other factors, including nostalgia, I wouldn't spend SEK 700 / USD 100 for a RAC of 200. The money would be better used towards a new computer that would be a better cruncher. |

More bang for your money if you had bought another GPU for your top rig instead of trying to revive such an old/slow system. |

Buy a quad cpu and a 460 gpu Nah, a 2.5" IDE SSD made for the industrial PC market would have been far more interesting. Joe |

Did you try the old put the HDD (sealed in a plastic bag) in a freezer overnight, trick ? Just Google "hdd freezer trick" for more information. |

Some people are heartless ... They think of RAC only, with no consideration for the bonds that we form with our silicon brethren. I, for one, am glad to hear that you're giving Z9100L new life. Please keep us posted. |

Well, 64+ hours for a Beta 6.01 AP, run on stock app. Now I wait for a 6.01 AP on main, run with Opt AP6_win_x86_SSE_CPU_r555. It will be very interesting to see how much faster it is on the Celeron Super Duper CPU. Probably totally useless knowledge though, since I'm probably one of the few who is stupid enough to still crunch on a CeleronM, 1.50GHz. Well until recently I was running my Pentium M 1.5GHz notebook. Granted I overclocked the snot out of it. So it did have a RAC in the 550-650 range. I never did run AP work on it, but maybe I will do some more since the weather decided to turn cooler again for a while.
