22) Message boards : Number crunching : Best Linux Distro To Crunch With (Message 1122595) Posted 29 Jun 2011 by dcappello Post: Thanks for the all the info - I fired up Fedora 15 and Ubuntu - ended up on Ubuntu - most easy to setup and get running with BOINC host stats here: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=6067896 (yes I didn't put it inside a url) I think next I may try something with a GPU in it - that host only has 8 Cores. thanks again for the guidance. regards,

23) Message boards : Number crunching : Best Linux Distro To Crunch With (Message 1121515) Posted 25 Jun 2011 by dcappello Post: Hello all, With so many choices for linux - what is the opinion of everybody for the "best" distro to use to Crunch with? I am looking for easy, small, fast - be "nice" if I could use hardware if it was available (ie graphic cards). I am moving off windows vista, server 2003 - so I'll be doing a few machines. regards,

27) Message boards : Number crunching : Thinking about AMD GPU (Message 1090977) Posted 27 Mar 2011 by dcappello Post: Of course I have been reading up on the AMD vs NVIDIA wars - all my rigs are running NVIDIA - but perhaps I need to try something from AMD - are the optimized apps ready to go? What is everybody thinking along these lines? http://www.9to5mac.com/58014/amd-throws-down-the-gauntlet-to-nvidia-on-graphics-speed-claims/

32) Message boards : Number crunching : power supply (Message 1076693) Posted 13 Feb 2011 by dcappello Post: I started to poke around some more on Power Supplies - Thinking I'll need a small sub-station to power one of those 590s...... There is a very interesting article over on Tom's : http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/psu-manufacturer-oem,2729.html Looks like Corsair and PC Power and cooling use some of the same OEMs, anyway I also looked up the UL reference for Cosair: http://database.ul.com/cgi-bin/XYV/template/LISEXT/1FRAME/showpage.html?name=QQGQ2.E307858&ccnshorttitle=Power+Supplies,+Information+Technology+Equipment+Including+Electrical+Business+Equipment+-+Component&objid=1078378885&cfgid=1073741824&version=versionless&parent_id=1073787374&sequence=1 Bottom line is don't cheap out a power supply.

33) Message boards : Number crunching : power supply (Message 1076455) Posted 12 Feb 2011 by dcappello Post: I am a big fan of Corsair supplies - I just ordered a new 750 (CMPSU-750HX) for my next build. Don't worry to much about it - 7yr warranty and 80 PLUS SILVER Certified! Newegg has it on sale for 129.00 with free shipping. Use this promo code: EMCKHJJ36 (expires in 2 days) and this turns into a great deal (steal) at $114.00 usd. Here is the link to the supply I am talking about: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139010&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL021111&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL021111-_-EMC-021111-Index-_-PowerSupplies-_-17139010-L06C I have never had a Corsair supply burn up yet.

(they will not be SLI'd) here are the two cards: This is the host http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=4038605

35) Message boards : Number crunching : new laptop selection (Message 1074585) Posted 6 Feb 2011 by dcappello Post: Here is a crazy idea. Fresh out of school - consulting - who knows where they might end up. How about a high-end 15" MacBook Pro ? Hardware is top notch in quality and looks great! The 15" with a 2.8GHz Intel Core i7 and 4G of ram and 500G drive starts out at 2400 bucks. (there are discounts ava if you look around). You would then have the flexibility and choice of which OS you wanted to use. With bootcamp you can boot native into win7 if you needed. Applecare is top-notch, Apple stores are all over the place if service was ever needed. Something to consider perhaps... -David

39) Message boards : Number crunching : Are there already Sandy Bridge Crunchers out there? (Message 1067428) Posted 16 Jan 2011 by dcappello Post: If you are lucky to have a Microcenter near you - they offer these new Intel CPUs with nice discounts - http://www.microcenter.com/storefronts/powerspec/processors.html Like 80 or 90 usd off!!! I have not built a system with one yet but am thinking about it. All this is very interesting.
