Ok, Lets see cost does play a part here and so thats that, I found a way to have an internal wireless Super G(108Mbps, Not an N card), It involves a mini-pci-express wireless card for a laptop and a pci-e card that has a mini-pic-express connector on It and places for 3 antennas(see below) I love when they come up with neat solutions like that. Is it cost effective tho? mini-PCIe cards can be costly. SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

why settle on the 1156 pin boards? Yeah the i5 750 and the i7 920 and My QX6700 all run at 2.66GHz, If not overclocked, I don't run at stock speed for long, Stock speed is no fun. Since I don't usually play games, The P55 will do fine and It's supposed to be the successor to what I have now and on the low end, Besides It's Newer Technology... Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

[quote] Yea but the 17 at the same speed will blow the i5 away at seti...Just like my P4 2.8 @ 3.2 is slow compared to my i7 @ 2.66. Bus speed does not tell it all. So if you aren't getting it for Seti seems your QX6700 will do all the the i5 could do. Official Abuser of Boinc Buttons... And no good credit hound! |

[quote] There is one difference between the QX6700 and the i5, Their motherboards, The QX can support only 2 video cards, While the newer motherboard can support 3 or at least should since I run XP x64. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

If you or someone is looking for a good deal on a GTX 275 Mwave has a good one refurbished for 223.99 or something like that.... EVGA GTX 275 I would call to order to make sure they still have it as they will process the order even though it was sold and credit a couple days later.... Official Abuser of Boinc Buttons...

If you or someone is looking for a good deal on a GTX 275 Mwave has a good one refurbished for 223.99 or something like that.... No, I have a 295 already, So I'll just stick to My plan and get one or maybe 2 more 295 cards. And I've just paid for the I/O shield($26.50) and the motherboard($132.15), Sure the motherboard cost Me $10.04 more than I thought, So I helped support California, Now for the Microwave oven later on.

Ok in part 2 I'll post some pics and stuff about how far I can get an i5 750 cpu to run at with all 4 cores. Now I just need to sell off the Asus P5K Deluxe(P35 chipset), Intel Q9300(Quad core) cpu[It can go as far as 3.51GHz, YMMV], Patriot Viper PC2-8500 2GB ram(with Black fins) and the cpu heatsink, fan and thermalright mounting bracket and spring loaded screws. Any takers? Mark? Makes a very good cruncher w/a good psu of course. Cost is $154.98+shipping+insurance+tracking(USPS Priority Mail in the USA) of course. Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

Oh I hate this, Mwave doesn't like My zip code, I use 9 digits cause the mail requires It out here as there is no delivery to the street address and wouldn't You know It Mwave only uses or allows a 5 digit zip code for ordering/billing, Well I called Mwave about It as they said My address doesn't match(toll free on their dime), So I explained It to them, So I gave them a choice, If they want the order, accept My address as is or cancel My order so I can order from Newegg instead and I said that Mwave needs to fix this problem as the box looks wide enough for 9 digits, but won't accept more than 5, So in maybe 30 minutes I'll know If the order has gone through or If I get to buy from Newegg. As Newegg won't quibble about My address. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

I actually have a spare i7 920 that I bought in a panic a few months ago when it looked like the Frozen Nehi might have crunched it's last.

This sounds like a limitation imposed by his local post office, but I don't know if they can enforce it. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

As Newegg won't quibble about My address. Well like I said It's required out here(No mail delivery to any street address in Yermo, No exceptions), Only government stuff with 5 digits has ever gotten delivered to My PO Box in Yermo, Other items have in the past gotten lost or just returned to sender. UPS/FedEx and DHL don't need more than 5, But Mwave wants to be picky, Newegg has My complete 9 digit zip code, UPS & Newegg doesn't care, But the Bank sure as hell does. And also some places need that extra 4 digits as they use the US Mail. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

All Mail to Yermo goes thru the Barstow CA Post Office before going to Yermo CA, Barstow enforces It, Yermo has only 2 employees there and no delivery trucks as per agreement with the town of Yermo. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

I can see that the Post Office requires that but can't see FedEx or UPS honering that as they won't deliver to PO boxes... Official Abuser of Boinc Buttons... And no good credit hound! |

UPS and FedEx and yeah DHL just ignore the extra 4 digits in the zip code as It doesn't say PO Box anywhere in My address at the Bank at all, So UPS delivers here as does the other two with no problems. The extra 4 digits are for the Post Office only(the 4 extra numbers say PO Box to the Post Office and only the Post Office), Everyone else just ignores It. Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

Nope...but if I were to invest in anything right now to get a little more power in the farm, it would probably be a GTX260 upgrade for one of my non-Cuda rigs... But that's gonna have to wait until I see how my income taxes from last year sort out. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

And I looked thru My emails from Mwave, It seems in 2008 I was able to order at least twice with no problem and I have not changed My address at the Bank since 2004, So Mwave is at fault. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |
