I've been gone a lot, having to shuffle between two hospitals and getting two eye surgeries done. A third is in the works, this time on my spine. MS can be a huge problem at times. I've left the computers running and folding when I'm gone. I came home yesterday and noticed today that my PPD...

I haunted the pages of Tom's at one time, but left for several years and folded for another website's team. That website quit some time ago and I decided to migrate back to Tom's. Some of the people here remember me. I was pretty high in world folding standings for the other team, as can be seen...

Just dropping by to see what's up. I'll try the alternate thread.

A bit surprised that the 7 year old thread was found. I'm not sure what computer I was using then, whether it was powered by an AMD quad chip or I had made the jump to a LGA 1366 i7 920. So long ago. Now I'm considering building a LGA2011 v3 with a 8-core CPU and 16gb of DDR4. The funny thing is...

103c is way too hot. As I stated earlier in this thread, my 955 BE ran about 65c while under full load of Folding at Home. It was noted by someone else that AMD lists a test temperature of 62c, your 955 BE is 41c higher than that. Can't say what's wrong with your setup, but I'd guess that either...

I generally use either Western Digital or Samsung depending mostly on which has the best price at the time. The last hard drive I bought was a Raptor X 500GB. Its very fast on startup and since the computer is rarely turned off, MTBF will probably be close to server class. The last two drives I...

As best I know, the only bad thing about using the "upgrade anytime" option is that Microsoft might charge more than what you would spend on a full OS disk from Newegg. Check the price difference before you make a decision. I've seen a lot of people buying large amounts of ram lately because...

Can't say for sure but you may have to upgrade to a "Premium" version to get things to work normally. As Retired Chief wrote, if the games are older and have some 16 bit code mixed in, that could play havoc with Win7. Vista wasn't quite so bad on that end of things, being that it was more...

With the possibility of having three or four video cards strung together, two bridge connectors are needed on each card so as to connect to cards on adjacent sides. Ok, if the benchmark doesn't list SLI as an option, it might not support it, in which case FRAPS looks about right. You might...
