Yeah . . . I went to another nearby store, and they knew what I was talking about. However the manager says it can not, should not, and will not be done in-store. She called three other people to verify that. She said if anybody had set it up for a customer in store they were violating...
I just tried to sign up at a Sprint store, and was told they couldn't do it. They also kept asking where I worked and what my employee ID was (I explained three times I did not work for Sprint, that I was referred by a Sprint employee, hence the "employee referral offer".
They looked at me...
According to the specs of the kit it is only really meant to cool a CPU, not a video card and hard drives. High speed SCSI drives are infamous for generating large amounts of heat, which is almost certainly your problem.
Remove the hard drives from the water cooling loop. As long there is...
I have a PowerEdge SDS 100 8-drave rackmount array I just got surplus, which came populated with drives but without either hot-swap PSU. While I can't find any of the power supplies meant for it, I have seen plenty of the ones for the PowerEdge 4200 on eBay . . . . . . they're the same form...
All right, I go to get something off one of my parititons and all of the folder names are completely garbled. Win 2k's logical disk manager wanted to "Write a new digital signature" on it, so I tried rebooting the system.
The disk is no longer there. Shows up as unparitioned space in Logical...
I've finally decided to take the plunge and go get a cellphone, after being stuck in traffic for more than an hour straight, wishing the whole time I could call to let someone know to pick up my younger brother from school (as it was he waited outside the whole time).
One of the main reasons...
Anybody know if this motherboard will support a 512mb Registered ECC PC2700 DDR module? There's no information whatsoever on ECC support on MSI's site, and I don't know enough about the board to guess.
Somebody buying said ram module from me depends on its working correctly with the KT4...
Aight, I'm finally finishing up the work on my 4U Alpha rackmount server to use for Seti and DF (one on each CPU). Its a beast of a machine, dual Slot B EV6 667mhz Alphas with 4mb DDR cache per cpu. I have it loaded with a 36.7gig Cheetah 10k drive, quad 10/100 ethernet card, Adpatec U160 SCSI...
With that kind of budget, you can have a seriously badass system,
I'd recommend something along the lines of:
Athlon XP 2800+
nForce2 mobo with dual-channel DDR support
2 sticks of PC3200 512mb CL2 DDR
Radeon 9700 Pro video card
Dual 120gig WD Special Edition 8mb drives (I'm partial to that...
I've run several Linux varients on SMP x86 systems before, but I've heard that there are speed issues with the way some things are ported to Alpha.
Tru64 seems to be getting the most support, both here and with several other people I've asked. I'll have to see if I can get my hands on a copy.
I just aquired a dual Alpha EV6 rack server, with two 667mhz cpus (4mb DDR cache each) on a UP2000+ motherboard. I've seen quite a few *nix variants that will run on this system, and I'm curious as to which will yeild the best performance with this type of SMP system. (I've only administrated...
I'm pretty curious myself, it'll be at least a week or two before I can afford the ram though.
Btw: beatmassa has 44 min per WU times in the rankings . . . . . . what kind of rig is he running that's capable of that? My OCed Athlon XP @ 1.67ghz does about 3hr 44min per WU, I didn't know...
Glad to be part of the team. Might be asking for help soon setting up a certain server I have sitting here . . . . ought to be an interesting practical test of its capability. (There is a client I can use on a dual Alpha EV6, right?)
