When i start wondering where all my HDD space is going I run a program called WinDirStat to analyze everything. http://windirstat.info/ It gives you a graphical view of all your files so you can see what is using up space compared to everything else.

sorry for the confusion, its been edited.

...farewellish Team 33. The three 8-by servers that I have been folding on are finally going to be put into production, so no more running them at 100% 24/7. Its been good, and I'll try and stay on in a limited capacity, but defiantly won't be putting up the numbers I was before.

1.25 Million. The servers that I have folding for me will finally be going into service soon, so It looks like I might have to stop putting up the big numbers.

I'm not sure I understand in what way we passed google. Team 33 has been on top for as long as I can remember.

He folds for 33 as well, he isn't a heavy hitter though.

ONE MILLION!!!! I also broke into the top 100 of team 33. Its been a great few months guys, and hopefully a few more. I would first like to thank my boss for being lazy and not putting these servers into production in May like he should have. I would also like to thank my close friend...

The only way to stretch games across three monitors is by using the Matrox triple head system. The game must also support custom resolutions, and all of the monitors should be identical. If you where running just two monitors, nView's span mode would be sufficient, but it only works on one...

At this point AIT provides better support for offloading tasks. Once nVidia integrates that kind of feature into their drivers we will probably start seeing more applications that utilize the power of your GPU when your not playing games. However, until there is a unified standard for the...

I use this forum thread on the msfn boards: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=86450 It's fairly comprehensive and gets updated on patch Tuesdays.

All of my computers are running the SMP client Workstations: Q6600 @ 2.4GHz with Vista 32bit E6700 @ 2.66GHz with Vista 32bit Servers" 3x Dual E5345 @ 2.33 GHz with Server 2k3 These make for a total of 30 cores, each at least 2.33GHz

Picasa would probably suffice, but in my experience it is more for making photo albums. If you want something a little more robust I recommend Pain.net. You can get it at getpaint.net

I folded for a bit a while back and stopped for over two years. I think it was when I reformatted my machine and just forgot about it since it always ran automatically. I just got back in to show up a friend who was bragging about computing power, and I just didn't have a reason to stop one I...

Just broke 900,000 One mill is in my sights. Hopefully we won't put these machines into production for awhile so I can keep folding on them.

A wireless access point would have been better, but for some reason they typically cost more than a full blown router does. All you have to do to make it work it plug the uplink on the new wireless router into a port on the old one, you shouldn't need crossover cables or anything since it is a...

Just broke 500,000 points, and top 200 last week. I really need to get my new servers into a production environment, but damn they are cranking out the points.

I only have a small budget to work with at the office so I try to use as much open source software as I can. I install PDFcreator with every single computer I deploy, and it works beautifully. Just print your document and select PDFcreator. It is very easy if you want it to be, or you can...

TMobile will be rolling out a full 3G network in November. It is also suposed to have better upload speeds than other networks. I don't know the details, but it operates differently; so it should see all around better perfromance. They are in the process of testing it to make sure it is...

The big difference between those processors is that the T7xxx ones are the new Santa Rosa core2duos. I currently have a Latitude D620 with a T5450 and a D630 with a T7500, and the difference is quite large. The extra cache and faster FSB make a huge difference, and this is in XP. Vista will...

I've been shopping for a new cellphone provider for awhile now and I found that TMobile probably has the cheapest data plans around. 49.99 for the mobile broadband, and its even cheaper if you already have service with them and just want to add it to your current plan and tether your laptop to...

In order to run that software you will want a device that runs Windows Mobile. This will exclude any Palm, or Linux based devices. There are LOTS of cool things you can do with a pda, especially if you get one that doubles as a smart phone with a data plan. Your regular pda, while you think...

I agree, more boobs and explosions always makes things better.

Linux is a negative, but there is a lot of support for Windows mobile, and a very large development community. Pick up a 1 or 2 Gb SD and you can get a large number of games; classics like the original AoE and Sim City 2k, or ones made just for the ppc market (John Romero started a company...

You can connect three monitors to two PCI-E cards (I have a setup that does just that), its just that if the cards are in an SLI configuration you can only run a single monitor. Poke around on Newegg for a video card that will fit your price range. You can drill down the different options and...

CDBurnerXPpro, while an excellent piece of software, is no longer under development and a security vulnerability was recently announced that will not be patched. If security is a concern of yours, I recommend UltraISO or Nero. These aren't free, but if you do a lot of DVD work like I do...

I have been using Vista since last December and I haven't gotten a single error from removing a device, and I do a lot of work with removable hard drives and thumb drives since I work in IT. The only time it would potentially cause a problem is if you remove the device while writing files to...

The "safley remove hardware" is a legacy thing from Windows 2000 that was unnecessary even in XP. Since everything is plug and play now there is no need to manually stop the hardware. Even if you have some obscure piece of hardware, you can just unplug it.

I owned a first generation Area 51 laptop, ran me $2.8K when I got it over four years ago. The main reason I got it is because it was the only gaming laptop available at the time. It came with a Radion 9000 and an LCD that went to 1600x1200. This machine was far and beyond anything the...

If you need wpa support, you can pick up a program called Odyssey Access Client. It's pay for software, but is amazing. I believe it also came on some of the newer x50 Axims. It is basically the wireless manager that should have been built into windows mobile in the first place.

I had my three biggest machines restart without my permission, and they arn't running F@H as a service so they sat for 2 or 3 days before I get them running again. Its good to be back in the top 10 PPU list.

Great post Ghost, really puts the bashers in their place, and makes the "I installed it and it sucked so I put XP back on the next day" thought process wrong. I see people arround here that are complaining that Vista is using 30 to 40 % of their ram, oh no. Why buy 4GB of ram if you aren't...

Sorry, I'm not going to be buying people a used dock off ebay for company use. Most don't mind forking over the extra cash to get a new one with a warranty because of how much it actually helps.

This has been a gripe of mine on the Latitude series as well, even the newer x30 series doesn't have DVI. The only way for people to connect a monitor to it is to use VGA (which I hate forcing people to do), or to get a dock for $250. For some reason they also only put one DVI and one VGA on...

The biggest shot against the PPU is that the game engines are starting to put true hybrid threaded multi core support, where the game decides what to do with the cores. One can be AI, one can be physics, another can do sound. Valve has already shown benchmarks of truly doubling the performance...

Only wide screens are worth turning to portrait, there is to little gain form making a 4x3 into a 3x4. I use a 2007 sideways, just done through the nVidia control panel and I have to say that the Dell stand is probably the most adjustable stock stand out there. But they don't make a 22" with...

you don't have either of my resolutions on there, 4650x1680 or 3360x1050. I guess I'll just vote for the individual monitor's resolutions.

Best series ever. If you played the original back in the day, pick up the new episodes on steam or through telltale. If you go the steam route, I believe they also have The Longest Journey, another good adventure game.

An alternative way instead of downright disabling file sharing, is to just turn off the individual share. If you go to Computer Management (right click on My Computer and select Manage), open the "Shared Folders" tree, then open "Shares." This will list out all of the shared drives on your...

Just got the game on Friday for my 360 and I love it. When I first started playing I though that not having any direct control of the camera was going to cause problems, but once you play for a bit and figure out how it works, it's fine. The minion control is also ingenious. The swarm...

Broke 300K, and passed my buddy Toxin who got me folding again in the first place.
