Girlfriend's computer this morning I noticed only had 2% battery charge left, even though it was plugged in all night. She leaves the computer on 24/7 and plugged in to the wall socket at all times... has anyone seen this before? I'm figuring it's one of 3 things, power cord, battery, or...

Well, all details aside, I NEED money ASAP, so I'm gonna sell this e4300 machine I had that was just sitting folding. Heatware feedback here: http://www.heatware.com/eval.php?id=45088 Ebay feedback here...

I bought this a week ago and it's not currently in any ads, but a LOT of stores in my area still have it, and tonight at work (I work at an office depot) I checked inventory at a bunch of Houston stores and the price is still $549 bucks. Tomorrow starts a sale that goes for the next 3 days I...

Howdy folks... title is pretty self explanatory. I've got Heatware and EBAY feedbacks in the links. First up is an Asus P5B Deluxe/Wi-fi board. I bought this open-box from newegg so like normal, it comes with the board ONLY. No backplate, no wifi antenna (though the little part that...

Hi all, I'm extremely new to linux, namely in that I've only got it running right now to run the SMP folding@home client on a machine. Anyways, I'm wondering if there are any decent programs out there for monitoring cpu temperatures? Specifically for Core 2 chips preferably? Thanks :(

Hi all, what are you guys using to monitor temps in linux OS's?

Office Depot has another CTO (Configure to order) laptop deal on sale right now. Only thing is this time it's all instant savings, no rebates. Price is 399, but there's 65 dollar shipping cost (since CTO's are built custom and shipped to you). I didn't bring an ad home, but it's on the...

I've got an Athlon64 X2 4600+ for socket AM2 for sale. It's an OEM chip just like in the link there, so comes with no cooler (I don't have any stock coolers laying around to give out unfortunately). Stepping is LDB4F 0628SPMW Would like to get 120 shipped for it. Got it lightly used from a...

Hiya guys, figured I'd post it here before it goes to the main for sale forum. I've got an Athlon64 X2 4600+ for socket AM2 for sale. It's an OEM chip just like in the link there, so comes with no cooler (I don't have any stock coolers laying around to give out unfortunately). Would like...

I've got a Pentium D 915 up for sale. I've clocked this thing up to 4ghz EASILY on air(Zalman 9500, good case flow). This was 4ghz dual prime stable, and had it running Folding@Home for about 3 months 24/7 at this speed before swapping it out with an e4300 from a Fry's combo deal. Took it...

Finally put linux on my C2D e4300 box and it completed it's first WU, but then after that all hell broke loose. Now it won't do anything, it just keeps giving me variations of this in the log: I didn't request to shutdown the program btw. Sometimes in place of that it will say deleting...

I work there and this fellow comes in last night wanting to order these. http://www.officedepot.com/textSearch.do?uniqueSearchFlag=true&Ntt=442600 It's a typo. If we type it into our inventory screen it shows up 59.99 in price. But on the website, and if we type it into inventory screen...

Heh, got this e4300 deal from fry's right? Ok so I put it in my P5B deluxe board that I had, and the thing will never post anything over 360fsb basically. I figure meh, no wonder this board was an open box item at newegg. So I order a DS3, I put it in today (with an HR05 on the...

Been getting a ton of the 292 pointers lately, woke up today and both cores of the e4300 machine I'm playing around with have these p2914 and p2915 (546 and 556 pts respectively). They're only taking 15 minutes per frame to process (would probly take considerably less if they weren't both on...

Got an x800 coming for what I'm building for my mom, wanna put a silencer on it since all my other ones have served me so well... . can't find them anywhere though, except ebay where they're terribly overpriced.... anyone got one they don't use anymore?

Got an E4300 today out of the fry's deal, and put it in place of the Pentium D in the middle machine in my sig. This is my first C2D chip, and I'm wondering why when I run coretemp in windows, it reads ~15c lower temps than speedfan does. Speedfan, as far as idle temps, corresponds to what...

Coworker gave me an old machine, not really worth anything as a folder, 300mhz pentium 2 and all, butI've at least got a 256mb stick of kingston Value Ram (KVR133Q/256R) out of it, and some noname OEM stuff, 128mb PC133, CL2 single sided ram. Would like to just sell both for 12 bucks shipped...

All prices include USPS Priority Mail shipping. I've got EBAY feedback and HEATWARE feedback. Preferred payment is confrmed Paypal. Items will ship as soon as money is in my account. Got a pair of these up for sale. Both of them are virtually unused (just tested) but lack any...

Bought THIS as an open box item from newegg, ended up not needing it and I'm past the return period for a refund. I paid 145 shipped for it, so I'm gonna offer it for sale at $130 shipped. It's been tested and works fine, ran prime on it for about 2 hrs before taking it out and putting my usual...

Worked an overnight shift last night and on our "lunch" break we were flipping channels and I heard a preview for the channel 11 news saying something about "but what is your computer doing when you're not using it? We'll tell you how you can use your unused computer's power to help fight...

Hah, I added my laptop (1.86ghz core solo) to my "farm" a week or so ago just because I rarely use it anyway... the first thing it downloaded was one of the p2124 proteins and took FOREVER to complete it, so I was almost thinking that it isn't even worth putting the stress on it if it's gonna...

I don't recall ever feeling this frustrated and/or helpless with a computer in my entire life. [BRO]Alaskan has given me some tips and such through PM's but I don't want to keep bothering him, so I'll just ask publicly. I've got this dual 4ghz pentium-d machine that could probably have...

Hi all, I'm installing linux for the sole purpose (for now I guess) of using the SMP folding at home client. I've heard of a lot of problems getting it to run on Ubuntu, and was recommended openSuse. LONG story short, I'm now trying to install Fedora Core 6. I go through the install (at...

This happened twice today, once on the opty machine in my sig (folding on both cores) and once on a spare folding-only machine (also folding on both cores). I keep EMIII minimized on this machine and just opened it to see what this machine was doing, and had it open for a few minutes while I...

Okie guys, got my new dual core fold-only machine running and the overclock stable, got a quick question. During config, in the advanced options, it had a question about specifying the amount of memory to dedicate, something to that effect. Listed in parenthesis the total available ram...

As title says. Next week (starting this sunday) office depot will have a 42" Phillips plasma tv on sale for $1099 with no rebates, only instant savings. The ad says "minimum 2 per store" but every store in our district has ONLY 2, so act fast if you want it. It's "only" a 720p tv, but...

EBAY and HEATWARE feedbacks in links. All shipping will be USPS priority mail (2-3 days) unless buyer specifies otherwise. Will accept paypal (paypal is my preferred method). Not really looking for trades, looking for a little spare cash for a board for a new folding machine. Parting out...

I've done a lot of searching, but many of the posts that come up are about people using C2D cpu's and a bios fix fixes a lot of their problems... that doesn't really apply to me... I got this open-box P5B deluxe from newegg that was posted in the hot deals section. It is in a case now with...

...nothing would. Cliff notes: Millionaire's been giving strangers in the street money for years for no reason other than to be nice around christmas... that's all the story is about, but it's a kick in the nuts when you get to the end of the article and it mentions that (because he's in a...

but it'll be replaced next week with an ever better one! :D Decided this old s423 Pentium 4 machine (1.5ghz) is folding way too slow to justify all the heat in my room here where it's at. It's finishing up its current 535pt WU, then when it finishes I'll be shutting it down and replacing it...

I've got two of THESE. One is RMA replacement, one worked fine and one wouldn't work (laptop is spec'ed for PC2-5300, not 4200, oh well), so I had that stick replaced by newegg just in case. In the mean time I've decided that it's still a budget machine, so I don't need 2gb of memory for it...

I've got the opteron rig in my machine folding on both cores, the other day I did p1808 and p1809. As soon as 1809 finished, that core's new project was p1808. Then core 1 finished p1808, and it got p1808 AGAIN. Now I just set up my laptop to start folding (1.8ghz core solo lappy) and...

Shipping will be USPS Priority Mail unless buyer specifies otherwise. FX5900 XT (eVGA made if I remember correctly) paired with an NV Silencer 3 cooler. Was my sister's video card until I bought one of the refurbed x800xl's recently. Works flawlessly, was only used playing sims and such...

Let the opteron machine turn in the first work unit yesterday, got another one coming in in about 2 hours, and the big (535) pointer that the old slow P4 machine has been working on will be done in a few days, w00t :D

Ok I've searched and tried suggestions from past threads and I'm still not sure it's running right. I just started this folding thing today, I downloaded the graphical version, and so far after about 1.5-2hrs it's only completed 2 frames? The machine is just an old spare that was sitting...

I got my laptop today finally (ordered it about a month ago), and I've had this OCZ value stuff sitting here, 2gb PC2-4200... well the stuff that is in the laptop OEM (two 256mb sticks, got the bare minimum) is PC2-5300, but I figured it would still WORK at least... when I put in the OCZ ram...

Not sure how hot you all will find this.. tried to be descriptive in the title but didn't wanna clutter it up too much. I work at office depot, and OD is having a 3 day sale starting today, till saturday, I just saw the ad this morning on an overnight, there's a CTO laptop (Configure To...

Haha, first time ever posting in this part of the forum since I'm fairly new here. My main gaming machine is an amd Opteron 165 @ 2.8ghz machine. I just got this little laptop to take with me to school to tinker with in my spare time, play around online etc. It's a 1.86ghz core solo machine...

Just got my first laptop today, a 1.86ghz core solo, 512mb ddr2, etc. Anywho, loaded CPU-Z onto it, under the memory tab it shows 4-4-4-12 timings, but says the divider (FSB/DRAM) is 1:2, and frequency is 266mhz. Am I missing something here? :confused: EDIT: Just noticed, CPU-Z reports...

Dunno if this is "hot" or "warm"... let's call it menopausal hot :p Office Depot has a Toshiba M105-S3041 laptop for $699.99 ($749.99 - $50 INSTANT savings) and then a $200 Mail-in-rebate bringing the final total down to 499.99 SPECS CAN BE SEEN HERE I'm gonna buy one tomorrow with my...
