    Project Euler

    Anyone here seen or participating in Project Euler? http://projecteuler.net/ Basically, it is a bunch of classic math problems to solve via any means you want. There are 160 problems, and very few (~20) have solved all 160. I've been having a good time over the past few days plowing...

    Strange temp behavior on (very) mild OC...

    ... or is it? I have an old Athlon XP 2600+. I have never really done much overclocking, but figured, what the heck. To my surprise, it turns out I have one of the few 2600+ cores that was unlocked from the factory (I bought it new, way back when, about a week later they started locking...

    Any smaller (~32") 1080p LCD monitors out there?

    I know the westy is a huge hit around here.. that being said, I think it might just be a tad bit too big for my tastes. So, are there any smaller 1080p LCD monitors out there that people use? Something around 30-32"? I realize there is the 30" super res monitors (the Apple/Dell 30" etc..)...

    Conroe 6600 Stock Multiplier/Freq?

    I know the 6600 is a 2.4 ghz chip without any overclocking. In order to have the stock timing/multiplier, would I go with 9x/266? The motherboard defaults to 6x200, which obviously is too slow. Just want to get everything stock/running well.. :) Thanks

    Quick question for anyne with GA-965P-S3 and a conroe...

    In your Advanced BIOS features menu, do you have an option for enabling/disabling hyperthreading? A previous thread was mentioning that this option might enable/disable the second core. I am currently having problems with only one core being seen by windows, and went to check this setting, but...

    Conroe 6600 + Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 = 1 core??

    Having a problem with a 6600 + GA-965P-S3 system. I have everything configured (running 9x @ 266mhz), and CPU-Z only reports me as having 1 core. I have looked high and low through the bios (running the latest Bios version), and cant find anything about enabling/disabling hyperthreading/the...

    Putting together a new budget number crunching machine...

    ... for a friend. It needs to be kept under $1500, including the monitor, and would preferably be all parts purchased from the same place. So, off to zoomzipfly I go. Came up with the following rig: CPU: Intel Core 2, E6400 Mobo: Asus P5WD2 Memory: OCZ DDR2-800, Platinum XTC Edition Dual...

    Just sold my first print!

    Yay! Talk about a good feeling. Someone saw one of my pictures, and bought an enlargment of it (a 24"x9" enlargement). So, here is the first (and hopefuly not the last) picture I have ever sold! It was taken formation flying the summer before last. I was just playing with some of the...

    Chipped Athlon T-Bird still running?!?

    So you may have read my saga in the for-sale section. Putting together an old system as a temporary machine for a friend who lost both of his computers in Katrina. Took the old heatsink off, and to my shock and dismay, 3 of the 4 corners on the die (along with a bit of the top edge) came off...

    Confused about FSB speed on old A7V

    I have one of the original A7V motherboards. It says it supports Durnon/T-Bird processors up to "1ghz+". It also says it has a FSB of 100mhz (200mhz effective rate). Would this support a 200mhz FSB T-Bird (ex- a 1.3 or 1.4 ghz?) -Mark

    NF7-S and DDR400 RAM

    I have an NF7-S 2.0 system, with an Athlon 2600+ (barton) in it. I just got my hands on some PC3200 RAM (DDR400)- 2 matching sticks. I put them in slots 3 and 2, as per the manual. The manual says the system supports DDR400 RAM, however, when the machine boots, it tells me the RAM is at...

    Why do people remove the price when something sells?

    Is there a reason behind this? I guess it makes it easier to see what is still, and is not for sale in a thread, however it would be nice to see prices if you are selling something similar (ex- see what it has sold for in the past). I am wondering if the forum software will allow for...
