I just got done with all the Critical updates and just put SETI on this beast.....How would y'all like another 3.25 hr WU machine....YEAYEAYEA

thanks everyone for helping me to build this beast....HAL RULES

BTW: Hal is the name that I call any new computer that I make because of the reference to 2001: A space oddessy and its underlying message that these damn computers have a mine of their own....:rolleyes: :mad: :beer: .

You should be able to get more than 3.25 wu per day, at 24/7, a 1800+ should do 1 wu in 4.5 - 5.0 Hrs.:cool: :cool: :burn:

[JeffnNetti]

think he meant it would do a WU every 3.25 hours hehe

[LandShark]

well, actually, a XP1800+ DDR should produce 'bout 7-8 WU / day depend on the FSB.

ur new machine looks great!! Crunch On!!!!

w00r ditt0! Up that FSB baby. Do you know the stepping on that thing?

[beau_safken]

I kind of don't know what you mean by stepping...Could ya jog my memory please? How would I increase my FSB anyway? I haven't unlocked my processor yet and probably won't for a while...Least until I can afford to replace it :) What could I do to increase the FSB or Mhz's.....I'm running like 60C at load right now so I would probably hold off until I get a SLK-800

Congrats to you and Hal! lol

Low 3 hour times are right in sight for you my friend, but you are right to cool that thing down first.

When you do get a better heatsink, unlock the chip while you're changing it....you will be able to crank the fsb up higher with a lower multi.
