Title: My new machine for our team
Post by: Computer Hope Admin on April 17, 2009, 03:39:17 PM: By no means a super computer, but definitely an improvement for me and I'm sure something that will be helping the team when it's all done and setup. ;D

Intel Core i7 920 2.67 GHz 64-bit
GeForce 9800GT
6GB Memory

;D

Well didn't build it like I mentioned in another post. :-[ Short on time and was needing a new system so chose not to build this one. It's a Dell XPS 730X, so it's a Dell modified motherboard. But It's a X58 MB (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X58).

Post by: slidewayz14 on April 22, 2009, 06:07:07 PM: well I don't really need a new one,but I want an I7 system,being that ddr3 memory is at a reasonable price now. ;D
Title: Re: My new machine for our team
Post by: patio on April 23, 2009, 10:00:52 AM: At this point the rate of return for DDR3 vs. cost is still not paying off...
Me i'm stockpiling high end DDR2 for inventory.
Once it's gone it's gone.
Title: Re: My new machine for our team
Post by: Calum on April 23, 2009, 11:34:38 AM: I'd do the same patio, if I could afford to.
DDR3 doesn't seem worth it to me at all right now, the negligible performance benefit not justifying the price premium.
The platform however, with an i7 and support for more RAM on a mainstream/enthusiast board than most mainstream/enthusiast DDR2 boards, does appeal to me.
It's not my kind of thing though, and I won't be investing in i7.

Nice nathan! Slidewayz: why do you need a new computer?

Actually got it so my GF who's helping me out on some work on the site can use my previous work machine and not one of my later test machines.

Post by: computeruler on April 26, 2009, 09:24:02 AM: You found a girl that can help you out with the site? ;D Good for you!
Title: Re: My new machine for our team
Post by: Calum on May 02, 2009, 08:17:07 AM: Your new machine is certainly bringing the team up, Nathan.
Good job.
Will take me a little longer to catch you when I get back into folding ;D

Post by: patio on May 02, 2009, 08:50:35 AM: Why no client for Win2K ? ?

I have that machine just sitting idle most of the time although it has decent specs...

Not sure why Windows 2000 was phased out of the newer clients, but there's a link to the page to download older clients.
Hope this helps.
