Sorry for the Hiccup

[Press_Corpse]

Hey folks! I don't know if anyone has noticed, but Ive been down for like 2 weeks. My girlfriend and I found a place and were in the process of moving in and getting all our internet/tv sorted out. This place has free utilities and no mortgage so I'm folding 24/7 with no regrets! Ive got my lian Li case and hope in the very near future to purchase a board to put in it and put my 2500k up to fold as a backup.

Happy folding and good to be back!

Welcome back, I'm still loveing it. Mind you, I would love to be able to afford a better GPU, for the Q6600 Rig I've got. Well in the mean time I'm sticking with the 8800GT. .. ..

Place is awesome, and I wish I had the money to build a monster 2-4 socket folding machine. Hopes and dreams... hopes and dreams. I still have plans on building the second rig to house the 2500k, Just need to pick out a decent board for it, psu, small ssd and run it!

How is your new rig doing paton? I havnt seen any updates on it

Me, I'm in to summer.... So unfortunately, The heat is a concern for mjy house.

If I get my expected raise, I think there will be a update for sure.

Ok, I'm not sure if this is the place to talk about it but since its been mentioned I will. If I cut a system back to the beir bones, I'm trrying to figure out what I could get in the way of Bang for Buck with just a Mobo, CPU, dedicated GPU, PSU & Memory. With a stock heatsink and fan. I can run the Core System components on the Desk I have with a dated monitor fair enuf, but riged up via Ethernet to the Swich the only problem I have is a OS. If I bye a Copy of Win 7, say 64bit can anyone tell me when Win 8 is due out or should I go down the Linux route beiring in mind I have not got a clue with Linux. Even then for less than £120, I would say you can get a Card that will be alot better than the 8800GT I've got at the minute wich is averageing 5000ppd as a benchmark. This biggest Cost will be the OS, and quite frankly I do not want to spend 70£ + on a copy of Win 7.

You can run win 8 for free right now.

Or learn Linux and use wine for setting up the gpus.

I'm pritty useless at learning Linux unless someone shows me, I think it would take alot of reading and patience. As for Win8 Consumer Preview " "

Edit: I looked up win 8 via Google and its a whopping 16GB installation. Would it be possible to install on to USB thus plug in to a Mobo straight away. With something like Universal USB Installer?
