    Talking What!!! Free Motherboards!?!?!

    Your kidding me right?

    No I'm not!! Our intrepid site owner and reviewer needed a room back and sent the Folding Team (and the boinc team) a bunch of new and or reviewed boards to help us push up our average. These are slightly dated but top of the line boards.

    There are also 2 pre-folding vid cards, I want some help from you guys on this, we will do what you want. We thought about selling them on the Trading forum for extra shipping money, or letting you guys bid on them here, or just send them to who wants them for shipping. Some help for the shipping has already arrived, but frankly it won't be enough. As I said I'll leave that up to you. If there is any extra $ we will get it out in the form of some help getting the boards running.

    the 2 vid cards

    The two asus vid cards look nice an en8600gts with a fancy cooler, claimed 10C improvement, and a en7900GS TOP, claimed 20% faster than stock, and includes ghost recon.

    Now for the good stuff. As I said these are very nice boards. 7 are sli/crossfire one of which has 4 pci-e 8x slots and an matx with one 16x slot.
    Understand that the purpose is to get these guys folding, gpu preferably right away and hopefully full up eventually. This will entail quite an expense for some, as the gpu's aren't cheap. Keep that in mind while ogling the goods!!

    Post here what board you would like, and when I close it you guys will have to work out who gets what. I know you're all in for the long haul, so I'm not going to get into the middle of that.

    One suggestion I'd like to make, and this is strictly up to you guys, is to fold the boards under user name Ryans Gift (or something more creative) and use this as a replacement for the AAF effort. The whole team can take pride in it and help bringing them up to max output.

    Anyways, on to the good stuff

    The
    Asus M2npv-vmAM2 MATX
    even has an EE processor installed (judging by the driver cd). this is the only non-sli/crossfire board, and it has integrated 6150 graphics as well as a pci-e slot.

    The rest in the amd camp are one s939, Asus a8r32mvp crossfire board, and 2 more AM2s, a nice Fatality abit sli board an9 32x, and another Asus, m232-mvp http://www.pcstats.com/artvnl.cfm?articleID=2022

    In the intel camp,
    The ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium, http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=2076
    and a Gigabyte ga 8nsli quad royal P-D board with 4 pci-e 16x slots (4 8X lanes)
    Also a Gigabyts P5w64 WS Pro, quad ready 3 x8, 1x4 4-16x slots, and an abit in9 32 max sli. also quad ready.

    Many features on these boards, too numerous to list.

    Have fun!!

    I might be interested in either the Gigabyte or Asus Intel boards. What you guys want to do about either selling them outright or me paying the shipping is fine with me.

    Nobody is going to pay any shipping between Glas and the end user/recipient.
    This stuff isnt meant to cost anyone anything.

    Re: What!!! Free Motherboards!?!?!

    to clarify, yes the boards will be free as well as shipping. Jiminsocal kindly donated money for shipping.
    Even the graphics cards. Since they won't fold, I want your opinions about them as at least one motherboard will be going overseas (mix up in distribution) and properly boxing for shipping all will be a slight problem. Maybe not much of one, I really don't know yet. I'm just throwing out ideas, The bottom line though is that it is the members call. I expect us all to pull together to get this right.

    Re: What!!! Free Motherboards!?!?!

    I just realized I have an am2 4200+ lying around (windsor core). While not much of a folder, it will be an admirable placeholder for any GPU folding rig. It can even spit out 1500ppd in SMP under Linux. I'm willing to donate it.

    You're up leroy

    thank you mr raider If it stays slow like this, I'll claim a board and take advantage of that offer. I've got about everything else, and I'd fork up for a decent vid card if it works out that way!

    Jim Z, if I go over the cost, I'll let you know, but only if it's significant, OK?

    Stay tuned, I'll PM the info to you individually as I get it regarding shipping.

    No email or PM enabled in profile I'd be interested in ram and cases to get my stuff up and folding. PM or email me.

    Thanks
