What!!! Free Motherboards!?!?!

[Steelman93]

i have some cases, a power supply and ddr ram if anybody needs any to complete a rig. email me and I'll send specs

Hey you guys! The Boincer freebies are being mailed out tomorrow. GM, one is for you, so be sure to save something for Ned.

OK, 3 rolls of tape and 3 rolls of butcher paper, everything is ready to ship. Don't worry, they are, if anything, over packaged! I'm pooped. It will either go out Sunday or Monday. Most will go by UPS with tracing numbers. The international stuff will most likely go out by USPS, though.

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.

PM (private mesage, click my name at top of post) me Leroy with your info

Uncle Bob, can you hold that board, til a get an address for you? That way it will only ship once!!

What the

No one is interested in

FREE STUFF

All you have to do is promise to fold with it

[jedihobbit]

Alright already on the free stuff!! Might have a 900GSO lined up, if I manage to pick it up I may still opt for the mATX mobo if still available. Steelman PM me with where in VA you're located as I may then need to chat with ya!

Showing my cpu ignorance GM, when you say and "EE" just what are you indicating?? Worse case scenario would be to use the Brisbane I have for a cpu.

[TheGlasMan]

EE is energy efficient, I think. A low wattage variant. Have know idea about clock speed or OCing capabilities. Only one way to find out!!

[TheGlasMan]

Redid the parts list, it was messed up. One change in the first post, the x38 ds4 is not ours, it is replaced with an Asus p5w64 ws pro, a 4 16x slot board that supports 3x 8 lane and 1 4 lane pci-e boards.

2nd post completely reworked to be correct!

Help me out here, all these boards are getting (and keeping)* me confused!!

Leroy your board is going out this week

*not just keeping the #'s straight, I look at one and start planing how to build it. These are top of the line boards!! Almost all are 32 lane, heat pipe cooling, wireless, fire wire even a bluetooth conection (cant figure out which one now)

[Alheim]

this is such a cool thing.

i'd love to jump on this but i feel like the cost would be a bit high for me after the GPU, case, and PSU. i could, however, easily get a cheap/used CPU and of course HDD's and memory are cheap.

in fact i would be thrilled to do this if someone can suggest one or more solid folding GPUs that i could pick up new or on eBay for under $100?

p.s. this would be a good reason for me to start folding! i'm still crunching SETI. my signature is intentionally way-outdated!

[mr_raider]

memory are cheap.

I've seen 9600gt's floating around for that price.

[Alheim]

thanks. that looks quite do-able. any other suggestions?

edit: how does the 9600 gt stack up against the 9800 gt? according to nvidia's specs, the 9800 has twice the processor cores (112 v. 64). does that make it twice the folder? also, is more memory on a video card important when you're using it for folding?

if you can't tell, i haven't been in the video card market in quite awhile. that's why i'm asking you guys to do the thinking for me

[jedihobbit]

For strictly folding I would try to find a 9600GSO 384MB as it seems to have a sweet spot for folding and as these guys taught me here, you only need to ramp up the shaders clock to "fly". What you're looking for in a gpu is "stream processors" (correct me if I'm wrong) and need 96ish or more.

People over at eBay seem to have found out the popularity and either they're gone or I'd just as soon buy it retail. However this may not be too bad of a deal....http://cgi.ebay.com/New-eVGA-GeForce...3A1%7C294%3A50

[TheGlasMan]

At the Egg they have 9600GT's for 100 and under. These have 64 stream processors and 256 bit memory buss vs 48 and 128 bit of the gso which is only a few bucks less. 9800GT's 112 and 256 are just under $100 with MIR Guess the ati cards are hurting nVidia in the midrange.

Looks like I'm getting closer myself!

Looks like the 260's 216 will do twice the performance for twice the money.

Memory count, can't say but I would think more is better, and you are better off with 512 then 256 generally anyway.
