Sometime soon I hope to start to make actual use of my new Laptop at which point my RAC will drop somewhat depending on how much I am carrying it around. 

As to the Athlon X2 that has to wait for a contract resolution (Earliest late feb to resolve then a few weeks to accumulate parts).  The 4200 according to some sources can output 750/day.  Between us maybe we can force Raven to go even faster.  :)   The longer the contract takes to resolve the more likely I am to take the next step up due to CPU price drops.  I still haven't decided if I will build it though, depends on other things.

The IT dept did not return the 448  today. :( So now I have to hope they will get it done by next week and they don't firewall me.

glad I have a BIG cache. It could be Sunday before I get connected again. I haven't been able to get anything up or down since they came back up.

I just noticed that 2 days ago was my 4th anniversary on the Taldren SETI team.

SETI does not appear to be accepting uploads at present but I did pass AJTK overnight and am now in 5th place.  4th will take some time.

The end of seti@home classic meant one thing to me, I would lose rank in the group when the heavy guns moved in to boinc and got to work. I may be able to stall the end with the impending purchase of a new box.

Yes this year I get to spend my hard earned cash from slaving away in the saltmine as a refund from fed taxman. This translates into about 2.5k--3k to spend on a spanking brand new machine.

 My wifes machine (1.5ghz Athlon Thunderbird) will become a tiny slow webserver, she gets mine (Athlon XP running just over 2ghz).

I have not even looked around for what to look for in a new box. My requirements are sli capable (get vid card #2 a little later) and mem....I have digital audio mixing needs (cool edit pro is my tool of choice) that requires considerations for this machine. A start to that solution would be SB Audigy Pro as the audio card, though have not looked for other cards that might be able to handle multiple analog inputs which is what I really want but is probably outside my budget= A Single Midtower case with couple 200+ gig HD and enough ram to buffer to allow it to simultaneous capture and record (@48k sample) a minimum of  24 tracks of mono audio.

Any ideas you have to point me in the right place or suggestions as what look for outside the dream "studio in a box" for about 2.5k-3kish would be appreciated.

What ever I wind picking up will be running boinc and up my RAC, it will of course be faster than what I have now.


That will keep me far ahead of that founder of the blue plague AJTK!!!
It was starting to bother me, a green blooded romulan, would be passed by one of those of the vile Federation, especially a known war criminal and threat to galactic stability and prosperity as those of the blue plague. 

Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand
Says "don't you see?"
Gotta make it somehow
On the dreams you still believe
Don't give it up
You got an empty cup
Only love can fill

If your looking for a chip that will have power for anything you plan to use it on for a couple of years or more you can't go wrong with any of the dual core chips offered by either Intel or AMD.  As a bonus they are all reputed to do very well on BOINC. 

Personally I would target a chip with 1 mb of L2 per core rather than the lower 512kb per core versions.

Stage Two is now complete.

Should be another "slight" uppage in WUs.

Good going.  That should quickly shoot you up to #4 on RAC.

The server was having "issues" for a few hours today so I wouldn't worry much until tomorrow some time.
