I just joined up for Cosmology@Home. I havent been following this forum much in the past 2 weeks.. Its been terrible for me lately in terms of personal issues, and also computer issues including accidentally wiping a 250gb drive with family photos, etc going back 10 years.. OOPS shoulda backed THAT up..

First impressions of Cosomology@Home: WOW even my old Sempron 3000 rips through these WU's real fast. Sure is nice compared to Einstein@Home's marathon 20+ hour WU's haha.

Though theres something unsettling about that single Phenom II outperforming all 4 of my computers put together :-P
That thing's a geek's wet dream right there.

Nice one Frank. I see you have the M3A78 mobo. Will that support server software? Reason I ask is that I have an M3N78 Pro mobo & used it for my server but unfortunately, it does not support server software as it's meant to be a HTPC board.


The M3A78-T is a HTPC/mid range gamers boards with 3 PCI-Express slots.
I don't know if it has server support
Where are you having problems with yours?

I upgraded server last weekend & WHS(Server 2003) installed without a problem. The Support CD would not install the chipset drivers stating that winnt 5.2 is not supported. Contacted Asus & received e-mail stating that the board does not support server sofware. I'm not really bothered about this as I've intended for sometime to build a HTPC - I just got the board for its cpu & expansion capabilities.

It has been suggested over at S@H that the version numbers of XP64 & Server 2003 are the same & that it may work - however I feel that if that was the case the support cd should have detected that fact. Checked back on Asus' site & found that the Asus A8N SLI SE that I'm using supports numerous O/S's including server 2K & 2003.

Will continue checking out the various Asus boards to see if I can find one that meets my requirements - mainly looking for a min of 6 sata with at least 2x PCI-E x1 slots, as I have 2 sata cards(PCI-E x1) providing 4 connections, & able to support server software.

If that fails, I will just have to use the usb slots for the 2HD NAS boxes I have, but I'm trying to reduce the power connections by trying to have most of what I want inside the case.

Btw, dont think ive ever had a 5k RAC on a single project, got close a few times at the end of the month, but never midway though.
At this rate ill maybe hit 200k in a single month on Cosmology.
Me likes!

Naw, just basing it on previous potm's where I've been at the top, only to get knocked off my perch towards the end. :lol:

Just over halfway, I think you could hit 10k easily.

Just added another X2 to the farm. Must admit, I'm sorely tempted to build another rig with the new Phenom II's, especially the 940 @3.0ghz. I don't normally buy CPU's until they are @ £120 or less, but as I've several AM2+ boards.....hmmmmmmmm


:twisted:
The Dragon Cometh

Phenom II 940BE @3.7GHz (NB@2400 HTT@2000)
ASUS M3A78-T
2x VisionTech 4870's
4 GB Muskin XP2 ram (2x2GB)@1066MHz
Win XP sp2
PCP&C 750w PSU
Custom Watercooled

I set it loose on AI and it's devouring the workunits
I should get about 6300 credits per day on AI

That tangle of tubes and wires is what I use for testing overclocking
I've had the 940 upto 3.960GHz for 3Dmark06
and a SuperPI run @4.020GHz
I'm sure I can get higher with a better CPU block

:shock: Dr. Frank Encrunchers Monster!
WOW!

Should hit 450k on Cosmology by the end of the potm. Hoping that in the next few months, a project that I'm not attached to wins so that I can run Cosmology again to hit 500K :lol:
