we are both with Node, on ADSL 1.5Mb .... unfortunately we both live in Northgate, so our phone lines are on a RIM, hence we can't get ADSL2 or +

[chops]

Internode here.

1500/256 40Gb/month.

I DO need to do some cleaning out of things.

Lik-Sang has been closed down due to sony

[Nightcrawler]

what is Lik-Sang?

[Madaz]

Cheers Howie.

lol, I expect to be using my PC a fair bit over the next 4 weeks during recovery; go BF2.

might try overclocking the unit (p4 3.4, gigabyte mobo, 2gig ram, 7800gtx, raid 400mb sata HD, 9 fans) to 4000, havent gone past 3700 (8%) as yet but its been real stable and heat hasnt been a real issue

get a nice fan and u will easily see 4ghz stable

Nice Fan

ta man. thats a top link, cheers

may go for a better vga cooler then too...!

I went for a Thermaltake Blue Orb 2 (about the same price) and it is quite unbelievable - it is absolutely silent, is on automatic speed (ie. the hotter the CPU gets the faster it will spin to try to cool it down), and the hightest speed I have seen it go is 1,200rpm (still silent) and the hottest I have seen the CPU is 45 degrees when hammering it. Currently it is 23 degrees ambient, 39 degrees CPU at 830rpm .... quite unbelievable for a dual core X2 4200 @ 2400Mhz (4600+ speed).

Lik-Sang were an import export company of videogames. And in the past year or two sony have been sueing them and they have finially had enough and probably can't afford to keep fighting these battles.

Go to www.lik-sang.com if you want some info.

In other news i got to play the Nintendo Wii tonight and it is so damn good it's unbelievable. It's so fun using the remote and the online functions are awesom and well thought out.

Everyone should be pre ordering one.

December 7 $399 and you get wii sports. Which has 5 sports games in it.

So good.

P.S buy my R34 so i can get a V35.

[Nightcrawler]

I saw the black V35 coupe that Synergy brought in for their compliance (that I posted some photos of a while back) driving on North east Rd the other day .... unfortunately it was going to other way so I only got a quick flash of it. *drool*

If I had known how soon V35 compliance was to be available when I bought the R34 last July, I would now have a V35 in my driveway instead of the 34 .... but I had committed to buy the R34 when I found out .... bloody fantastic cars (if not very lacking in power) - even Jeff from C-Red owns 2 of them and absolutely raves about them!

im #25th on the super Pi mod thread

[Cubes]

Mine does the 1mb SuperPI in ~42seconds.

I'd make it on that list in front of the P4 3.15ghz by ~4secs.

[Nightcrawler]

I couldn't work out why I couldn't beat Steve's score - all I could get is 35.5 seconds - but then it occurred to me that SuperPi only uses 1 of my 2 cpus (dual core you see)

A more appropriate Pi test is the multiple core version here: http://www.hwbot.org/download/multipi-0.2.zip

I got 1 min 23 sec @ 2.75Ghz - that is the highest I have overclocked it to so far .... I will get it to 3Ghz when I have some more time to play with it! (For some strange reason the multiple core beta starts time at 30 minutes rather than zero - but I assure you it is not true! lol).

Everyone post up their scores to compare!

[Madaz]

to get super pi mod to utilize dual core u need to run 2 instances of it from to different named directories, then u can task manage the ifinity of CPU's to each program executable

i also dont understand the program u used i ran it any way

Running Stock

Running 4ghz

Super Pi 2 instances Stock

Super Pi 2 instances 4ghz

[Madaz]

sorry its Affinity and i ran again cuase on first test i hadnt set it and i dropped 1 sec

Super Pi 2 instances 4ghz CPU Affinity Set

PIC of Affinity

Tangles here is a group buy on a CPU cooler

soz for so many back to back posts

[Nightcrawler]

Steve I am pretty sure the program I gave the link to calculates Pi to 4M places, and utilises both cores to do it. When I calculate SuperPi to 4M it takes 2:42 with one of my cores, and that program takes 1:17 (now I have upped my clock to 2.925Ghz *and it is still stable* - that is equal to an as yet unreleased X2 5800+ )

[Nightcrawler]

oooh yeah I just benchmarked my CPU in Everest Ultimate Edition "CPU Queen" and topped the list - eat my dust overclocked Intel Core 2 Extreme 6800 @ 2.933Mhz - my beastie at 2390.5Mhz kicks your butt

And for those that play CS:S go do the stress test .... I got 146fps with my XFX7600GT @ 1,280 x 768 4xAA

[Madaz]

130.1 man your cpu really pushes that gfx card

maybee i should bring mine arround and see wot it gets in your rig

[Nightcrawler]

sure mate - we could do that .... what card are you running?
