don't think it is EU, but Belgian customs restrictions on incoming parcels. Now if you bring that computer over in your suitcase they don't care. EU customs restrictions or US customs restriction? |

finally did it. got a good deal on the ps/3. next thing i have to find out is which projects i can crunch on with a wireless connection, not an ethernet connection. i think the boinc projects that the ps/3 can run require ethernet, ala the linux os. not so certain about F@H. |

we again interupt our regularly scheduled programming for a TBP newsflash: My x2 4000+ should be delivered today, to replace my A64 3800+. Probably be runnuing WCG and MalariaControl on it, 50/50. Hope the "brain transplant" goes well without complications... and now back to our regulary schedule programming |

Better be carefull around those black fridays. The cloud over the horizon could be a swarm of black flies or tornadoes coming to make your day miserable. @:^P There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't. |

"brain surgery" successful. "alta_bbd" a64 3800+ retired; "vista-voo" x2 4000+ created. next "operation", on "quad-cora" (dell dimension9200 / intel q6600 quadcore) is to increase ram from 2gb to 3 gb (darn those memory addressing limits of 32 bit os'es), and add a Visiontek / ATI x1950pro gpu. "Some" dc projects are actually able to use this gpu for crunching... ... and the ps/3 is in the channel, to arrive in near future. |

i'm truly a "frugal" penguin (in addition to being a "bad" penguin)... with "black friday" and "cyber monday" sales, promotions and such: the amd x2 4000+ cost me about $30 (normally ~$60); the visiontek / ati x1950pro cost me about $60 (normally about $160); and it's a long story about the ps/3, but the short of it is that it will cost me about $220 (normally $400). AND in preparation for the upcoming Intel 45nm's, I purchased this case for about $75. LIQUID COOLING, BABY !!! and how much do you pay for all these features? |
