now all I have to do is figure out what to do with the beast :rolleyes:
The best computer in the world is simple my Texas Instuments calculator
The most stable by far :D :D :D :D
The best computer in the worl is an IBM computer and will be finished in 2004.
The pc will have the power of the human brain. Sounds scary, specialy when you know that the american goverment payed IBM over 150 Miliard $$$ for running this project.
There are allready different projects of superAI computer but most of them failed.
I know only 1 succeeded project from a sientist from the UK.
He builded a AI Chip that he build in into his own brain.
I dont like AI computers, cause they can become smarter as humans wich can be very dangerous. You can see how dangerous america is now with all theyre war games.
If you give such a AI pc to bush the end of the human race is near (its allready near with his foolish actions now)
Normally everybody should be able to build these kind of supercomputers cause IBM is using the ChipSet used on playstation 2.

About my computers ................... they are all build from old pc's just by upgrading the hardware now and then.
The servers are using the newest technoligies.
The only serious problem i have with all these pc's is the noice. All the vens in the systems make so much noice, even when i stand outside the serverroom and close the door, i can still hear them.
Therefor i wanna demolish all Midi and Bigtowers, so i can make 19" racks of them using the orig case they are in. This will be a hard and long project but will have many advatanges.
The good thing of these racks, is that it takes less place, extra large vens can be added on top of it, so less heat of the systems.
Maybe when adding some large vens at the back, the vens inside the pc's can be changed to 5V instead of 12V. That should reduce the noice of the pc's a lot.

For communication between the server i use a normal ethernet using IPSec.
For my clients and connections to the fileserver i use Token Ring.
All server are running Windows Server 2003 (some of them still a trial or RC2). The 3 Client pc's are running on Win2K (XP Sucks)
All that sh** listed above, and yet your website doesn't work! :rolleyes:
Really... u never said!:pQuote:

That's one bl**dy long list of systems you have their! Where did they all come from?
Well thats cause my DNS is registered at a 3The party at this moment, and im waiting for over a month now to change it to my own dns server.Quote:

Thats why i registered the .tk domain a little while ago.
My DNS should be fixed by the end of this week, otherwise the isp will get a claim.
Where all the systems come from??
Well i only bought a full system once. What i do is take all the good hardware from some old pc's. put in a new mainbord, processor, ram and hd. These items are pretty cheap these days.
For the unix pc, there are just some old pc's that cant be upgraded anymore (compaq). I got 10 of these P1 166 pc's
Next to that i'm also network admin of a small company. They also gave me some old pc's when we upgraded the pc's they had.
The Dual processors and the Intell 800 i got from them for free :)
But soon i will upgrade the network again (sell the old mainbord and get some new ones) But first im working out a project.
I'm getting sick of all these towers and desktops taking all the place, so i want to build a 19" rack, transform the cases the pcs are in now to 19".
For that i need only the panels to hold the mainbord with the cards on it. The power suplys and all hd's will be in serparated compartments.
===
If you want some good server yourself, just go buy a laze old pc that has a usefull vid card, sound, lan, ..... for a low price. Then replace the old hardware thats to slow.
You can upgrade allmost any old pc to an AMD 2Ghz 512 DDR with seagate 60GIG for only 250$. and i guess in some countries you can get it even cheaper.

You are confusing DDRII with Dual Channel DDR! DDRII just has less noise in the signal, creating a high bandwidth rate and therefore higher performance.
Just to take the p*ss... the 256mb version is out now... and that's also on back-order.
Just because you can't get hold of them, doesn't mean they don't exist :rolleyes:
Can i have your 9800 for free when you get the 256MB :D :D :D :D
Yeah sure, i'll wrap it up with a couple of spoons of kiss my ass! :pQuote:

Nah you dont have to bother doing that for me i only need the card and it would be a waste of your valuable time :D :D :D :D :D
I'm selling the Abit. new Epox on the way .:)Quote:

VisionIT: the only DDRII Radeon 9800 card is the 256MB one. The 128MB 9800 uses standard DDR. thanks. I find it hard to believe that you have 2.5Gb of PC3200 RAM but anyhow..
What do you store on those 720GB? :)
I don't blame you for selling the Abit, but buying an Epox ??? :confused:
Why do you find it hard to believe I have 2.5Gb's 3200 in my system? The dimm's were dead cheap when i had them, so i bought 2x1Gb 3200's and 1x512mb 3200... :confused:
1Gb + 1Gb + 512 = 2.5Gb :confused: ;)
512mb DDR's are only £12 now, and still dropping! (PC2100's though)
In answer to your last question... all customers HDD images are put in to a TIB directory, so I always have a working setup should anything ever go wrong... (never been used so far, i'de like to add!)
It's certainly not what you were thinking...
:p ;)
If you are looking for the 128mb DDRII Radeon in a trade/retail leaflet... you won't find them. They have to be ordered internally, or so i'm told!. If you can find a retail outlet selling them, tell me... cause i'm sure ATI would like to know.
Regards,
Paul.
EDIT: Sorry... 512's are not £12 quid... it's the 256's that are! :rolleyes:
My first was one of those HP Personal Typerwriters in the late 80's that printed out what was on your screen but you had to save them onto black disks.
Remember those?
The epox OCs just as well as the Abit, is cheaper, and is loads more stable. IMO they are the best boards out there for OCers :)Quote:
