It's ok J...we banter in friendly competition here ;)

If anyone has noticed that Bovinia is turning out ~0~ it's because I started a new name to fold under. In this past year I have had 4 friends dx'd with the evil "C" so this is even more personal now than it ever has been!

Thank you to the Folding Angels who helped me get the new name on the board :wub:

So, after a prolonged hiatus, I've decided to join back in the fray. I just finished putting together my new "F@H" rig, and should have it operational soon.. Watch out LLB!! :D

Here's a sneak peek..

That thing is just crazy. Amazing the creations people come up with.

But if you want one suggestion that makes the biggest difference on any modern computer, it is a solid state hard drive. I haven't upgraded my OC core I7 system in years, because there just is no need. It can run anything I throw at it. The old spinning platter hard drives are the bottleneck. Unless you do something there, putting in the latest bad boy MB, CPU & GPU won't do a lot of good. So instead I invested in solid state hard drives a little while back. I simply use it for the OS and apps, then a velocerapter 10K for storage. It was like buying a new computer. Cold boot to using desktop in 16 secs, instantaneous app opening and all was awesome. Also using higher end OC 16G Ram, Win7 64bit and tons of fanage....hehe. Though to get it's true potential, it needs to be a SATA3 motherboard. And for even more power going to raid mode with two or more SSHD. But that gets hugely expensive and risky. SSHD have at least come down in price.

Dusty I hope you aren't pulling our legs! Would love to see you back folding :)

Biding my time..too many summer projects to commit finances at this time. Perhaps in the winter, Bov!

Dusty before you post something that looks like below. Please pass out the napkins or at least censor it some... OMG that this is sexy.

The way that GPU folding has really taken off for the most bang for buck I would look at a board with multiple gpu slots and fill it up with 660 ti's. Right now the only thing I have folding is 1 660 ti and it is rocking right along if there were 2 or 3 maybe even 4 then it would easily pop out 140, 210, or 280k. Just a thought. I know at 350 a pop that racks up pretty quick on a build but the days of the multi cpu appear to be numbered.

looks like the CowsAgainstCancer are milking those systems for everything they are worth :)

Congrats Bov looks good.

And whoever the fairy is thanks LLB Way to help out the team and a great team member.

We are blessed to have such an angel folder for a brief period. There is another who contributed to help CAC get on the board too, thank you Nach :wub:

I changed the account name to take my ego out of it. I have a 2nd PCIE slot, the problem is that Asus didn't plan this mobo very well. With vid cards taking the real estate of 2 cards, I wouldn't have room for my sound card if I dropped another vid card in. Yes it's old...no I can't afford to replace it :(
