Your x64 Computer

Just joined, hoprfully my info will show in the signature I created.  Always glad to find more 64 sites.
Anyone know how to change your password?

I found it!

WOW.  Nice disk setup there!  Interesting Adaptec card you have there, why didn't you get a dedicated RAID card with some onboard cache instead?

The X6DA8-G2 comes with an integrated AIC-7902 U320 controller and a special PCI-X slot that supports zero-channel RAID. It makes buying RAID much cheaper, since my RAID controller doesn't need to have a SCSI controller built in. Total savings is about $300. The controller DOES have onboard cache: 48MB. Not as much cache as the full-blown controllers, but I'm not serving large databases with this machine--I'm only using it to run numerical simulations and don't want to lose any data due to a drive failure.

Homebrew,

DFI nf3 ultra mobo
AMD 754 2800+
1 gig ddr 400
ati Radeon 9600pro
LG 17" lcd flatscreen

1x 80Gb SATA 150 hdd
1x Liton dvd combo drive

3.5" fdd.
cordless keyboard & mouse [Logitech]
Epson Stylus R200 printer[usb]
1x 3.5 multi i/f for SD cards etc

Guess thats about it

Not too speedy but its all in an old Cheftech bit tower case thats had just about everything AMD cpu wise in it from

Skt A through to x64 and a variety of mobos from assorted manufs Asus, Epox, DFI, Elite etc...

Oh, its got a 400watt psu... the old one couldnt hack the hard drives I sometimes add to the setup.. Had upto 6 in it at one stage..

Cheers,

Corsair

Man, that is sick, I just googled your motherboard and damn, that is a sick setup.  Please tell me you use that system for more than gaming. :)

I use it for the following, in order of frequency of use:

1. Spectral phase retrieval and pulse reconstruction for extremely broadband attosecond pulses using measured interferogram and 2nd order interferometric autocorrelation data. This is an iterative procedure involving many 10s of thousands of Fourier transforms performed on large data sets. The more processor, the better, for this analysis.

2. 1-D and 2-D hydrodynamic simulations of plasma formation and growth from the interaction of above damage-threshold laser pulses with solid targets. Processor and memory are both big factors, here. Large output files require lots of drive space.

3. 1-D and 2-D particle-in-cell simulations of the nonlinear propagation of relativistic-intensity laser pulses in underdense plasmas and the interaction of these laser pulses with the critical surface in gradient density circumstances. Processor, memory, and drive space needed, also.

4. Writing my dissertation.

5. Games

Prioritization subject to change, of course.

Currently running WinXP 32 bit edition, i will be getting 64 bit edition in a week;s time

Thats sort of a basic machine, heck my requirements are basic no gaming, no music, jus some dvd burning and programming stuff.

Got a new machine in today.  An iWill ZMaxDP.

Dual Opteron.  Haven't installed the OS yet.

Where did you get the HostRaid drivers?  I have pretty much this exact setup but I need the HostRaid drivers for Windows Server 2003 64-bit.

 

Thanks!
