Well SMx 33 I figured needed a ncie boost in performance. I know... I know, It is so early, but with all the parts in the office being unused at the time, I decided to throw in a 3200+ Athlon XP CPU :) So I don't knwo if it will register as 2 cpu's folding for a week or not, but if it does that is why!

The 2100+ XP is now waiting for her new home!

    Indeed! In fact, if you don't mind my asking, how did you get the AMD761 chipset to run at 400FSB? That sounds like an OCing feat that deserves front-page article status... :scratch:

    I would be lying If I didn't mention I put a brand spanking new Mobo inside SMx33 :) So I guess I should have mentioned the 2100+ can ship with the mobo... so One of the older rigs can now get a mobo upgrade as well :)

    Well, it's not an impressive OCing feat, but it is impressive team dedication! Make sure you give Prof the mobo details so he can update the SMx info on the front page. :thumbsup:

    Wow, Sledge - that's quite a machine! You may even be able to get a nice little OC out of it as well.

    Your team spirit is refreshing, to say the least. :fold:

    Just remember to let the committee know what is an official donation to the project. We like to keep our records in order. :thumbsup:

    That may just end up being one of the fastest rigs we have!!!

    All hail Sledgehammer70!!!!!!

    :kneel:

    Just so everyone knows, the XP2100+ that Sledge replaced is being sent to Cyclonite to boost SM5 from its lowly Duron 1100 status to a more robust Folding machine. Once we've arranged the details, the other parts are going to be sent to upgrade another SMx antique.

    Besides turning SM33 into a killer-diller machine, there are a number of other rigs which are going to see a nice production increase out of this. Good man, Sledge. :clap:
