[slugbug]

Another awesome prize as usual.

[James86]

come on Josh lets warm up the spam machine.
still waiting for my card to come back from RMA

[Joshua_Mahr]

Yea I saw that too! Green eggs and Spam round 3!

[Saryn]

Ugh not another spam contest. I will suffice with my basic entries and folding. I refuse to spam the forums.

[Scott]

Well I like to bring the forum traffic up some. If I could get you all to chat more would not have to have the more post extra entries.

[Joshua_Mahr]

I will keep the spam to an acceptable level! (Who's version of acceptable idk) he he

[brokenwave]

I am in

[brokenwave]

which fourm is best for spam?

[Blacksmith1]

Any in which you can contribute to the conversation, even if just your opinion on the matter at hand. The idea is to get the fourm members talking. Except for Josh and James, they need no extra incentive. ;)
Good luck to all, now get to folding!

[brokenwave]

btw how do ppl check their monthly post anyway?

[James86]

Click on your name and then view forum posts and start counting

[Joshua_Mahr]

Pure Randomness is a good thread for that.

[Joshua_Mahr]

Hey.. I resemble that remark.

[Joshua_Mahr]

Hey.. I resemble that remark.

I think I broke the forum. My quotes are not working. Argh! And I cant edit my post..

[Blacksmith1]

Edit's are not allowed in the contest forum. just to keep everyone honest.

[brokenwave]

[Blacksmith1]

[brokenwave]

[Pablo 54]

Count me in!

[peti1212]

Please keep your posts quality posts and not just nonsense. We want to encourage posts that will help others out. We will not be counting posts that are just one word responses.

Example #1

Somebody asks the following question:
Which motherboard do you guys recommend for my next high-end gaming system?

Reply to the post:
Depends what you are looking for. Will you be using multiple video cards or just a single high-end video card? Will you have plans on upgrading in the future? What is your budget? If you are going for a system that only runs a single high-end video card, you might want to consider xxx product, or xxx product because of xxx and xxx. If you need multi-GPU support, and budget is not one of your concerns, you might want to consider a board with the NF200 chip, like the xxx or xxx.

I hope this is understandable.

[dacrazydude]

[brokenwave]

[Cody_Irwin]

I think I broke the forum. My quotes are not working. Argh! And I cant edit my post..

QUOTES On the forums can only consist of things I have said to be quoted.

QUOTE THAT!

[Saryn]

Been slowing down on my own folding too. Trying to keep the bills down.

[Blacksmith1]

Hello guys, Where is the link to download the Folding @ home software?
This is a good place to start. http://www.bjorn3d.com/forum/showthread.php/36408-Bjorn3D-s-guide-to-folding-and-FAQ.Tthe easiest method is to use the GPU Tracker V2 (it also handles your cpu folding).

[a1namill]

Hello Y'all, I for life of me can't figure out how to get the folding@home to work, Im running Windows 7 64bit, and I keep getting an error saying, A potentil conflict has been detected. Process 1040 is currently running and may also be A client with Mach. ID 1. Does anyone know what this mean? Thanks for any info or idea's that you have...a1namill........

[Blacksmith1]

It means that your windows is lying to the client. how are you running it. direct from the clinet, thru the gpu tracker or using teh V7 client?

[a1namill]

Hi, Yea I get that windows is SNAFU'd , But can anyone tell me what version to download for Win,7, 64 bit?? As i want to enter this monts contest, im running 2 XFX 9600, GSO's 764MB, SLi'd And a next to the fastest DSL that ma bell has. I got sweet deal on that less than $15 bucks for a year, & im in a rural area. OMGosh i could'nt pass it up. Oh my case is on the way, I setteled on an NZXT Phantom full tower, so i could upgrade later The inside that is, it's my hope to NOT buy another case for the "rest" of my life I recon im a wee OLD school,ish.Thanks Y'all... :keepfolding:

Fingers Crossed!! Hey just a note for next months contest, to celebrate the launch of SB-E, GigaByte Should Give away a X79-OC or X79-UD5 for the November Contest!!! I Really would like to have a X79-OC Edition!!!!

[Blacksmith1]

I'm not sure if they read these.

[Saryn]

I think the next contest should win me the FM1 APU for the board I won :P

[James86]

I vote for an AM3+ board and :keepfolding:

[Blacksmith1]

Maybe you guys should just form a line...

[gstillman-Stephanie]

I've never been that chatty on forum posts, but adding more computational capability to the systems I use is always a good thing. CUDA programmer myself. might be interesting to see how this AMD board would calculate using OpenCL.

[Saryn]

Need to bump up this post since we feel the need to congratulate winners from a year ago :P
