help - i need to save out my install

[FoBoT]

:help:

i have SoB on two XP boxen that i need to blow away and install 2000 server onto, how do i save my work/client/install so i can put it back on after the new OS is installed?

i know i saw it listed somewhere, something about the registry, i am off to check the Ars TPR FAQ's , but if somebody see's this and can help, i would appreciate it

thank you

:help:

[FoBoT]

here is what i am trying

i saved the whole \program files\sb folder to my thumb drive, then in the registry, i exported the entire \HKLM\Software\LhDn\sob key to a .reg file and saved that in the same folder on my thumb drive

we'll see in a couple hours if this works, there are some threads on the "fficial" forum that it does, wish me luck, one of them only had about 15 blocks left!!

[PCZ]

Did it work ?

[FoBoT]

yes

i did a normal install
then overcopied by old directory, then ran the .reg key
and fired it up

a-ok :thumbs:

now if i could just figure out RRAS (well, just the R part anyway) on w2k3 connecting different subnets :bonk:

i gave up and connected a wireless modem to the server :dunno:

Don't you want to come and play for a while.

I just put my XP box on it :) SB17 v1.1.0 right?

This boxen doesn't like the Climate Prediction client and locked up
It just locked up on Folding@Home3...
Does fine with DF and DNET clients and everything else I want to run.

Running it at 179 fsb = 2250GHz which could be the cause...
I know the SATA Raid with twin Raptor 10,000 rpm drives doesn't like it when it locks up.
It's rebuilding the mirror again ...

[PCZ]

Looks like you have overclocked too far.
yes the client is v1.1.0

I think you will have to reduce the overclock this client is highly optimized and uses SSE2. I have found SSE2 to be the overclocked Athlons achillies heel.

XP2600 using 12.5x multiplier and DDR3200
At 179 fsb ~300,000 cEMs/sec
At 176 fsb ~287,000 cEMs/sec

Oh, and when are you going to put some real hounds on that OGR rabbit? ;)

What are you using to capture the screenshots ?

Paste it into your favorite graphics program, file save as...

SHIFT-PrintScreen does the whole desktop...

That capture program makes large files, and only .BMP :(
/me hugs Thumbs+ :D


And... what are you running them BEASTS on to get that kind of output????
Details!!!! :D

[rsbriggs]

I just use ALT-Printscreen to copy the current window to the clipboard, then paste it where I want it. In this case, to a paint program so I can save it compressed as a .jpg file... and CTL-Printscreen captures the entire screen to the clipboard....

Doh - IB strikes again. I'm going to have to start typing faster.

P4 2.8 mild overclock to 2.94 mhz 140mhz bus speed

[IronBits]

What motherboard/HSF/RAM ????
Intel Pentium 4 / 3.0CGHz 512k socket 478 Hyper Threading Technology 800 MHz FSB - OEM
Specifications:
CPU: 3.0GHz
Type: Pentium 4 Northwood
Cache: 512K
BUS: 800 Mhz
Socket: 478

[PCZ]

P4's really shine when you run properly optimized code.
I wish Howard would optimize the DF code a bit

rdram or dual channel DDR is required to see the sort of figures that rsbriggs and myself have demonstrated.

Is it ok to leave Transmit intermediate blocks ticked.
I like to see the constant updates but am wondering if it slows down the overall output a bit ?

[rsbriggs]

:confused: Maybe I'm not understanding, IB... What are you running on the other half of the HT processor?

[IronBits]

/me spells it all out
If I were to buy a
Intel Pentium 4 / 3.0CGHz 512k socket 478 Hyper Threading Technology 800 MHz FSB - OEM
Specifications:
CPU: 3.0GHz
Type: Pentium 4 Northwood
Cache: 512K
BUS: 800 Mhz
Socket: 478
What motherboard/HSF/RAM should I get ?
Or is there a better price/performance solution for Intel product?

The 3.2 Ghz P4 processor is around $700, the 3.0 is a little cheaper. The curious thing is, I bought my 3.2 Ghz HT system from Dell, on one of their "good deal days", complete for $548. Case, 80Gb HD, 256 Mb RAM, Intel 875 based MoBo. I think the motherboard has RAID and SATA on board, but I just went with the 80 GB IDE - it was a free upgrade from the normal 40 GB IDE drive...

This site watches the current days bargains at lots of places:

http://www.gotapex.com/deals.php

There was some deal they had up from Dell with 2.4 Ghz processor and 17" Flat panel on Friday - didn't pay much attention. Just watch that site for a week or two and something too good to pass up will come along. I had to quit surfing to it in the mornings, it was getting too expensive, especially towards the end of the month when Dell does their real bargains - trying to make their monthly sales numbers, I guess....

You need one of these asus (http://www.asus.com/products/mb/socket478/p4c800-d/overview.htm)

I would recommend you get a retail P4 rather than OEM as it will come with a decent heatsink as standard.

Warning the fan is variable speed and can get very noisy at 8000 rpm !

You will need 2 sticks of decent quality ddr 400.

$180 for the mobo ...
$383 for the 3 GHz proc :scared:
But it does look schweet...

Go figure... I stopped the SOB :) 17 and now it's hitting 303,000+ cEMs/sec

[IronBits]

Instead of the Intel road, I could just wait for the Opteron/AMD64 et al. ;)

Let me see... 940 pins or 939 pins or 740 pins :scratch:

[PCZ]

Or one of these (http://www.asus.com/products/server/srv-mb/pc-dl/overview.htm)

[IronBits]

Stop it! :cry: Fantastic mobo from Asus again! :cheers:

I just checked dabs.com a UK online retailer and those boards are in stock.

The XEON CPU's are a bit pricey though.
I have this really strong must have feeling at the moment.
