    Since we're talking about AMD anyway, has anyone got an Athlon64 FX-51 chip yet? I'm considering an upgrade from my XP3200+ to one of those in my development box and I'd love to hear from anyone who has some experience with it.

    I run D2ol,Lifmapper,TSC,and sometimes DF, though if we need help in any certain area just tell me. I saw in the dc repository that we need help in bio science so i am hellping on lifemapper, though, like i said, if any tells me we need help in a certain project i can help. Right now i only have a Opteron 240(1.4GHZ), as mentioned above, i have a old AMD k6-2(500 MHZ) but it's going crazy right and rejecting the ethernet card. So it has no internet. Any more questions

    Talking Welcome to a fellow Lifemapper

    We could also do with a little help in Chessbrain, and it doesn't impact too much on anything else.

    i don't believe any of the TSC team is currently producing, i think we have slipped to 39th place or something like that

    ahh..good memories.

    My first AMD was an H-P K6-2 350Mhz in one of those maddeningly tiny H-P boxes. Ran BeOS on it for 2 years and it was a workhorse. Haven't bought Intel since I saw the (price difference/performance) light

    I always thought Brownsville was South Texas. Never considered Houston as South Texas. Kinda more like East Texas maybe but not South Texas.
