Jonathan and I have found you can run 5 cores using 6.3.10 ... 4 plus the card. Cheers! I've been following your and Master Figdor's comments here concerning GPU processing fairly closely and would consider adding myself to the MOT team at PS3Grid if what you say is true. As far as I've read on the PS3Grid forums, running a WU solely on the GPU won't be available til version 6.3.11. Some users have stumbled upon situations where they've found 3 WU's crunching on Dual Cores (5 on Quads), but that seems to be an error and GPU times have suffered or CPU's have slowed down considerably. If I can keep all my WCG WU's running as they are on the various cores PLUS add something for the GPU to crunch, I'm in. Well, after finding a deal on a 9800GTX (still expensive up here). Also, are you setting up your machines with dual video cards (one for GPU crunching and one for everyday use) or just replacing the existing with a PS3Grid compatible one? Anxious to hear some comments from you both. Hi [gunner]! I suspect 6.3.11 is not long coming. 6.2.19 is the current recommended Windows level and Tweede-dee and Tweedle-dum  already have 6.3.10 running okay. |

Am I Dee or Dum? Wait, don't answer that. You can be Dee. @ Jonathan: I too can't get PS3 to run five anymore.  I still can't explain why it comes and goes.  I'm adding some resources to QMC and Milkyway.@Blizzie: Laddie come home.  We may have to send out a search party. Good Morning MOT!   |

Not sure that would be a big surprise DM. Imagine the US trying to have a common currency back in it's confederation days. Does the EU have any real teeth with it's member countries? Probably only to the extent the member countries support it.

Probably only to the extent the member countries support it. No ... the ECB has no teeth. A bit like the United Nations ... lots of talk and little ability to act meaningfully. Looks like the Fed's are going to be supplying short-tem paper now. What next? Maybe car loans (but only for Ford, GM and ... what's that other one )Interesting times we live in.  |

See you guys around. *hopes there will be cheap 640 GB - 1 TB drives for sale on Black Friday* So much hate. But then again, so much pwnage. I'm glad school is going well. We're all pretty proud of you buddy. 1 TB drives are already around 120 dollars, which is pretty cheap per gig. |

Imagine - no latency, no seek time, disk i/o at the same speed as memory (if not better?). |
