Yes, it will be using a standard ATX power supply.
Hopefully GOLD certified ? Preferably, PLATINUM certified. There is actually a titanium certification - 96% at 50% load, but only one PSU meets that spec: the Dell D750E-S2 which is only 750 watts. Platinum would be sweet, 94% at 50% load. EDIT: beaten by the devil

3) even very small designs on a large chip take comparatively long time to compile. By the time the toolchain reads the floorplan and pinout of the LX150 chip the whole workflow on the LX9 chip will be done. Therefore for the beginners I recommend obtaining $98 Avnet Spartan-6 LX9 kit. If you start with a full LX150 design, especially unrolled one, you will experience annoyingly long workflow iteration times, in the order of hour or two.
FPGA design is like playing tetris, chess and contract bridge all on the same board that is rectangular, not square.
I find this interesting, because there is always a way to speed anything up, depending on where the bottleneck is. I've heard that it is strictly RAM dependent, so does this mean that with a low end processor and a low end hard drive, but 1TB of RAM it would be fast? If not, what combination of components relate to the speed loss? It seems to me that they way to speed it up would be to use a very fast processor, very fast RAM, and lots of RAM - more than 64GB to start with.

I'm fairly sure based on compiling the comments made over a long span of time from BFL, that one or both of these chips are (probably unchanged stock versions) standard FPGAs that were spun up for another wafer run. I have no reason to believe that they scored an amazing deal from a distributor that had them in stock.

Opening more accounts won't help you if you don't fix the problem(s) that caused the issue in the first place. So if you have a strong password and computer has no viruses etc, there are other ways this could have happened that could just as easily happen again if you don't take precautions.
So do you have any other clues?

Probably is the worksize. Note that I said 160, not 150. For a negligible power bump, you get a few more hashes with that. That is assuming a core of 850 to 900 or so.

just can get about 333mhash when I set it to 850/150(I can get 410+before when I set to 900/300,big difference) still testing if it is stable!
thanks for all the suggestions!thanks
wtf 333 is wrong, you must have wrong vectors or something. Sorry I don't have rigs running right now so I can't check.

Anyone on east cost gotten their yet? I think my mailman stole mine. I would have let him borrow it all he had to do was ask.
East coast here, mine came today. LOOKS GREAT!! Nice to see my ad too. Thanks Matt! Yeah mine arrived today too. Sweet. My wife's response. "They got a magazine now" (WTF? who is this "they" and why was I excluded) Bitcoin Illuminati? Who said anything about a Bitcoin Illuminati? I certainly have never heard of or been a member of the Bitcoin Illuminati. I'm certain that they don't exist and that you're making them up. Just stop talking about the Bitcoin Illuminati already. Shhh

850/160 works great on 5870s
what's your core voltage? Anywhere from 1.125 to 1.175, i.e. stock. If you are undervolting, those probably won't work.

hagnahh … and Gox got me again. My cash is in limbo and I sent it when the rate was around 5.10 every other hour. Somehow I bet they will report my cash incoming when we see a 6. Last time I sent money to them the price was at 2$ and they finally charged it when we were back at 4$. I want a fast track. Simple.... BitInstant Ok, so how exactly would that work when I only have German and Chilean bank accounts? With my expectations looking at the totally vanishing market depth at the bitcoin side, I would really not mind paying some % to get money there *now*. Yeah, BITINSTANT listen up: WHY U DONT HAVE UROP BANK ACCOUNT!? BECAUSE YORUP IS ABOUT TO COLLAPSE, THATS WHY

|

Any type of Rosewill products really turns me off. I've had several before with really bad experiences. Just keep in mind that Rosewill is a generic brand for newegg, so you won't exactly know who the OEM is unless you open up the item.
Yes, some can be bad, but by the same token some can be gems. I usually trust jonnyguru to come up with the truth when it comes to PSUs, and the one good Rosewill is the 1300 watt lighting unit. Still, nothing can beat a seasonic (except rebranded seasoncs lol).

I'd imagine females are pressured into not disclosing their sex.
Not only that, but any seen around here tend to get mobbed by geeks that need a life, leading topics off topic as a result, and getting in the way of business happenings and distracting from things getting done. Usually it goes something like this: She: Hey, I have something for sale/I want to learn about something specific/etc etc Forum: blah blah blah She: <accidentally indicates gender, somehow> Forum: zomg a girl on the internets realz? She: ... <tries to stay on topic> Forum: <thread is now permanently damaged, no recovery possible> Really it ought to be: She: Hey, I have something for sale/I want to learn about something specific/etc etc Forum: blah blah blah She: <accidentally indicates gender, somehow> Forum: <nothing happens. topic continues as normal> NB: If it's a new or unknown user, a heightened sense of security awareness is appropriate, as usual. No need to yell scammer, but ask questions that scammers don't like you asking them: Will you escrow, will you send first, etc.
