The first "rig" will be comming on-line in the next few days.

We have an AMD 2600 754 64bit system to build and get crunching.

Our thanks to Adyweb for the donation of £100 towards this PC and for making it possible.


Thank you.

"The Michael John Webb PC"

nice one you two, shouldn't be too long till its on the board

 
I'm out of bed and dressed, what more do you want?

I always take life with a grain of salt, ... a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila

I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out

One more step to enlightenment ... but which way ?
