Hadn't been home nor checking my rigs for a week or two. Noticed all 5 were hung ro EUE'ed :eek:

Have no fear, all 5 are back up and running on 6.00 beta-1, Linux of Course :D

I got stomped as well !!! ... NOT GOOD ... But I'm back after it now, should be up to full output in a day or so.

[EDIT]

Just a little fore warning. Mid to Late November, I will be adding some fire power to the farm:

Option-1: 2 Dual EXON 5350 Boxes

Option-2: 4 Quads Boxes

Haven't descided yet, but either way it's 16 more cores comm'en at ya !!!!!! :-)

I dont know about holding them up, but I certainly contribute to their Monthly Gross Margin :D I drink far to much for my own good !!

I'm in the Semiconductor Capitol Equipment Sector. We make an assortment of machines that Samsung, TSMC, Toshiba, Micron, Intel, AMD etc etc etc, use in their manufacturing of Chips (Logic, Flash, DRAM, ASIC, etc).

So all these new chips comming out of the Intel & AMD Camps, we saw the prototypes going through the lines in Oregon and Dresden before they were even announced or sent to test shops.

I would like to get my hands on them too, but when I see them, they are merely hundreds of chips on a 300mm silcon wafer that have yet to be cut up and packaged into the end product; Processors or Ram Sticks :)

Here's how the Silicon Wafers Are Grown ( I used to work for SpeedFam-IPEC, they make the polishers on that page, now owned by Novellus)

Growing Silicon Ingots

Here's the basic steps in the Chip Making Process
