hummm.... it just struck me that I could probably put the quadcore chips in my other machine which currently have dualcore chips, right? �When I get home I will look at the other server to find the model number and look up the specs<div>
<br></div><div>Also, as part of the troubleshooting I bought <a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Galaxy+-+NVIDIA+GeForce+210+DDR2+PCI+Express+Graphics+Card/9539671.p?id=1218121172103&skuId=9539671&st=galaxy%20210&cp=1&lp=2">this graphics card</a>�for $60 (with tax and immediate gratification at BestBuy next to my office in emeryville).</div>
<div><br></div><div>seems like you know your way around these things, Brian... is there a better choice in the same price range that I should go for �(now that I am not in immediate gratification/troubleshooting mode). �Could buy it off the internet or run to frys.</div>

<br>My best thought now on playing with it is to find another working machine and start swapping parts. Yes there is a good chance that the motherboard is blown altogether or it will be soon.<br><br>Smaller case I disagree with as you want the space for air circulation. Some people are putting in multiple gpu boards. The speedups with a GOOD desktop card are on the order of 256 or better. Physics codes running 24/7 for a month are reduced to overnight. This includes image recognition training programs for robotics helps. The robot can learn in its sleep without having to hibernate for a month.<div>

FYI what I would do is gank the cpu memory and disk and buy a REAL cheap board and put it into a WAY smaller/quieter case. �It is still an OK cpu even by todays standards since it is a quad core. �It is still faster than most new laptops today as well (even the i7 ones)<br>

I have a quad-core server (<a href="http://support.gateway.com/s/PC/R/1014899R/1014899Rsp2.shtml" target="_blank">http://support.gateway.com/s/PC/R/1014899R/1014899Rsp2.shtml</a> �upgraded to 4 G RAM) that I am trying to refresh.<div>
