There's something you can download to change it at the click of a button, but I can't remember what it's called.  >_<  Sorry.

Do you mean acpi-cpufreq?

We gave an interest free loan to a customer & hopefully we will be getting 10%interest gratuity. That 10% will be our first revenue/income/profit !

Is the borrower obligated to give that 10%? What happens if they don't? I thought the whole business about being interest-free is that the recipient of the benevolent loan (qardhul 7asanah) provides the gratuity at their absolute discretion and as a token of goodwill. How did you arrive at that 10% figure?

Another remarkable thing about the announced ventures are the huge equity stakes by IBB.

Just seems to me that if I'm really invested in what I'm doing, I'd think really hard before parting with even 1% of equity. Not to rain on anyone's parade, I'm just wondering aloud.

I'd really like to invest. I'm hoping that the musharakaat ventures announced are more than just monetary injections.

In the best spirit of venture capitalism there's mutual sharing of business experience, invaluable advice, referrals and introductions. Two minds are better one.

Why not use Ebay...you can state that you accept Bitcoin and the buyer and the seller get confirmation of payment...or just use craigslist(someone already stated this, but I'm re-emphasizing)...

Why not use Ebay? Because Ebay owns paypal and paypal already recognizes bitcoin as a direct competitor to be squelched.

I'd be surprised if your bitcoin-accepting ebay listings don't get banned.

I wonder how these people on the forum made it to 400MHash/s. Even with only one single card, my GPU simply freezes when I push it to 365MHash/s at 1.2V 925MHz core

You sure it's worth it? I get 350MH/s on stock voltage with only 850MHz core. What's the stock voltage on your GPU?
What temperatures are you seeing?

Most of those services seem to require some sort of information to create an account.  My plan (for the BitCoin side anyway) is to have it be completely anonymous, no need for e-mail address or submitting even a username/password form.

I might be interested. Anonymity aside, if you can make it really fuss-free to get an account that'll be a real win.

I think the viability of such a venture depends largely on the marketing. Can you communicate the uniqueness
of your service effectively to a sufficiently large number of potential customers?

can the 1ghz handle 4x5850s?

For a dedicated rig, you want the cheapest processor to maximize your return. As someone
already mentioned, semprons are fine. Mining is entirely GPU-bottlenecked. Even a 1GHz
will idle > 99% of the time, only problem being that they don't manufacture them any more
for the current slate of mining-effective mobos.

Re: GPU fan noise

Just wondering what everyones experiences are with the fan noises of graphics cards
(... snip ...)
Also any suggestions on quite ones as my wife wants me to build her a PC which I rekon I can put 2 cards in

If you really care about noise you'd probably have to get custom GPU coolers and they're not exactly cheap.
The advantage is the larger heatsinks and better fans (check out the reviews).

Plus, some assembly required, very similar to changing out the heatsink on a CPU:
clean out the old thermal paste, apply new paste, making sure to NOT over do it.

Is it safe to use second PSU to power GPU? Should I turn on PC first and then turn on PSU for GPU? Or in the reverse sequence?

I normally do both simultaneously; make it seem as if I have a single big PSU.

Sapphire 6850 100315L 250Mh/s @  930 / 830  BFI_INT  VECTORS AGGRESSION=13 -k phatk -v FASTLOOP=false For some odd reason memory clock will not go more than 100 Mhz less than core clock, if set lower it defaults to stock 1000Mhz memory clock
Sapphire 6950 2gb Dirt 3  340 Mh/z 850 / 725 BFI_INT VECTORS AGGRESSION=7 -k phatk DEVICE=0 -v FASTLOOP This card only allows the memory to be downclocked to a difference of -125Mhz or it defaults to stock mem clocks(1250Mhz)

I'd fix that memory clock if I were you. I'm running LinuxCoin on 5850's and have no problems downclocking memory. Be sure to set all 3 low/mid/high power levels to 300 memclock. If you post the .ovdr you're using maybe we could diagnose.

My whole rig(Phenom 965 + 2GPU's) Pulls 470w from wall when mining, when idle I am at 160w. I just wish Linux coin had a CPU down clock utility like PhenomMSRtweaker so I could force my AMD CPU in the most idle p-state and save some more electricity.

By the way, anyone know of a good linux AMD CPU control utility like PhenomMSRtweaker?

How many watts do you save with CPU downclocking? Never considered it myself.

Should be able to get 350MH/s on a 5850. I do on mine with no overvoltage and mild overclocking. Make sure you use the diapolo kernels.

Got some 5850's only a few weeks ago. About USD 150 equivalent, but yes, I'm outside the states.
