The OEM Q9450's are available in decent quantities in the UK atm, tho they're selling pretty fast. The price has fallen a fair whack too, tho it's rising again as they start to sell out.

Still look to be twice the price of the Q6600 - well, at OcUK anyway

Cob · 26 Apr 2008 at 15:48

Well yeah they're still at ~£250 most places, but that's better than the £300 they were earlier this week.

AND TURN OFF -AVD you lot, that way your smp client will not download these lower ppd wu's.

Tried that the other day, finished the p3064 I was part-way through and have picked up another p3064 :confused:

Yeggstry · 28 Apr 2008 at 08:23

I'm not sure that flag is working much coz I've got it on and I haven't had anything but the 1760 point WUs....

Hmmmmm I must admit I've only had limited success with flags over the years 'set and forget' makes for an easier life

- stick with it anyway - at least your not getting EUE like some and there's a scientist somewhere waiting for your results.

Cob · 1 May 2008 at 20:28

I'm currently on my 6th consecutive 2605.

La-la-love them.

booyaka · 1 May 2008 at 20:36

back to 2 x 2653's now - great stuff about 4k ppd again! - need to get that average back up again!

Yeggstry · 1 May 2008 at 21:16

The advanced bit is the one you setup initially isn't it? I'm confused coz I've set that up since using Linux SMP and have only got 2605s.

LinuxSMP via VMWare has always got a shed-load of 2605s. Maybe something to do with the clients only reporting two cores per VM.

Yeggstry · 1 May 2008 at 21:31

Ah fair enough. I guess most people that are reporting these other ones are using the Win SMP client.

Works for me, these are nice WUs
