Any jobs going with you guys?
I'm running both P4s with -advmethods on and getting good WUs, 1 A64 with it on and 1 with it off - doesn't seem to be making much difference (although I've only just got the 3500 running properly*).
*I've been having problems for some time with the A64s.
Some of you may remember me complaining that when I set up the 4000 San Diego, it kept killing Wus and I thought I might have some dodgy RAM or other hardware problem.
When I built the 3500 Venice system, I used some of the RAM from the SD to save some cash (I had 2GB so I took 1GB from the SD), I also switched the OS (installed XP Home on the SD and switched XP64 to the Venice).
I started having the same problem with the Venice but the SD was cured and I was even more convinced it was the RAM. I tried everything I could think of. I swapped RAM and ran memtest over and over but could find nothing wrong.
Last night I eventually uninstalled XP64 and installed XP Home - hey presto, it's sorted.
Before I switched, it would work fine if you left it entirely alone but as soon as you tried to do anything else with it, it killed the WU.
I would run the Prime95 torture test which would run fine until I tried to close or open a window then it would go ****-up.
After installing XP Home, I ran Prime and was doing a windows update, playing a video and installing sound drivers at the same time - not a flicker.
The moral of this story is that (on my set-ups, at least), XP64 and Folding DO NOT MIX

PS: If anybody wants to try XP64, there will be a copy for sale in the Members Market in the next few days

Hmm, I looked at the EOC stats for Team 10... If you do the "Active Users" thing, we only have around 100 or so?
I'm 60th if you look at that view yay.

yay.
Well my performance has been woeful tihs week, all becuase I haven't had a >100pt Woo for the past 6 days. It's really begin to annoy me now. I've tried putting -advmethods back onto the Winny and Opteron to try and coax a 350pt gromacs into my trap but no joy. Ah well, at least I'm gonna hit 100000 pts today whatever crappy woos I get!

i was sure i'd posted a couple of news' ago that i wouldn't be listing 25K tiffy's however when i checked back to last week i have indeed awarded a 25K tiffy
(rolleyes at myself there)well 25 is a nice number so i'll add that to my official list and edit accordingly - thanks for the nudge, my mind isn't always working too well on a friday afternoon i'm afraid
edit: ok this is the list that i will stick to from now on
1K 2.5k 5k 7.5k 10k 15k 20k 25k 30k 40k 50k ..... 90k 100k 120k 140k ..... 180k 200k 225k 250k 275k 300k 325k etc
I will stick to every 100K for those over 1M as that seems to make sense

Nice one
My Christmas bonus - I get to keep working in 2006.
You'd have thought they would have come across with something - especially for those of us who were offshore for Christmas and new year
Stan
Yeah you certainly should have got one for being offshore thenBigstan said:Nice one

Nice clear LCD display for the radio station and you can pre-set 15 different stations I think it is. Looks quite stylish too. Seems good quality sound too.Certainly not bad for free
