What about Denis@home? being as there are so many on it now.
We could have a week long competition maybe at the end of the month?

Sounds good, is there any interest from the other teams?

From what I've seen on DENIS from accidentally having HT off for a few days, it significantly helps having it on.

Unit processing times were about 16 minutes with HT off and rose to 21 minutes with HT on, but ofcourse the number of units running doubled.

Be carefull with the times, they are sending so many different wu`s with different times, from 3 mins to 21 mins might be easy to get confused lol , im doing a batch of 8 min wu`s atm but this will change

Well that was fun

tho i wouldnt want to do them too often

but anybody want to do another 1 sometime?
Shall we have a vote how often, which project, make our own or join in on 1 etc?

yer cpu are prob best, cheaper to run if you turn off folding at the same time as well

I just wish intel would let us use more then 1 5960x per pc but it aint gona happen , my 1 was up there with the big boys with just its lil 16 threads hehe
