may the best cruncher win
I still need machine specs from Rich (excused because he's doing the news 
), Berserker (excused because he's a Don and can ban my ass 
) and Whitestar - no excuse 
(I've got the CPU info from your earlier post but can you please supply the rest?).
Thank you.

Oops. Cruncher got a bit hot there for a second. Fixed. 
Mind you, the little Mini likes getting hot and there ain't a damn thing I can do about it.

Stick it in a mini-fridge. I hear from the boys in OC&C that that works like mad.Berserker said:Mind you, the little Mini likes getting hot and there ain't a damn thing I can do about it.

As soon as i get some water cooling i'll have this beast up to 4Ghz I hope. I've had it at 3.8Ghz with only changing the multiplier, ive not even touched the FSB yet
But on air cooling it got too hot too fast.

Bleugh. One of my crunchers has started out at a pathetic 233 PPD
Mine's chugging away at approx. 500 ppd so far. Fingers crossed for those elusive 364 pointers (only for me though ).
).
Weird. The cruncher I expected to do well at this is getting pummelled by another machine. At everything else I've tried it's been the reverse. 
Wonder if, being new, FAH isn't detecting it correctly. That'd be a shame.

well it's always good to have a control sample isn't it?
I'll work on getting a nice overclock on the XP1700 rig and put that up at the start of the second week of the competition

Ok. Here is the list of competitors for your perusal.
Some nice rigs in there
