I had trouble with one of my Dual-XEON rigs, 2.4 version. So I cleared all the data except the Core and the CFG file. When I reloaded / restarted them all, they all locked onto 1495 & 1497 WU's.

Thing is, I removed ADVMETHODS from the start up on my e6800 & e6600 rig earlier this week. Since then I've gotten a non-stop stream of these WU's where before I was lumbered with 21xx 3 day WU's.

I dont know what's up with this, but these WU's are quick, and healthy in the points category. May be worth a try to clear all the files in your FAH forlder, remove -advmethods and have a go at it.

There's a glut of 1495/1497 WUs. Everyone seems to be getting some. This happened for a while with 1496 as well before they dried up.

No complaints from me. A-crunching we will go.

Makes me wonder if I should break out the GPU or not this weekend.

Exactly my thought. I've just picked up another e6600 and x1950 Pro. I might set up one 6600 with 2x GPU's and clock the other e6600 for normal WU's.

What does one do :D

I've been getting them with and without -advmethods; I'm not sure it makes much difference, especially when there's as many around as there are now! Normally you have a better chance with it, though I've had times when the opposite has been true...

Same here - I wonder if KE1HA still has -advmethods selected one way or the other (since there are two ways if using the v5.04 client) :confused:

I ran the -config only option and said no to -advmethods, as well as editing the Registry to ensure the start-up wasn't throwing it on. In the log file, when the clients are stated, -advmethods is clearly not enabled or showing up now, whereas before it was.

I dont know, or at least have no data to support if the -advmethods have anything at all to do with the fact I'm getting 1495 / 1497 WU's, it's just an observation on those three machines.

Will let you know more tonight, as Im firing up the third box.

Edit: good to see the nosedive trend has levelled out again :) Over 90k for the past 2 days, keep it up :cool:

I have one 1495 but the 364's have always seemed to be quite nice.

The other one that appears to be new that i'm impressed with is

Project : 1166
Core : Gromacs
Frames : 100
Credit : 574


-- AMD 3200+ ClawHammer (stock) --

Min. Time / Frame : 34mn 59s - 236.27 ppd
Avg. Time / Frame : 37mn 34s - 220.02 ppd

And a christmas smilie :D
 
Good score for a stock 3200+

I just got a similar WU, the first wu since changing to -advmethods

Code: 
Project : 1167
Core    : Gromacs
Frames  : 100
Credit  : 494

Min. Time / Frame : 17mn 00s - 418.45 ppd
Avg. Time / Frame : 21mn 05s - 337.40 ppd
Avg has been drastically reduced due to gaming. It's between 7 and 8 minutes per frame really.

Edit: hmm not similar at all apparently :confused:
 
I did have it at 2350mhz with mem 1:1 at 470 instead of 400, though I don't really like loosening the timings to do it, think i'll see how far it'll go with a divider instead. ClawHammers are awful overclockers so 350mhz is pretty damn good.

I ocasionally play WoW on here but I really can't be bothered most of the time. I spend more time specing computers and seeing if I can find cheap bits for an E6600 rig :p

I can never be bothered to keep changing -advmethods lol
