Boo Hoo you didn't mention my tiffy....

sorry polo - over 100K i get a little more mean and grumpy


it is a spiffy tiffy though there's no denying that

 

[rich99million]

What does that mean..?

I just got a 1112pointer 2390, as well as a 2357 & 63 in the last 24 hours..

they seem to be back on there now anyway - the list is generated automatically from what work has been given out over x amount of time before each update, if the work server was taken offline for an hour or so for some reason that would probably do it - or it could have just been a glitch with that server not reporting properly for that hour i guess

anyway they're back now and shouldn't have made too much difference

 

[rich99million]

Wow I really like these news posts you do rich! Being new to the F@H team it's great to see myself in so many of the lists

no worries

though are you planning on starting a new account each week?
nice tiffy - keep 'em rolling in

 

[rich99million]

It looks like something has gone horribly wrong chez Bigstan

None of the rigs back home have returned anything for 3 days now.

hey Stan - any chance they could have just copped a load of 1112 point WUs?
my slowest machine seems to have picked one up and is taking almost 3hrs a frame

Even on a machine used to getting 300ppd these things would take the best part of 4 days

here's hoping

 

[rich99million]

when it's set up as a service you don't have to be logged in

if it's an Intel dual-core with HT then you can run up to 4 (as you have 4 logical cores) but you will probably find that due to saturated memory bandwidth it's no better - infact some people have even shown it to lower the PPD from that machine

if it's an AMD dual core then there's no point at all in running more than 2 consoles

 

[rich99million]

Joe I have used exactly that method to run back-up clients on my main machines - it works like a dream if you ever lose connection
