look again...

Dumped since news post:

rich99.... 659,898 - 656,977 = 2,921
joeyjojo. 115,894 - 114,134 = 1,760

It should be a 10K+ week for me all things being even

All I can say is well done guys. The lack of the secretaries has really told on my output. Doesn't help that I can't run the SMP client on this C2D as I need windoze, and the GPU client also threw a wobbly with the an incompatible driver version that I needed for games and stuff. Time to start packing my bags as I;ll get stomped soon

What card and what driver? The 7.2 drivers are meant to work fine with folding - though with no noticeable increase in folding performance hence I've not bothered with them myself

7.1 on a 1950xTx. I'll have to see if the 7.2 stuff works, or breaks it.

joeyjojo · 10 Mar 2007 at 12:14

Oh I forgot to say - Whitestar nice output! Made some changes to the farm I guess, catching up with Sculptor again

Well the 7.1s definately don't work anyway - hopefully 7.2 will do the trick

I don't have a chance whatever I can muster up

I could set up a small datacentre in my loft and you'd stay at least 50PPD ahead of me

see... told you:

Code:

T.Rank  P.Rank  Name  	       24hr Avg
10  	1,506  	_Berserker_  	  1,468
11 	1,560 	rich99million 	  1,410

I swear you just sit and watch my output Mr. B

It's a gift.

vmware.

See the SMP Guide thread for my SMP Guide [and the errors found so far

Thanks for the news.

Bit of a dip in production for me this week. I've been off work for a few days & have spent far too much time playing games, which has slowed my SMP output a bit. My home server picked up a 1498 WU and has spent the last 8 and a bit days crunching through it at a whopping 85 ppd, so that hasn't dumped a single WU this week. Also when I finished work last Weds I left 5 borgs running but it looks like only 1 of them has dumped anything this week.

Back to work on Monday so production should be back up a bit next week. At least I've got myself a shiny new tiffy since the news update.

oooh welcome to the 6-figure club

shadowscotland · 10 Mar 2007 at 23:22

As the man above said - welcome good sir *tips hat*

Edit: any one else with a C2D not running the SMP?
or is it just me

Only asking as their lots of these about at present

(alturnative to GPU client too I guess)

Double that and you'll get smp scores

For proof, the 24hr average in sig is with an amd 165

Stelly · 11 Mar 2007 at 15:30

not doing too bad at the moment

I think your'll find that 900+800=>your AMD@SMP

but got two 2124's now so back to 200+200=

Good point, well made

Still, it's more consistently good for points. I've only had these 1760 pointers for ages now, really good

Joe42 · 12 Mar 2007 at 14:35

It seems after many months of bad WUs there are finally some good ones again... my output is getting 3 times higher as a result, as most of my cores move from 100ppd to 300ppd.

tiffy for me
