Well never done any distributed computing stuff before but thought I would put my processing power to good use!

So I have downloaded the GUI client and joined the OCUK team.. question is how long should it be taking my rig to complete each frame? Running at around 4min 15seconds at the moment is that any good?

And also how do I know how many points I am going to get?

And Finally!?! can I put the client on more than 1 PC under the same user name?
 
hmm I keep getting an Early_Unit_End error when using the smp client any ideas?

nope same error, checked all the services it wants are running and get the same error at stock as well :(

what would you suggest instead the standard command line client?
 
hmm becomes a matter of noise control with my setup :) with the one client I am still idling along at a nice low RPM's on my fans hehe 2 or 3 and it might get a bit loud
 
well been having a play around with my clockspeed and vcore to try and get a nice fast stable system for four standard clients that I can run my fans @ low RPM 24/7 for nice silent running whilst keeping reasonable temps..

think I have finally cracked it :) clock is now 3.745Ghz, 1.392 load vcore, got 4 standard clients running and temps not going above 55c with my fans at 1000RPM so now very pleased :)
 
I have no idea what the units are but for your info the 4 I am doing at the mo benchmark as follows:

2621: Ave Time = 4min 41 secs
3908: Ave Time = 13min 48 secs
3906: Ave Time = 3 min 42 secs
2614: Ave Time = 6 mins 00 secs

and have also done a couple of 2620 Ave Time on them = 3mins 14 secs
 
nice I will have to take a look, although when I have looked at some of the descriptions in the past I get a message that the unit is new and has no description!

I have got 6000 points so far this week started friday is that any good? Got another couple of the machines here at the house crunching as well now :) this is as adictive as overclocking :)
