Oh Mr Lemonman

It looks like I'm in the unfortunate position of having accidentaly stomped on you as I passed in the last few minutes. :eek:

My production today has been unusually high, so a belated parp has had to be issued, my apologies. I've still got at least another 1000 points of credit that will land before morning as well.

I've not even got two of my new crunchers up and running yet, though the Conroe and the XP3800 X2 should be up and producing by the weekend with a bit of luck.

So apologies again for the belated parp.

Actually, I think the man who mentioned the electricity bill was closer to the mark. £170 per month for a normal bungalow is going some, if new crunchers reduce it by £20 per month by being more effecient at crunching and the cost economies become quite obvious.

Of course I'm addicted to DC, but I strongly suspect I'm far from being the only one in our team though (there's an appropriate phrase here, something about a pot and a kettle).

By the way, that's a RESTOMP!

I suspect you will restomp me again later today, as my production will probably not even reach 1600 today, tomorrow should be interesting though.

I'm also about to start musical PC parts as various motherboards, cases and PSU's get moved around from PC to PC as I optimise my new setup. Whether I'll have time to start this tonight I'm not sure, but it will definately happen from tomorrow night. A few days after that we should start to see what my real production will settle down to.

Overall, I suspect our race will last for another week or two, should be "Interesting Times"

Well I seem to be staying ahead of you at present.

It's been half a day now and you haven't unstomped yourself.

Lets see what happens.

I've got one system still in the mail, an iWill ZmaxDP that is coming from the states. I've got the bits from one of my older Dual Opteron systems (2 x 242's and a gig of ECC memory) sat idle waiting to go into this system when it arrives. This will then be my new AV computer with XP MCE and a Hauppauge TV card.

I've also still got to get down to some overclocking of my Conroe and X2 3800 systems which should boost my output a bit. I will be retiring a couple of the older systems though, so these will probably balance out the overclocking results methinks.

looks like your pulling away and my 1000+pts followed but 2000+pts WU dump pattern is looking relatively stable so not much chance of a chatch up, was fun while it lasted.

My production is looking quite good at present, even with the shed loads of 774 and 776 WU's I keep getting. I should be able to keep above 2000ppd from now on.

I should be picking up my new SFF system tomorrow (A nice letter from the Postman was on my doormat this morning) so that system will be up and running this weekend as well. It will be interesting to see what extra performance I can get out of the Opteron 242's with Clockgen.

It will be interesting to see how quickly we can catch up with Mr Bam0 as well. After this, we also have Mr Babyface UK, one of the other four musketeers who joined the F@H team at the same time as us, to see if we can catch.
