P1499 - new 364 pointer?

rich99million · 19 Dec 2006 at 23:35

I thought the 364 pointers were drying up again but my Barton machine has just picked up a new one - P1499
The machine is running -advmethods and large WUs, only just started so no ETA yet but it should be identical to the P1495 according to the projects page

Oh also the Sapphire AGP X1950 Pro 512MB is now in stock on OcUK - anyone fancy buying me one for crimbo so I can give it a test?

Overclock it fool

My min time for p1495:
Min. Time / Frame : 9mn 05s - 577.06 ppd

That's quite some clocking for an X2-3800

Mine's at 2.4GHz though I guess the ram could be tightened up more

Min. Time / Frame : 14mn 26s - 363.16 ppd
Avg. Time / Frame : 14mn 37s - 358.60 ppd

It's the opty, sorry for confusion. 3ghz

ahh right - well that explains it then

The 1MB cache probably helps a fair bit with these WUs too

I'm not convinced -advmethods makes any difference at all. My processors without it set are picking up 1499s just like those with it.

They may have put these on general release now in which case you would be able to pick them up without using -advmethods. When WUs are fresh out of Beta they are usually run under -advmethods for a while to give a larger number of clients a chance to show up any problems before they are put on general release for everyone.
