Its an option, but now he is wise to it I wouldn't want to re-install it again, besides, IT support staff tend to be touchy about what is on their machine.
Id rather go for the quad upgrade at home.
Cue lots of sex, chocolates, flowers and then "Babe, you know that PC I am always complaining about...."

I used the excuse that if I upgrade mine to a quad she could have my PC bits...

Of course I didn't tell her that I would then be running S@H on hers as well

Could you not set it so that it only crunches when they are away?

I do that on PC's that people will notice if the CPU is 100% constantly but as soon as they leave it for a minute it starts crunching for me again

If you can get a little bit more output you can keep up with 'Retch' and might have a chance of catching Diogenese when you get your quad

I'm hoping to be catching Kev.Morris soonish...

my quad has still got a little more to give.... i wasnt going to bother pushing it further but if you are catching me, then maybe i will have too

edit: Whats you seti ID so I can keep an eye out for you

GrandMasterD is my ID.

Got Deathstalker next, then gavsdavs, Cruize, Chasser, Soulfire who you just passed and then yourself

At the moment I'm only just getting more RAC than you but once my new quad has settled down and the missus new (My Old) E6600 beds in I should be looking at a nice ~5000

The E6600 is running a bit crippled atm because the OCZ 2GB Ram I was going to put in it developed a load of errors on one stick so is being RMA'd. This means the O/C is lower and is taking an extra 20-30 mins per WU than normal

Seen that your running at 3594MHz.... How much more has your quad got to give!?

Ive had it at 3.8 but it was crashing about every ten hours or so but i think if i tweaked it i could get it stable. I just havent found the time. I dont think its reached its max on 3.6 either.

Maybe its time to bring my oc'd opteron 170 out of retirement, the only problem with that is I think i would have to put it in the loft so my girlfriend doesnt notice it, cos ive only just convinced her i need my quad on 24/7.
