Ok I'm off to bed - we're at 6906 right now - 150 places higher than when I summarised a few hours ago - here's hoping for a nice surprise when I get up in the morning - fold on :P

CLI Linux client, btw.
Thanks for the tip about the bonus points! I'm now getting 7250 PPD on my main machine.
Can't run SMP....
32-bit processors are all I've got.
I think the problem is more that you do not have a multi-core CPU. SMP stands for Symmetric MultiProcessing, which basically means more than 1 CPU core.
Oh.........
Better get my Nightshade-based server up an running then.

got my passkey in, we'll see where this goes :D
We're sitting at 6479 - well on target to get into the into the top 6k today....
my rig's cranking away with all fans @ 100% while I'm at work, should be easy. I'll report on the status when I go home for lunch in ~2 hours, before I fire up my lunchtime BFBC2 :D
Why is it taking so long for this? Is it simply because it is a big thing for the Celery to chew?Quote:
[15:25:33] Completed 46568 out of 250000 steps (19%)
yeah, my quad has only done 2 wu's to compeltion, my gpu's have 9 each
same here, GPU is WAY faster than the CPU/SMP
yeah - I agree there, my Nvidia is getting easily 5 units to 1 on the CPU
Unfortunately, either I have onboard graphics, or too old graphics cards. Stuck with CPU for now.
sitting @ 6017PPD right now :D
Lol... add a gtx 480 and an i7 to my list tonight. Social.....ur mine. Lol
Double post
Ok weird question that I think I know the answer to already.
I have 4 PCIe slots... Could I install the other 2 cards I have (Currently running 2 5870 in crossfire and could add 2 8800s non linked.) Would it work?
I have no idea, but i know that you can run 2 different cards, so i would think so, but you may be limited to 4x speedsQuote:

Technically, yeah, that would work fine. You might not be able to SLI the 8800's, but you wouldn't want to anyways. The only problem I can see, as slave pointed out, is that the power might be a problem. According to this calculator, your core system should need ~217W max, your 5870's should need ~223W max, and your 8800's should need ~153W (iirc they're 1GB 8800GT's, yes? worst case, with 8800 Ultra's, they would need ~280W max). So, according to that, you would need a ~600-750W PSU, so I think your 800W should be fine. Worst case, it won't be able to push everything and it'll hang.Quote:

Well I just completed my first work unit but can not see how many points it added. I am running just the ATI client though. Going to install the tracker later tonight.
We're at 6212 right now - and it's past my bedtime - I'll leave my machine running CPU on a Q6700, GPU2 on a 4870 and GPU3 on a GTS250 - that's all I can do for now - I'm betting damned good money we'll be well inside the 6000 ranking by the time I climb out of bed cursing the sun for being up too early in about 6 hours....
Night all :D
setting up my i7 950 rig with the 2 6870's.
possibly my corei3 with my 5870, as well.
might find some other old parts that would do well as well. you never know....
Unfortunately, at current it wont work with my 6870 it says. hope gpu3 for ati will be out soon.... maybe trace knows something i don't...:think:
Cale, download the FAH tracker (a few posts back) and set it to the ATi R800, it's working perfectly with my 6870 :D
Well we made it - a little later than I hoped for but hey, what matters is we DID do it - it took the EO page a little longer than I expected to notice but we're there.
If you click this link you can see our own EO page - there isn't a lot of information on there at the moment but that will improve pretty quickly as they get an idea of our production etc.... It'll keep us up to date with what we need to do to move further up the rankings etc and who's catching us....
Awesome!
lol...I have contributed one WU! :P ..don't worry, that'll change tonight...1090T, 2x GTX260's, FX-55, and 2xGTS250's coming. :twisted:
Well, looks like we can use these handy sigs.
468*60... follows sig rules.
Quote:
400*150px image or a 500*100px image
Please remember that if you use one of the F@H stat sigs, you will need to remove any quotations from your signature first.
LOL - yeah that sig is getting a little too long to comply with our signature limits
Biggest legal sig award? lol
Seriously though. I plan on changing it soon.
Speaking of sigs, it seems the law of cynisism guy has had his the longest. Ironically enough....
Had some difficulties with my folders the last couple days.... hopefully i should start posting points again soon
dammit - I overtook mDust for all of about 2 hours lol - back to 3rd for me :P
Just got the SMP client and GPU3 clients running on my machine. I'll leave them overnight and see how they do tomorrow. Running on a C2Q 9550 with a GTX 470.
haha. you got me by 17 points as of now. Crysis 2 is impacting my folding as I don't have a dedicated folding machine so I'll probably fall a few places over the next few days. Some of you are machine-gunning WUs anyway, so there's no way I can keep up.Quote:
