I just started crunching again after a year of inactivity. i'm gonna see if i can get my laptop on the job too and a couple of work machines.

A strange thing i noticed when using the PPD calculator, is that my lappy will get just as many ppd as my desktop. Is that normal for i3 vs. c2d?

The i3 definitely gets more points, It's got HTT I right? Meaning it'll be able to run four projects at once instead of two.

$580.00

Thought it was a pretty good price...

Where the hell did you find it for $580?

On WCG.org you will see under Results Status that some of your work units will say Invalid/Error/etc.

I've never returned an invalid result, but if you had one it would say invalid where I highlighted:
http://img.techpowerup.org/101229/wcg.png

So, If I go to my Result Status page the first two and a half pages are full of 'In Progress'. Why is that so? Why do I have almost 25 projects stating 'In Progress' ?

You can filter the results by host cpu name, project and status.

Also, sort by returned date rather than due date and the results already returned should bubble to the top.

Why did my little WGC cruncher logo under my sig go from two stars to one star

 

[(FIH) The Don]

if its under a certain amount PPD over a 28day basis your stars will go down afaik

but im not sure

Maybe they recalculate your rating on a daily basis. IDK. I've seen that too. It should probably be calculated in a way that doesn't change so often. If you are well above a certain rating consistently, it's not an issue. But if you tend to produce daily numbers that are around one of the cutoff points, you can see this.

Maybe we could calculate it once per week using the stats for the trailing 30-day period.

From what I have seen, a lot of people got them through Intel's Retail Edge Program (IRE) where certain retail employees were able to get them for $215. A lot of people got them with the intention to flip them, and although it is against the TOS of the program it's not stopping people.

I've seen 4-5 for about $600-$650 within an hours drive from me. Want me to inquire for you?

My i7 is estimated to arrive on Jan. 3rd. However, looking at the arrival location as of today, it might arrive as early as tomorrow. Fedex beasted the Chicago to Dallas route in a little over a day. Dallas is about three hours from my house, so hopefully I'll have my precious in hand tomorrow or Saturday (if they will deliver on those days).

Im not even counting on this stuff anymore. I paid for 3-day select on newegg. Tomorrow is the 4th day. Checked the tracking recently and it was in des moines which is about 4 hours from my house then it went to kentucky which is even further from my house then des moines. Look's like i won't be getting my package till the third either.

What the...they shipped it to KY...and you're in SD...I don't believe what I just read! That's incredibly unfortunate! Hopefully they'll start moving WEST instead of EAST. I mean, IA isn't that far from SD to begin with...

Wow...I'm extremely surprised it didn't ship from TN or NJ! To ship from CA to being with is a little strange. I hope they didn't somehow confuse the location with Hartford, CT!

It didn't actually get shipped until the 28th. Three days puts you at Friday the 31st (today) then a one day delay rolls it until Monday. Considering that "Northwest winds will increase to 20 to 35 mph, 6 inches of snow is expected. Low temperatures will be a concern as well as wind chill values of -10 to -20 are possible Friday and -20 to -30 overnight into Saturday morning." (SiouxFalls weather)

I think only a one day delay is very fortunate for it being the busiest time of year and severe winter storms in the area.
I live in Florida and had several packages delayed this year.

My i7 is out for delivery as we speak.

In other news, I've set my rig to 24/7 crunching status to make up for the lost PPD (low as it may have been) on my now defunct laptop. It's been happily crunching away since the beginning of this week.
