@ msgclb

you passed me dude You told me to watch my rear view mirror Now we both have a long way to go till the next one up in the ranks.

It looks like I did pass you yesterday. I've only got about 3 years before I could hope to pass the OriginalCyberDruid and over 14 years to pass A novice1. I'd need to borrow RAMMIE's farm if I want to live to see either happen. Happy crunching Chicken Patty. :toast:

Finally got it up and running and updated

Just came in with 1200points, don;t know what the av ppd is with this prog. - is 250points per hour any good?

Also looks like my cpu needs an extra mV or so, bionic is pretty intensive

When I right click on the tray icon and hit "sleep" does that mean that it wont run? I'm about to play some L4D so I can't have it running.

i leave mine crunching whilst playing UT3 and it doesn't effect game play at all. Crunching only uses free cycles, so it wont effect the overall use of the computer.

setting the processor usage to 80 or 60%
then you'll forget that it's running

I'll quote myself for you.

I did my first full day of WCG crunching today and I have to say, it makes no difference to anything I do on my PC.

I'm currently clocked at 4GHz on this E8400 and I let WCG use 100% of my CPU, yet I still managed to play CoD4 with no discernable loss in FPS or any other ill effects.

That in my book is another good reason to fold..it really doesn't cost you anything if you have your rig on 24/7 as a performance hit doesn't seem evident.

PII 945 @ 3.8GHz+ up soon.....maybe this week sometime..that will kick out some PPD for the team.

You got to right click the tray manager and then >Exit

Then when you get the popoup, you need to put a checkmark in "stop running science applications when exiting the manager"

My experience with snooze is that it starts up again at randoom without your consent.

This is true too. My rig was crunching away all last night while my Z-5500's were pumping away at my party...winamp was a champ and 2 projects were completed. 54 deg. celsius max temp. :rockout:

This is true. I keep it crunching at 100% all the time and it does not effect any of my other PC activites in the least.

h3llb3nd4 · May 2, 2009

It only affects my temps

"Points" on the WCG page are not the same as "credits" reported on the Free-DC stats page. The way things are counted is a legacy issue from an older client WCG used. When they went with BOINC, some equalization was needed since the two clients count points differently.

The way it works out is that The "credits" that BOINC generates are multiplied by approximately 7 in order to figure out your WCG points.

For example, if you have 100 BOINC credits, you have 700 WCG points. 100*7=700.

Oh oh, now you'll have to whip out the credit card, get as many machines more, as you have now, and make up that lost hour..... :laugh:

Fitseries3 · May 2, 2009

OMG.... that reminds me...

i picked up a dell from a garage sale this morning for $20.

its got a P4 with HT, 1gb ram, fx5200, SB live 5.1, 80gb ide, dvd-rw/cd-rw and came with a 15" lcd, keyboard, mouse, and speakers.

123bob · May 2, 2009

That's a heck of a good deal. Even if you just use some parts for other machines it's good. Might want to check your temps when you get it crunching. Might have to redo CPU paste. :rockout:

Fitseries3 · May 2, 2009

oh it needs some cleaning. its got more dust in it than computer parts.

CyberDruid · May 2, 2009

When I first got up here electric was so cheap Icould hardly believe it. Then all these rich pelple moved to SML and AEP bumped us 30% in one year.

I'd probably have all the old rigs running but I can't stand the noise and can't afford the bill...
