We need more Genome crunchers!!

[Pace]

This is war

Hey all you brits - want to run a raid on PC World? I've got an old warehouse that we can stick the machines in

Mwuauahahahahah!

[CHHAS]

Just ordered a cheap slot 1 board for my P3-500, hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow

[Bursar]

First up, I don't overclock. I just happened to buy some stuff from them and thought they were a bunch of jolly nice chaps.

My work machine has a G400MAX, and until January this year, so did my home machine.

Maybe I could sue Matrox for being so slow at releasing a newer card that I have had to buy an nVidia based card, and therefore damaged my eyesight.

In the meantime we're about 1800 units ahead of you so "na ne na ne na nahh!"

Well I buy nearly all my gear from OcUK, so should I split my loyalties?

[Bursar]

Why not, at least you'll be a part of a winning team then!

[CHHAS]

So nice to see goodnatured banter between competing teams, as we had with Team Anandtech in SETI

But still, you're going DOWN!!

One day Breezer may turn his attention to Genome!

I produce a w/u every 60mins on seti, how quick does genome produce units?

When I joined seti@murc I was in 26th place, I'll probably wait for a few more members yet.

Genome data blocks vary. Depends on the aa-length. For 99 amino acid length, it takes about 1 hour to do one sequence on my P3-750@825. There are 30 sequences in each data block. So it's 30hrs a block, BUT you get multiple WU credits per block. For a 99 aa-length, you get 30 WU credits. So really, it's 1hr/WU for me here

[DentyCracker]

Muahahahaha!!!!
Just figured how to get the Cyrix266 online

[Rattledagger]

Breezer, as Liquid Snake wrote, every block takes longer to process, but gives multiple wu-credits.

My current genome-unit has 58aa and uses around 13 hours to process. This should equal 1,3wu/h.
Seti on the other hand uses just over 10 hours on normal wu, giving 0,1wu/h.

Longer aa gives more wu-credits, but gives in my experience also lower wu/h-score. If you've not always/auto-connect you'll also get 20 minutes dead-time before the client re-loops. As a sum you should expect atleast 10 times the wu-production compared to seti, or for you, a wu every 6 minutes.

[Liquid Snake]

Hehe! WU every 6 minutes!

Yeah but by definition the regulars at OcUK are overclocking freaks who lead sad little lives and spend every penny they have on the latest fastest CPU We on the other hand are the sauve sophisticated types who go for quality, so while you may get more processing per person with your unstable overclocked monstrosities squinting to see what's actually displayed on your GFarce powered monitors we get the satisfaction at least that our genome clients look much better while they are crunching

Team OcUK are gonna whup your little bottoms!

You have almost twice as many memebers as us, and we're still ahead!

I've got 6GHz of CPU power still in reserve that I'm hoping to bring online for OcUK this afternoon. Then it's bye-bye Matrox, and likely to be bye-bye DSL as well!

Zoooooommmmm.</font>

Hey Narcissus...

I do have an old Engineering Sample PIII (first with 133FSB - but off die cache - cross between older PIII and new PIII) that runs stable at 133*4.5 (533). There is no clock multiplier lock, so it can be run @ any multiplier you can make work.

I can't sell it, but you could pay for shipping, and a small donation, and it's yours...

Hey thanks Guyver, mighty thoughtful of you!

But I might be getting my hands on a PIII-700 in a couple of weeks. I prefer it mostly because it runs at 100MHz, so I won't need to change my ram.

Furthermore, once that baby crosses the lines (USA/Canada), it'll cost me an arm and a leg a it would probably be held back for six months! Exagerating a bit, but remebering the days when my mom ordered her 486DX2/66 from Micron. Pure hell (not the Micron, candian customs).

Oh well, maybe I'll have acces to a couple more computers this summer... For now, the helix continues!

Thanks again!
Fred

[Guyver]

NP Dude,

The processor does also run nicely at 6x100, but I can understand about customs and such...

Our two way helix may soon be a 3-way...
