    I'll try it next week, so that I would have run every setup for a whole week. It would allow easier comparisons...

    We _DO_ need more power.
    I have made some arrangements...

      Well you're both crunching faster than me now. And it'll be next year before I get any more power So you're next challenge is that both of you pass me before then. I'll buy the one that does it first a pint

                Of course, but saying it like that added mystery and evilness to it... I've convinced Dogwomble to join in...
                edit: it will benefit the team, of course...

                GNEP: Challenge accepted!

                My dual Xeon can run for almost 2 weeks non-stop during the Christmas hollidays. Only downside is that I won't be able to upload its data in that time...
                It'll be close...

                  I'll be away in California all December so I'm afraid neither of you can have a beer until you actually do it

                      Hehe... actually to be fair his machine doesn't have CPDN on it - but then it's not on unless he's gaming anyway as it's a noisy bugger. So there is actually potential for me to increase the flow if things get desparate and he's not around...

                        Ah, VJ, poor little VJ, donnow quite how to put this. I guess the right thing to say is something like:

                        GOTCHA! SUCKER!

                        11) Umfriend 10018.86 Netherlands

                        12) RC Agent 9773.11 227.60 United States
                        13) VJ 9451.75 Belgium


                        Crunching on today and tomorrow, I am quite sure the upload won't help you enough, and even if it does, it's just for a little while.

                        Meanwhile, this CPDN w*ore managed to get another 2 PCs, Athlon 2400+ and a Pentium 400 (LOL!). That must be a II, no?

                          Uploading now....
                          (it did about 16% on two workunits since the last upload)... I wonder...

                            It seems to have resulted in over 2000 credits... So I might jump ahead of you yet...

                            edit: My details say I have 11909 credits...

                            Woohoo: top 10! Finally!

                              Weird, the Xeon is now working at 5.4 sec/ts, and I uploaded less (approx. 2000 credits) than last week... Last week (with 4 units in parallel), it reported 7.5 sec/ts, but I uploaded approx. 3000 credits worth.

                              Any idea how this is possible?
                              (both weeks, the time crunching was about the same)

                              This week, I'll try 3 units in parallel...

                                How much time did it run approx.?

                                I'd say, 7.5 s/Ts is faster than 5.4 s/Ts, as it runs two instead of one, so actually 3.75 s/Ts. This BTW, is still slow, it's just a tad faster than my 2000+.....

                                I do sortof know that the sec/Ts is based on CPU secs spent/Ts done, so it is a bad approximation if something changes. In fact, going from 7.5 to 5.4 is quite good in that sense, you've been running much faster.

                                If you could provide better figures on how long it ran in both cases and how many trickles at least it did in these timeframes, we could see what's up.

                                BTW, I think the pervious time, you ran for more than a week as you were still figuring out how to do it.
