    there might be something to this android crunching on WCG

    I've done some efficiency tests on work units on WCG and the my nexus 4 (snapdragon s4) consumes 4.8 watts when the battery isn't charging. The credits I get are twice what I get per watt on my core 2 duo laptop underclocked and undervolted. Now I gotta see if this nexus 4 can be undervolted...

    Anyone crunching with professional graphics cards?

    Are they better or worse at price for ppd? How about for double precision projects like Milkyway@home?

    AMD/ATI GPU Musical Chairs

    Anyone else having reliability issues with POEM and WCG? I'd end up with no workunits for hours at a time so I added Einstein for my 5770/6770 cards and Milkyway for my 4770s

    Giving up on Correlizer

    I've been doing a combination of Correlizer, Milkyway, and Collatz up until now. Should I switch all my resources (including GPU) to POEM@HOME? :cool: I have 20 CPU cores, 7 ATI HD 4770s, a GT520 on a Mac, a HD 6550m, and a HD 6520G (part of the A6-3420m APU)

    milkyway@home ati/amd app using 0.60 CPU now?

    This is the reason I don't do PrimeGrid on my GPU. Is there any way to make it go back to using 0.01 CPU like it used to or do I have to switch to Collatz

    No More Correlizer Beta!

    Seems they've come out with Correlizer Applications 1.07 which is the same app. http://svahesrv2.bioquant.uni-heidelberg.de/correlizer/forum_thread.php?id=48 "The 'Correlizer Applications' are the tested 'Correlizer Beta Applications' and should be used instead of the 'BioMedical Genome...

    why did AMD leave the Phenom II CPU-NB at 2GHz?

    I see all kinds of gaming benchmarks showing that overclocking CPU-NB does more for performance than overclocking the CPU speed (at least clock for clock) 4GHz Phenom II loses to Core2Quads because those bench markers left CPU-NB at default My Phenom II at 3.95GHz would never lose to a 3.95GHz...

    Does RAM affect CPU Time?

    hello all! My Phenom II X4 @ 3.946MHz with 8 GB of DDR3-1600 RAM in Windows 7 64-bit does correlizer work units in half the time of a Mac Mini 2010 with Core 2 Duo Penryn 2.4 GHz with 2 GB of DDR-1066 RAM in Windows XP 32-bit. Does the CPU alone account for this difference? Will adding...

    How many computers have you had in the past 5 years?

    I see all these people talking about how they don't want to upgrade their computer again in 2 years or 3 years or blah blah blah. Personally, I think it's BS but you guys can prove me wrong with the facts. Since June 2000, how many different computers have you cycled through? If you only had...

    Transmeta Efficeon TM8800 1.6ghz vs. Dothan 1.2ghz

    This is basically the Sharp Actius MP30P vs. SONY VAIO VGN-T350P/L or any other sub-3.5 lb notebook. I don't want anything over 3.5lbs since I will also have a desktop for my main uses.

    Any reports on Pentium D overclockability?

    Hey guys, anyone hear anything on how well the Pentium D's overclock? I'll use my own cooling of course (who in their right mind would overclock an intel with their stock hs/fans?) and I thought I'd look into these since the AMD X2's start at a higher price point. Thanks :)

    What do you guys think of Koolance?

    I just set up a Koolance Rig I got on clearance. I'm using the CPU, GPU, Chipset, and Hard Drive Coolers. Think I could do better? It comes with a Dual Pump but do you think I could benefit from installing an additional pump? The model I use is in my signature.

    Looks like AMD got smart

    Am I the only one noticing the 3500 getting much better OCs than the 3000s or 3200s? I'm seeing the 3500s and 3800s break 2.8ghz easily while the 3000s and 3200s are struggling with 2.6ghz. For those that read other forums, what have you been seeing?

    OCZ Value VX

    Anyone try these? http://www.atacom.com/program/atacom.cg...T_AG_C2+&Disp_item2.x=4&Disp_item2.y=7 How high can you get 2-2-2 timings and at what voltage? I hope it performs close to the non-value VX memory. :)

    1024MB memory sticks that OC well at low latency

    I'm looking to go 2x1024MB for 2GB RAM in my new Athlon64 s939 system since there are problems with 4x512. The applications I use will be able to benefit from greater than 1GB memory and I want 2-2-2-10 or at least something close. I see that Crucial has a Ballistix module that's rated at...

    Best Hardware for Rome: Total War

    For those that have played the game, the hardware requirements are really different for this game compared to the hardware requirements for games like HL2, Doom 3 and Far Cry. The video card comparisons out there show that your GPU doesn't make that big of a difference (maybe 10-20 fps) but...
