Hi all.

Just wanted to let you know I have just upgraded my AMD 3500+ to a X2 4800+. Went like a dream. Getting similar benchmark figures via BOINC with stock settings as I was getting OCing the 3500+ by 20% (2.4 GHz vs 2.64 GHz). Tomorrow I will start the OCing. And get the 3500+ crunching on its own again in 'The Borg'.

On anther note, I have also just passed 300k in QMC. Heading for the million in total. Should be within the next 30 days.

Real pleased!!! :D :D

Yeh, more power to the TeAm. Could not resist the AMD price cuts. And the fastest I can put in my very good 939 mobo. Now just more memory.

No, I have not considered TAS. Maily because I don't know what it is. Care to enlighten me?

It is a mini-team with in TA.
Each crunches under his/her own name - but we switch some comps each month to a different project. The reasons for this are:
- Increase TeAm AnandTech's participation and production in projects.
- Introduce people to projects they're no so familiar with.
- Have LOTS of fun!
- Establish TeAm AnandTech as a major player in all that is DC.

Here is our site and home.

amdxborg is our captain, BlackMountainCow and myself are the mods of our site.
Please look around. There are approximately 50 members - often some 25 crunch a project together, sometimes it is only 8.
Each month we vote on which project will be the project of the month. Here is the list.

Well to a certain extent I am crunching for that at the moment - BOINC month. My 2 projects are QMC and Xtremlab. I do those because I get the most credits for them. And they work very well.
