NICE :thumbsup:

(but can you beat him at F@H?)

[caferace]

He's far too easy of a target.... fish in a barrel are safer.



-jim

(who has whomped him in DPAD, SETI, shortly to do so in FAH and probably a few others Im forgetting about. )

 

[Wiz]

Just reminiscing about the old days...

I sure have come a long ways in just a couple weeks though. :laugh:

 

[petrusbroder]

LoL, competion sure is nice and productive ...

:beer: to the memories :beer:

So, since we'll all be here tomorrow crunching our hearts on one project or another.... I gues today is the good medium days!

You find a martian and I'll twist it's innerds (folding protiens)

-Sid

 

[Wiz]

Yes, and I'm still crunching for Rosetta and doing fine work in Dimes!
Way too much fun! :laugh:

 

[Assimilator1]

lol

Wiz
Bad news for you mate ,I switched my main rig (now a quad @3GHz) from SETI over to F@H last weekend ,so what's coming through there is pending credit & credit from my aging (nearly all skt A's) remote part time mini fleet.

But anyway ,a flying start for you! ,maybe you can catch me (totals) before I partially switch back next month?
Bring it ooon!

Btw what rig is that on?

I wonder when it was we last raced in S@H1?.....

Jim
lol ,I just like spitting your dust ..........that & you can only get me 1 project at a time ,I'll wait until you're not looking heheh...

 

[Wiz]

Ouch - I got the electric bill yesterday!

Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch!!!

I'm going to have to turn things off at night for a while

Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch!!!

 

[MadMurph]

Whew,:Q and I thought the F@H boys were brutal. Put some yellow tape around this one.

 

[Assimilator1]

Yellow tape??

Wiz
Sorry to hear about your bill ,how many rigs were you running?
What's you main rig btw?

 

[Wiz]

All my rigs are single core, fastest is a intel 3.8 ghz running two WU's at a time.
It's got 3 GB DDR2 in it, runs 24/7/365
Next is a intel 3.0 @ 3.3ghz 1GB memory.
In addition I have an old AMD 2400xp & a AMD 2500xp running.
I've got a couple boxes running Rosetta full time and all of them with Rosetta at least as the backup application.
With the whopping electricity bill I'll be shutting several of them down at night, especially the older & slower boxes. We haven't even gotten to winter yet!!

Caution Tape -- they put it around murder scenes, train and auto wrecks, and other sites of nefarious crime (or, other wreckage like that strewn in this thread. :laugh: Sorry, I'm my own entertainment.)

Those P4s @3.8GHz are real juice guzzlers ,you know you could sell your 2 P4s (1 CPU & maybe mbrd & 1rig) & the 2 XP rigs, buy a Quad (Q6600) use less power & have far more crunching power too!

I don't whether either of your P4 mbrds support C2D or C2Q but you could certainly re-use your RAM.
You could end up with a cheap upgrade, cheaper electricity bills ,more crunching power & all in just 1 rig ,that's assuming of course you don't need a 2nd rig etc.

My old XPM 2500 @2.5GHz used to draw ~180w at the wall running DC ,my E6420 C2D @3.2GHz also drew 180w running 2 DC clients!:Q ,my Q6600 @3GHz draws ~225w running 4 DC clients (or 1 SMP F@H).Running F@H on my X1950 Pro too ups that to ~260w.That's all on 240v AC btw.

MM
lol , got ya now

Jim
I guess adding my X1950 Pro in wasn't enough to hold ya back
Maybe if added the awesome power of my Semp64 @2.5GHz it would thwart you?

 

[Wiz]

Heh - if I consolidated to one machine I'd have to give up something near & dear - like breathing.

With 6 kids & a wife who all want to use a computer we sometimes don't have enough to go around.

Fortunately I can usually fend off some of them by asking if their homework is done yet. I'm such a harda$$ sometimes, but I think it's good for them. :evil:

 

[Assimilator1]

lol
6 kids!?:Q yikes!

Hmm ,ok that wouldn't work then, how about just selling off the P4 3.8GHz & buying a C2D instead then? The saving in electricity would pay for itself ............err no idea over what time period though ,any idea how much power it draws from the wall?

 

[Wiz]

ny idea how much power it draws from the wall?

That one is paid for by my work, so instead of trading I'll likely just add another this year & I'll try to get something with at least 4 cores. I'll need it afterall... :evil:

 

[caferace]

Uh-oh. :beer: :wine:

Of course

For now you could replace the P4 3GHz with a C2D

Ekk you're getting close to me in F@H![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] ,don't leave too much dust on my paintwork

I have news for you. I'm no longer visible in your rear-view mirror, and I at least waved on my way by. :laugh:

You're back in front now. No finished WU's so far today, or at least none in stats. I *know* one finished, but that ain't enough...

So. "Hi!".

[Assimilator1]

A quick blast of Nitrous gave me a little bust ...........here's some dust back
