I'm not too much of a beer drinker but i'll put a few on ice. I mean it is for a good cause.:)
(I do have a bottle of 1800 in the freezer how about a sunrise?)

It must be something in the air. I had a 9hr WU and a 15min WU this morning on a k6-2-400. Normally it takes about ~19 hrs on that machine.

The odd one or two is not unherd of ,but 20 odd in a row is! ,I think the scewed up windows is somehow messing SETI up :(

I just checked the SETIQ.log file and I can't find those 2 short ones I had.
Would Setiq recycle them? Or am I going crazy?



edit: my grammer is very bad lately
(my TV went out in november and my mind is slipping from the lack of infomercials)
(i'm going to get another TV i've just been busy):D

Warning!!! Never build a computer for your mother! She still wants me to take off SETI and while I do that she wants to install Office for her. She also wants me to remove the overclocking!!!!! She said since she paid for it she wants it that way... I told her she can forget about tech support if she isn't going to trust me :(

<edit>ouch... I just noticed I am at the bottom of that list :( looks like it will be a good race between me and ZF3361</edit>

Well Kwatt I might just have to stop to mix a few margaritas.


I'm thinking about buying a katmai 600 and a good overclocking board for for my cel 300a. I'm just convinced that cel will do 450 w/2.1 volts.

I think the problem is the CPU and not windows, I had the same
problem on a NT box, I increased the clock bus speed on 2 Cel466 up
to 84 Mhz, result was 4 WUs in less than 5 mins, reduced it to
83Mhz and is now stable.

Do you want that PII350 on a long term loan?

hymy: i have 5 or the celeron 300a's and every one is
already doing 450. some are doing up to 495.
i did have to bump the voltage to 2.1.

i am still waiting on some better cpu grease to go higher.

interesting thing is that some would not go abor 450
right away. after letting them run for a week i was
able to push to 105 and 110 bus.

Cory,

I screwed the pooch when I built it. The mother board only has autodetect voltage. I could probably tape the pins to get 2.2 volts, but it seems like a better idea to buy a good coppermine MB for the celeron and put a Katmai on the old MB. I'm thinking if I select the right Katmai, I might be able to overclock it at default voltage.

But A 600 katmai costs more than a 600 coppermine. Whats up with that?

I've been running the celeron at 374 for a while now, I keep hoping it will break in a little and start running at 450. But I'm not holding my breath



edit: Kwatt, Thanks for the margarita, dude.

ZF 3361

The cpu is not overclocked in that machine ,it's a PII 333 @ 333MHz.
I know that he got a load of windows corruption errors a little while ago &amp; was only just able to get it going again.It needs reinstalling. :(
Ref the PII 350 ,thanks :) I'll think about it ,actually my friend might want to buy it.I'll let you know

The latest stats ;)

Polo _________735 (+13 WU to previous)
Kwatt_________716 (+13 WU to previous)
Hymy__________715 (+14 WU to previous)
Assimilator1____664 (+12 WU to previous)
ZF 3361_______632 (+32 WU to previous)
Mucman________606 (+6 WU to previous)

Hmm ,looks like ZF 3361 is catching me quick!

Hehehehe :D I've just gained a PIII 550 to my herd :D:D:D

I dont know how long it runs ,but it 'might ' be 24/7 ,I certainly hope so:)

That PIII 550 (maybe 500?) I've assimilated IS on 24/7 :D

I have lost the PII 333 24/7 though :( ,maybe permanently :(*sniff* ,we'll see what happens when he reinstalls his OS on that 1

Networkman

Congrats :D ,I knew you'd be WAY ahead of us :)

How long until you hit 2000 WU's ?

Polo ,Hymy etc ;)

Damn it! you lot are lucky.I was going to be bringing my PII 233 280MHz online today (24/7_ but the HDD is dead :(:( ,hopefully I'll sort it tommorow.
Oh yeah I've got all the bits for my fathers Athlon 700 :)

Damn ,running out of time...........

Watch it guys!!! I just added a P150 to my herd!!!!!!!! :p

It seems a little to late, but I will be building a 700MHz Duron system as soon as a good mobo comes out and it will be cracking SETI, I can't wait til the race to 2k.

PS, don't count me out yet ;)

Well ,I added my PII 233 @ 280MHz (2.5x112,CAS2) the other day.The first few WU's show a time of around 10.5hrs! :Q:D ,much faster than I was hoping for :).At 24/7 that'll be adding just over 2WU's/day for me(for a few weeks or so anyway ).Not enough to catch ZF3361 ,darn you;) &amp; those Xeons ;) ,but I should be able to close in on a few people:).
The Athlon 700 isn't finshed........yet:p

Oh yeah ,latest stats :)

Polo _________840
ZF 3361_______817
Hymy__________ 814
Kwatt_________792
Assimilator1____751
Mucman________645

My fathers Athlon 700 is now online running SETI 24/7 :D ,(for short time anyway).
Anyone still reading this ?:eek::(

^ me 2, its good fun watching others race (especially when your out near the top with no one close around you, its lonley at the top, well except if your colinp or darkone, i have been watching them lately too, bit of a tustle for #1 spot :)
