YAY!! I broke 500 WU's today! :)

If I can manage to average 12.5 WU's per day (my average this week has been 13.5) then I should be able to meet my goal! Whee!! :D

Assim1- Why don't you play Q3 on the net? Lag? I also upgraded my cpu from a 700E@868 to a 750E@930, but I don't think that accounted for the frame rate increase. Just the much better DDR ram. :D

Anyone here play excessive Q3?

Congrats Fard for 500 wu's, now on to the all important 1000 mark! :)

Hummmmm...not a record to be setting! LOL

Looks like the high angle party is over, my production has dropped off. I think I was quite fortunate with my little run of high 70's low 80's production. Some low angle results are starting to come in so my herd is getting less work done. :(

One good thing, the holiday is almost here and work shuts down for a week, actually it comes out to 10 days. During that period, I will have a killer herd running devoted 100% to seti. I can't wait! :D

Hey BadThad, if you're looking for someone addicted to Q3, try private-messaging SYST3M - he visits our IRC channel once or twice a week too.

Assim1 - I doubt I will hit 100 wu's/day, unless I get REAL lucky with high angle units or there's an outage and all my drivers dump at once. I'm just hoping to sustain 70+ wu's/day.

HB is the next for me to pass and he has a 1000 wu lead on me! Gonna take awhile to pass him.

NWM - I was just wondering if any of the race team played Q3. Thanks

Ref Q3 ,I prefer to play Unreal Tourn ,either way I am limited to which servers I can connect to because of high ping rates.I only play Q3 around a friends because thats what he prefers ,occasionally UT ,recently we've dug out Foresaken from the cupboard;) & play that lot ,I'd forgotten how much I liked that game :)

Oh yeah ,I've got my PIII 650 running @ 820 MHz :) ,the cpu does run at 866 MHz but I have to disable AGP texturing otherwise my 16Mb TNT2 (NOT Vanta) won't run games :( ,with AGP off the performance plummeted :( ,was like playing on my old K6-2 400 again!.So I set the FSB back down to 126 MHz.oh & my PC100 RAM still seems to be OK at CAS2 so far.Though I have generic PC133 RAM I could swap around from other PC's if need be.

I think it's slipping due to longer wu's! My herd is the same as always and I went from doing 81 wu's to the whimpy 60's! Hell, I even been getting 4-5 wu's extra from the customer PC sitting behind me burning in!

Hehe.. I finally got a couple of those "noisy" work units that people occasionally talk about! One of 'em finished in 20m14s and the other finished in 1m12s! Gotta love it! :D

Assim1 - Is that all the stats you have for the P820? Seems a bit fast to me. :D When I get home, I'll show you that stats for my P930/868 system. I think I have about 80 wu's worth of stats, most from running at 868.

Bummed I lost the P400 24/7 cow. The customer 868 is still bailing me out a bit while burning in, good for 5-6/day while I have it. I told them it was ready, but they said they don't want me to deliver it yet! doh...no problem! LMAO...free wu's..LOL.

Hey, if you all ever need PC parts, LMK. I can give you a good price and NOT rape you on shipping (it will be actual cost). Plus, 99% of my parts have 1 year warr!!!....not the whimpy 30 day BS. I buy DIRECT from a local (non-public) distributor. :) However, my selection is somewhat limited and I can't price match or anything.

ASSIM1 : My production is stable but I fetch/flush my work fleet manually. So I make little dump from time to time; especialy on Monday when I flush the week-end production. It appears on tuesday in the stats. Next week, I'll be on holidays for christmas and new year. I have to give my work fleet enough WUs to crunch during 9 days. So I hope to flush 100 WUs to celebrate the new year. ;) :)
So, no fear for you ! :) You'll reach 4000 before me !

Hmm ,I seem to remember you saying something like that before ;) hehehe
Bummer about the PII 400 :( ,maybe you could tell that customer you'll look after their PC for a REAL long time ;).

>>>>I can give you a good price and NOT rape you on shipping (it will be actual cost). <<<<
Even to the UK? ,how about an Asus Geforce 256 DDR?
