Q6600@3.24 GHz
I think if I had invested in a higher quality MB, I might be able to get more out of it.
Hmm...my local microcenter has Q9550's on sale at $170. I wonder if it's worth the upgrade?

Hmmm...yeah good price. Not sure it would give you enough difference for the cost...
How much would you sell your Q6600?![]()

This looks good! more than 100K in just 3 days. Ther difference between i7 and C2Q is quite visible - and the efficieny is much better in the i7 CPUs.
However, there have been some problems in the availibility of WUs. For a period of some 12 - 16 hours no WUs were available and those who had too powerful comps and too small buffers were hit by that maintenance ...
My comp was without work for more than 8 hours
If it is OK, would you either post or PM some more details about the comps: more specifically the CPU-frequency, the FSB, amount of RAM, and such data that are not visible on IBERCIVIS' site. Iwould like to do some comparisons between CPUs and coputers when we are done with the race.

Do you know if Turbo mode on or off matters for DC-ing?

i really don't know... i know it matters if you OC that it be off. So i just automatically turn turn it off as soon as i boot up a new i7..

Yeah I had forgotten to do that on that computer --- so it had only WUs for 0.5 days - and it crunched through them faster than expected.
Won't happen again ...![]()
