I can tell you how many SERVERS.... :)
But, as we know - I'm full of it.

Sorry to sound so punchy Narzy - but ALL OF THEM!
That's the number.

I'm agreeing with your approach, but why stop at any given number? - I think I understand what logic you're putting across though...

Something along the lines of - "It will take X processors" therefore each of the current 677 active members must assimilate Y machines to equal Z crackrate" Am I on the right track?

[edit]and... before I get flamed again from someone who believes servers are something real special - I'm talking about in test labs or during burn-in or something OTHER THAN PRODUCTION machines.

Narzy,

based on the fact that over the past 7 days, the DPC have been beating us by 675,000 work units, we need to assimilate 750,000 mhz of PIIs PIII, etc.

this works out to each person needing to assimilate 1.1 ghz of cracking power to take back the spot that is rightfully ours.:D

I agree with Dan, though. Why stop there.

I agree with Narzy, and the approach. It was a legitimate question.
I have added 933 MHz today to our herd. :)

Just as an example: To have matched the DPC yesterday, we would have needed 1000 - 1GHz TBirds running 24/7....:Q (1,000,000+ blocks!)

To be honest....I would love to have 1000 new members with the potential to add 1000's (plural) of new PC's cranking out blocks for TEAM Anandtech! :)

If anybody lives in the area of DanC I'm sure he could really use some help during this. 80 datacenters with how many computers each is quite a lot. It will obviously be a network setup .. but still help is probably desperatly needed on his end.

If/when it goes through this will be phenomenal.

Dan's burn ins are not going to help us in the long term, with catching the DPCs in the dailies. Once he is done burning in the systems, we are still going to get our @sses killed in the dailys. There is only one way to fix this problem: assimilate more computers
