Saaya posted around 8.45 saying it would start in an hour or so, any news yet?
I'm gonna plant the rumor seed.
I heard from my best friend's cousins sister's boyfriend, who heard from this guy, who works for a woman who said she heard saaya say that the first week was going to be SuperPi 1MB.
My sources may not be reliable, but I will accept hardware/$$$ donations from those who think otherwise.

I say it still qualifies as air, but the huge amount of duct tape deserves it's own catergory in a perfect world.

please use the new thread for your discussions, if there are any questions about the entire competition feel free to post here though :)
Is there gonna be any post of classes or how they will be ranked? Maybe a sticky with an ocassional update showing who is placed where? :)
And they're off!!!
I'm still standing still waiting for hardware to arrive.... then I need to figure out how these darn dothan's work ;) ;) ;)
Yeah... sure be nice to know the classes so you can see how you are doing against others in the same class.Quote:

I had a try with pifast yesterday and i got a result of 7seconds..... does that sound right? Seems pretty fast.
i missed the chance to compete because i'm in canada until friday :( too bad... i would have loved to see how my results compared. maybe i'll run the benches anyway and just see where i would have ended up... :poke:
You would still have had all weekend to run the bench.... lot of us are still waiting on hardware to arrive and will be lucky to have 2 days to run this first bench anyway.Quote:

Since im not gonna be here for 2 weeks during augest i guess i cant compete.
Guess im dropping out of the competition then :(
/me grovels... i can take his place?! ;)
Maybe if you PM saaya he will allow it. :)
ya same here. Maybe someone can take my spot. Not benching with a Xabre 200 lol. Thank you nVidia-Leadtek , I love you too!! :rolleyes:
Well just got back from vacation with a voicemail from AMD sayin they got my RMA and they best they can do is trade my 3000+ venice for a 3200+ winnie :(
Hmm... strange... they usually dont downgrade... you'll loose sse3 and stuff ;)Quote:

Well alot have had problems with dead hw. I myself just got my new fx so will be runnin this weekend. Did some prior testing w/ a 3500+ and single 7800gtx and scored 20k. :)
I think a lot of people will bench this weekend, some just don't have time during the week. I have to install a new motherboard and get my os's installed and do all my benching this weekend. From what I understand if you don't run one of the benches you just get a 0 for that week, but you are still in the Grand Prix.Quote:

Well my scores went up slightly by about 50 points with 2GB total ram. So since its the same exact type of ram (OCZ EL PLatinum Rev2 PC3200) can I use the 4x512MB or am I limited to the 2x512MB that I registered with, mind you some folks never disclosed their amount of system ram. Thx.
