Just wait till I get the other 2 quads up and put everything on xp64 or Vista64bit. Cos for some reason I am not getting enough points for my linux crunchers :(

I think I single handedly pushed up the 2nd hand price of Q6600's by buying 5 in two weeks lol

Somehow I dont think I will be getting a lot of pie regularly, just when updates align with the starts in the right order.

BTW does this mean I can get Maroon and Xtreme Cruncher? :P

Oh Dave!

If you want points out of linux you need 64bit. It seems to get through them a little faster and benches a nice bit higher. :up:

Server 2008 x64 gets a little over 100 PPD more than Server 2008 x86, I did VM comparisons.

I am running 64bit linux but it benches slower than vista by about half.
BTW I got your message just need to find time to sort out some helpdesk support from D_A (this is the one I am using as install -xubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso )

If you're getting HALF the vista benchmarks there is something very wrong. :eek:

How come you're using xubuntu? You no like Gnome or KDE?

are they 64bit versions of linux? i get a fewer points per WU in linux but it completes them much faster (1hr less for HCC @3.5ghz) so i get more units done per day and i somehow get 700-1000 BOINC ppd more if i were to stay 24/7 in linux vs Vista Ultimate 64bit

edit a lot happened while i was writing this. i agree with D_A, something is very wrong with your linux bench if its less than vista. i'm running Kubuntu 8.04 x64 and boinc bench much higher

Just a thought ... but you didn't load the 32 version of BOINC on your 64bit OS did you?

I have xubuntu on one and kubuntu on the other and Vista 64 bit on the other (on my Redbacks) all with the package from synaptics package manager.... hmmmmm maybe I need to do a manual install! Good tip D_A I'll give it a shot tomorrow. No time today :(

Sounds like I need to look into it some more

Will continue this discussion in my thread......
