I can back you up on that.
On a X2 3800@2.75 with 4GB of ram (2T) I was getting the following:
- 2610: ~37min per frame => ~590ppd
- 2651: ~24min per frame => ~1050ppd
That's a hell of a difference. I think 2610 is heavily dependent on cache and ram timings. 512KB cache and 2T ram doesn't help.
project 2610 definitely seems to be quite heavy - could be a lack of optimization in the client tho... lets see how it evolves
I am getting this error. Any thoughts? :confused:Quote:

Well it is still in beta. The one unit I ran was fine, filesize was just too huge for the poor connection here at home.
I tried it and got around 45 min/frame. Overclocked the CPU 600 MHz and it was around 35. It was then that I decided to ditch the SMP (for now).
Im doing 14mins 20 secs per frame, on the 2651 ( about 23,5 hours total ).. if thats right that it gives 1760 points, im gonna get a nice PPD ratio.
ok i got it to work, who knows whatever
project 2651 at 11 min per frame
qx6700 at 2.666 g
just an update OC'd to 3.57 ghz and it cut the times down from 11mpf to just over 8mpf
well i dont know if 'frame' is the right way to put it, more like 8 min per 1% completed
Nice TopherTony :), cant wait for a quad!
going to wait til this project is finished and back it off to about 3G
the temps are nuts for this thing, even on water
its not even safe

ouch :)
I ran mine for a long time on air oc'ed to 3.3G, but it started to act very starnge, and i've had to dial all the way down to 2.6G now to be sure everything runs stable in the long run... seems orthos is less reliable for testing stability than i thought... orthos would run fine for hours on end on a system that would throw random errors when working with compression & encryption in parallel (decompressing compressed files from an encrypted harddrive for instance)
doesnt even let me install it.
when I get to the password part of the install I cant do anything.
I enter the password... but no letters show up.
nothing happens.
it just stops working at the password part of the install.
@ kunaak
when you get to the password part, enter your password as normally, no characters will show up but it is the programs way of keeping your pass secret
just try it
it works
Well, I'm giving up on this client for now. I've had 3 work units stall at 90 to 95% done. Of cource checkpointing is disabled in the beta so restarting the client looses all of the work. When it runs better and they add checkpointing, I give it another try.
checkpoints work fine on all my beta smp clients both windows and linux
Hmm, mine always says disabled. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Just in case anyone is unaware..........disconnecting your network/internet stops the client.
If you need to disconnect stop your smp client first, then fire it up again after disconnecting.
scimitar: not a clue sorry - it has always worked right out of the box for me - when i install the client it's a standard part of the configuration to set he checkpoint interval - i always leave it at the default 15 min and it works flawlessly.
Maybe you are OCing a bit to much? I have observed flakey client behavior on OCed machines that seemed stable -F@H is harder to keep stable than orthos, and many people don't realize that...
Is there any way to get the smp client to run without an internet connection? I just unplugged mine and lost an hours work...
It should be able to crunch without the connection (it did for me) but it won't be able to upload or download anything until you get the connection back.Quote:
