Side-by-side comparison of XS and Easynews. Notice we beat them today with more than two thousand fewer results returned.

Nice comparison Sierra.
WE have the machinery we just need a little more to be getting them every day.
Today was ruled by that dump by Victor..Over 917,000 points..
I slept through the update and when I checked my machines had maybe 35 WU that didn't go before the end of day.
This Q6600 is doing nicely. 17K today and 15.5 the day before.

See, we had a plan.Nice comparison Sierra.

two of my rigs are really acting up, my e6600 is getting like 5500 per day at 3.6, and the athlon x2 has been getting a bunch of those really long WUs. Thanks full I will be no longer be quadless in the next few weeks.
That's because a good chunk of Easynews members, maybe even the majority, use the UD agent which we all know awards less points, especially with newer machines. Now that the UD agent is being phased out we'll have our work cut out for us to stay ahead as everyone slowly switches over to BOINC.
i7 3970X @ 4500MHz 1.28v
Asus Rampage IV Extreme
4x4GB Corsair Dominator GT 2133MHz 9-11-10-27
Gigabyte Windforce 7970 OC 3-way Crossfire
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
HK 3.0-MCP655-Phobya 400mm rad
Corsair AX1200i
Sandisk Exrtreme 240GB
3x2TB WD Greens for storage
TT Armor VA8003SWA
Yes, I know. Even though Easynews has over two billion WCG points, we are way ahead of them in BOINC.
The other thing to note though is that we are producing more points now with fewer results than a month ago.
Also, WCG may suffer drop-outs once BOINC becomes the only available client. Some people don't want to run at 100% load because of the heat factor and power consumption. And even though BOINC can be adjusted to run at less than 100%, some may be turned off by other aspects like the validation process. With UD, you are credited right away once the work unit is returned.

Only 20?
I'm wondering how Nehalem will be priced. It's almost a given that the dual-socket boards will be expensive. Plus, Nehalem will require DDR3 which is also expensive, at least right now despite the worldwide DRAM glut.
just 20..I didn't want to sound greedy!
Yea, I'm wondering too..Price on a 8 core dual board might take a hike into the strastosphere..

production / credit wise the Nehalem won't be the cheapest system , that's for sure.
But , I want one anyway
Another nice day, especially for a Sunday. Way to go, team.
4,346,738
Damnit, they still got us though.
The important thing is improving our daily average. We were at 4-4.1 million for a little while. Now we've done 4.3-4.4 million the past couple of days. The reality is that Easynews still leads us by over a billion points overall. As long as there is weekly improvement on our part, I can't really complain. I think we are starting to reap the benefits of people upgrading and switching to x64.
We'll get them..Patience..

With the number of members that we have compared to them we kick their arse everyday.
This is one hell of a team.

Also keep in mind a lot of people get money for Christmas and gift cards, maybe even Newegg gift cards.
Ah. I've been thinking maybe Intel is lying, just so they get maximum mileage from Yorkfield's highest level parts, and then just before Christmas announce all the Wolfdale and Yorkfield units are coming out in time to be under a tree. Didn't think of gift cards though.
I think Intel feels there's no need to rush out all of the Yorkfield chips now. I don't think they view Barcelona/Phenom as a huge threat.
Product sales are also driven by the trade shows. The main Yorkfield launch will occur right during the time of the Consumer Electronics Show which gets a lot of media coverage.
