OFFICIAL Holloween Race Roster & Details

[catawalks]

I would like to call a penalty....

PENALTY ON OLDCHAP! RAPID RELEASE OF ACME CRUISE MISSLES!

He went from barely any ppd to almost 22k and ~6 WU's per update. Congrats, you may be catching up to me, but one day, I will have you again.

[MaK2000]

you've turned in more points this race than I have at XS, and I'm ranked 11 on the team.

I'm in the same boat. DAMN WFO!!!

You and I are pretty close. I will have to see if I can out gun you in the home stretch and win by a nose.

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Huh..

I'm seeing 141 points in the nov 19 00:00 pst update
147 in the 03:00 update and 150 in the 06:00 ipdate.. that means 150 per 3 hours that's just 1200points if you extrapolate it ( I missed an update because I was installing the ram and didn't run the update parser which currently is still in desktop app mode ( service will come next as that will mean I can't miss updates due to stupid mistakes like that )

Naw....That was a blip,....just me messin with smp again.....and it's 6 every other update so thats only FAST JETS not missiles ....and after the race I'll want at least one card back to normal use. I'm even posting on an old amd box

I guess I'm going to have to have a go at linux if I'm going to get anywhere fast.........or maybe buy me some christmas presents

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Oww noes.. if oldchap will move to linux that means the martian shouldn't be grappling to his windows box so much

I serieusly am considering it as I seen how stable a vm can be ( I do need my windows applications ) and how much better Linux is at doing what you want it to do ( and you know how to tell it to em ).

Marvin you know you could go Linux and then setup a VMware appliance for Windows which you could use for your Windows applications which you can not get to run with wine. Then you could have the best of both worlds

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Yeah I been thinking about doing just that

Will go ubuntu as most tell me that's a good starting place ( as opposed to gentoo ) but you linux guys tend to all like their own package the most anyway

Well, that graph clearly indicates why I wanted the "Xtreme Folder" title above my avatar. I'd say I'm doing a pretty fair job living up to it. Kinda of the folding equivalent to the liquid nitrogen OCers.

[Marvin_The_Martian]

Someone got sigged.. just as a reminder that the title doesn't come cheap and will require maintenance in the future as well

Penalty Accepted...
OldChap gets penalized for not bringing back more boobies for all to enjoy...Cheers to Grey Goose!!!!

[coo-coo-clocker]

Thought you geeks might enjoy a bit of SMP performance data.
Here is a graph of the SMP production of my newest acme jato rocket.
It's an ASUS P5Q-Pro with Q9550. When I fired her up, I ran SMP to see if I had assembled her correctly and things were ok at stock speeds of 2.83GHz - first project received was 3064...ran at a respectable 9:29 avg frame time. Next up was a 2665. Avg frame time was 14:15. So it was time to crank her up a bit. Jacked up the FSB to 424 (8.5 multi) for a nice 3.6GHz clock. That improved things nicely. You can see here the project numbers and avg frame times:

[catawalks]

Nice graph coo-coo-clocker. What'd you use to get that?

[OldChap]

Give me a penalty will ya?..........be careful what you ask for.......



enjoy...?

[MikeB12]

^^ My new penalty box ref...^^
as you can see, she's patrolling my neighborhood right now, with instructions to attack anyone with trash can lids or firecrackers on sight.

[DAK1640]

Boy am I in luck....

**I'll go ahead and do user totals also these last few days (the burgunndy chart), in case anyone else besides Mak and I have a photo fish going**

Foxtrot is 47K away from catching Tango.

Mak is 2K away from passing me..



**68 HRS from chart update to END OF RACE**

Nice work Mike - crunchin the numbers.
quick math: the race has produced over 17.25 MM points thus far.

Ubuntu is a very good choice to get your feet wet with Linux the project is very active and up to date. You will not get maximum performance as it is not optimized for your specific system its more generic so that it will work on almost any system. Gentoo on the other hand is performance optimized since you compile/emerge each and every application for your specific system its not near as active as Ubuntu but is very well documented. Gentoo is one of the best options for a Laptop since it is customized for the hardware however it can take a very very long time to install I used it for a while on a old P4 2ghz laptop I had and it took about 2 days to initially install with all the emerging. If you want a desktop that looks and behaves more like Windows you might check out the KDE desktop used in Kubuntu. Ubuntu uses the Gnome desktop which is more popular then KDE but take a little more time to learn from a previous Windows user.

anyone know how to perminatly change affinity in vista?...i find that i'm not getting the right ppd out of my gts because it keeps resetting the affinity

[OldChap]

which core do you want it on? If I remember it should naturally lock to core3 (on a quad) to change I believe you have to say yes to do not lock to core and then there is a set nv gpu argument=? that you can use (I'd have to look that one up)

[MikeB12]

you shouldn't need to set affinity in vista... the default is core 3 anyway... plus, vista doesn't need a whole core for fahcore_11..

post some ppd benches.... it might be because you have a G80 gts, and comparing with what people report on a g92.

[Marvin_The_Martian]

<snip>

No gentoo for a n00b I been told before I'm not afraid of a diffrent desktop, I'm not afraid of a prompt either if I have detailed documentation of what I'm supposed to do, think everyone started like that though

Going to try Ubuntu in vm first this weekend

Afc, see coo-coo-clockers thread in the main index

[Sparky]

I tried ubuntu, finally figured out how to get the old uniprocessor client running on it, and I even got it shared on the network so I could monitor it from fahmon on my main PC! I was proud of myself lol. But then, I had no idea how to stop the process to fix a flag setting, or how to even get to it to change the flag, or to share a network connection, or crap I couldn't even figure out where to adjust the screen resolution lol

I gave up
