BOINC version?

Does this look low for a E6750 at 3.2Ghz?
Whatever the latest BOINC is, it was downloaded a few hours ago. XP x86... I spent hours getting 64bit set up, and could not get the damn tv tuner to work, or the second tv tuner, or any of my lan cards... So i just went to x86.

Low clocks, I know... But its a Torrent box, so i dont want to be pushing the silly P35.

6.6.10 gives me higher scores.

What version of Windows are you running, ChaosMinionX?

[ChaosMinionX]

What version of Windows are you running, ChaosMinionX?

Vista x64 SP1

What version of Windows are you running, ChaosMinionX?

Vista x64 SP1

Is that Home/Premium, Business, Ultimate, Tofu or Tangy Lime flavour?

[emuexport]

I personally like tangy lime the best.

[ChaosMinionX]

Is that Home/Premium, Business, Ultimate, Tofu or Tangy Lime flavour?

Ultimate, however what level of Vista it is would not effect performance beyond it being 32 or 64bit...

[sinister1st]

Can someone link me to the indexed page of various flavors of the wcg boinc installer? Im looking to figure if its worth it to install the 64bit version instead of the one that is available on the wcg main download page.

Incorrect. Different variants have different default services running to enable different features which give a different base system load.

Plus it's what has been asked for all along

If you're running a 64bit operating system, you want the 64bit version of BOINC. If not, it won't run.

eh.... who on XS runs default services? I turn almost everything off anyways


Same rig as above.... this time with new beta...

OK im confusing the hell out of myself whats the difference between the Wcg installer and the one on bionic page? 2 different animals ? I thought they were both linked? I looked at this http://boincstats.com/search/result.php and it seems I have a dormant 18000 points? Yes I have home premium 64 bit. Ok the wcg installer is 6.2.28 and the boinc is 6.4.5 64bit those dormant points I have are throwing me off what is the difference between the 2?

Any info from that link is tied to your login. Anybody else gets:
Attachment 95672
I have no idea what you mean by "dormant points".

WCG test the BOINC clients themselves and recommend only those releases that pass to THEIR satisfavtion. 6.4.5 DOES NOT. Also, the one from WCG is 32bit, NOT 64bit, and puts a WCG logo in your system tray instead of the generic BOINC one.
If you want to be sure, click the "display all versions" (or whatever it's called) link on the BOINC page and pick the 64bit version of 6.2.28

Thanks much, so which one should I use? if you go to that linked page and search my name sinister1st you will get 2 sinister1st's and i have the correct points posted on one which is going up with the green little arrow and the other one has the red and is just dormant with 18000 or so points.

Ok, well assuming that's you and not someone else with the same name (which happens): are they both at the same project? If you've crunched under that same name at a different project (and with a different listed email address) the BOINC stats system will have you down as two different people. If you go to the other project page and change your email to your current one (and then return at least one result there, from memory) the system should sort itself out and combine the two. Having the same email address across projects actually does matter (if you care about stats)

My I7 920 @3360mhz is only getting 3044 wet/7553dhry; why is it so low? My 9550@4ghz is getting 4017/11734. I just went from WCG-Boinc 6.2.28 to Boinc 6.4.7. for some reson I couldnt get benchmark on 6.2.28 so this is all I have to go off of atm. I will keep an eye on my numbers for the next day or so.
Also time to completion is way higher on both machines now. I will see if it finishes as quick as before. Right now it says approx 6 hrs to completion on new wu. it used to say 3 or 4 hrs when first starting. Theoretically I should be seeing better results since this version is 64bit and read that 6.2.28 WCG is only 32bit. we'll see. Biggest thing is why are my numbers so low on I7? I need to hurry up and get a better cooler for this; Probably a True.

EDIT: I am on Vista Ultimate 64, HT is enabled. Let me know if you need any other info

Thanks

Bench seems slow and completion times high because you run HT on, thus crunching 8 threads on a 4 core CPU. Naturally this is slower/takes longer than with only 4 threads, but HT still gives a significant boost overall, like 30-40% more output compared to HT off.

Ok, so you're running BOINC 6.4.7 64bit on Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit, on an i7-920 @3360, correct?

If I got that right, your benchmarks are actually pretty good for that clock speed.

I'm a bit confused as to the details of your 9550, though.

Thanks I will monitor it for a couple/few days and see how it does. I do not thik I am getting any better results than the WCG version; I heard WCG was 32 bit and Boinc was 64bit. of course the days not over either. I just see guys saying they are getting 20k a day on similar systems and I am only getting depending on projects; roughly 12-16 on 9550 and 14-18 on I7 920. My projects are aids, cancer & drugs.

K; You are correct on the I7 and it seems that I need to order a good hsf to try and get closer to 4ghz on the I7.

as for 9550; It is @ 4GHZ, running vista ultimate 64, and just switched to the Boinc 6.4.7 as well. I just imagined that the I7 would smoke the 9550 but its only ahead by approx 100-120k over the 9550. I cant recall if I started them both at the same time or If I started the 9550 first.
The numbers on the 9550 seem slightly low but on par. on this page or last page someone hhad a 9550 @ 4.05ghz and was getting numbers just a little higher; so I think that one is ok. I guess a good cure would be to save and try to add more systems to the bunch. will see what I can do.

I do notice now with the new Boinc It only keeps 1-2 wus ready. need to try and remember where to adjust that at.

Thanks for the info guys and I am trying to make sure I am setup to help the team out as much as I can

No idea what a 3,3Ghz i7 does, but a 3,8Ghz i7 running HCC only does 26-28k a day so you shoukd be above the 20k mark.
My phase-cooled i7 at 4,3Ghz does around 31-32k/d but I also use that rig for gaming, some light render work etc in between.
