    what if we had double the quantity and triple the quality. =p

    We're doing wonderful. Most excellent for a team of individuals and not organizations.

    I'm excited. My extra RAM came in the mail today, so I'll be able to fire BOINC back up. I'm also on track with my voltmod thanks to a local forum user's help, so here's hoping for 2.8GHz at least.
    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Rule 3:
    When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    Random Tip o' the Whatever
    You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.

    BTW, where do you find the PPD numbers that you and others compare? I need to be looking in the right place.

    I use this website, but there are some that use other pages. The daily team numbers come from WCG -> stats -> teams -> sort by points generated yesterday.
    Main rig:
    CPU: I7 920C0 @ 3.6Ghz (180*20)
    Mobo: DFI UT X58 T3eH8
    RAM: 12GB OCZ DDR3-1600 Platinum

    go to http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms...yMemberPage.do

    take 'my grid' , then 'my statistics' . You'll find it under 'device statistics'

    Hmm, maybe my output just really stinks then. That's where I always used to look, but I figured that wasn't the same number others were looking at. My Phenom II at 3.5GHz 24/7 only cranked out about 5-10K somehow.

    Yeah, you should look into that. My Phenom I at stock is sitting consistantly just below 10k.

    Well, you should let it run at least 2 weeks for the RAC to stabilize... otherwise you'll get crap numbers.

    The WCG uses WCG points and the other web sites use Boinc points. Boinc points x 7 = WCG points.

    My AMD940 got just over 15K yesterday running at 3507mhz on an almost "perfect" 24 hour day..
    15,266 I think it was.. That's WCG points..

    Yeah, that has to be WCG points though. A Phenom II isn't going to pull 35k+ WCG. I'd say let it run for a bit and look at the average maybe? Or check to see if anything else is also running on that machine that might use a signifiant amount of processor time...

    RAM is in and I'm back in business. Dual channel and all...not sure how much that matters for BOINC.

    Are you sure your WCG settings are correct? Cpu usage is at 100% ??
    (Default is 60% )

    I don't understand... I've seen people adding rigs left and right and no point increase. lol
    I guess the people removing rigs left and right don't make a thread letting us know.


    We're doing good though! Anywhere over 6k is perfectly fine.
