Daily point production will depend on how much your CPU is overclocked. You would likely average 5,000-10,000 WCG points per day.

I am outrageously new to this, as you can tell, and I am only familiar with the names of the clients, not what they accrue points for haha.

Thank you. I will go with Windows (64-bit of course). It wasn't a question of points just which was easier to configure in the shortest amount of time.

I misread your earlier post. Two E5520's at stock speed should do around 40,000 WCG points/day, maybe more.

Hi guys, today i started crunching in this old pc i have, but i am having trouble getting both processors to work at 100%..

It is an athlonx2@3.2. As you can see i have already configured it in wcg to use 100% of cpu time.. any idea of what could it be? W7 32bit, 2g ram

Hard to tell and my spanish is marginal at best..
looks like one cpu is maxxed and the other doing nothing..
I just don't know what to say

**JohnJohn** · 05-01-2010, 07:16 PM

Got it to work at full load now. At first it was only working on 1 project, now there are 2 projects and the cpu is fully loaded.

See you later

Well, joined up with WCG and XtremeSystems on WCG. Running a Q6600 OCed to 3.06GHz at the moment. Just started my first batch about 12 minutes ago.

**Tiltevros** · 05-02-2010, 04:06 AM

i think that the best configure with multisocket pcs is 13 threads on a 16 thread pc is faster.
during some investigate on my rig one work uses 1,15-1,20 threads. any ideas?

**D_A** · 05-02-2010, 04:08 AM

Use these settings:

This gives maximum output.

Benchmark results
Number of CPUs :16
2291 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
5725 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU

any comments? :S are those good numbers?

For what?

What processor?
What clock speed?
What operating system?

**Tiltevros** · 05-02-2010, 04:27 AM

dual xeons E5520
stock speed 2,28Ghz turbo mode 2,4Ghz
Windows ultimate 64bit

those are my results from the CPU benchmark from BOINC manager

**D_A** · 05-02-2010, 04:32 AM

Your dhrystone seems a little low. Are you running the 32bit or 64bit BOINC client?

**Tiltevros** · 05-02-2010, 04:34 AM

how can i see them and if i change my client do i lose my requests?

**Tiltevros** · 05-02-2010, 04:51 AM

x86 client i cant find the x64 version

**Bobsama** · 05-02-2010, 04:57 AM

Download direct from http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php

**Tiltevros** · 05-02-2010, 05:05 AM

the priority in task manager is low... for the task for evey task that BOINC has do i have to change it to normal??

**rwillis** · 05-02-2010, 05:24 AM

That priority is normal for the default install, I leave mine running at low. They run fine that way, and only drop off when your doing something else that needs the cycles.

Welcome to the team!

Should I do anything about errors on a WU? I feel like I'm missing out :c and like I wasted a bunch of time

ni356_ 00047_ 12-- Greyteam Error 5/2/10 06:42:40 5/2/10 11:20:29 0.01 0.3 / 0.0

Make sure your CPU is stable and uncheck HPF2 in the project list on WCG's website.

**Daveburt714** · 05-02-2010, 10:02 AM

Hey Folks, I decided to pitch in some cycles for the week. I have a question though...

I let in run yesterday untill all projects were finished and saying "Waiting to Report". The machine sat like that for almost 3 hours.

My pump has been making some noise so I was a little leary of leaving it run ovenight so I shut the machine down. When I fired it up this morning it started with all new data packets...

Am I missing something? I thought it would automatically upload data to the server.... Hope I didn't lose all that work from yesterday....

**quilty** · 05-02-2010, 10:25 AM

Joined the team yesterday. After being a passive reader here for a long time it's time to get more involved.

For now "only" my Xeon 3060 @3GHz is crushing but I plan to add my Phenoms too.
