In the spirit of friendly competition (cont...)

Very Zen ... but answer me this:

if a bear eats habonaros and craps in the woods, but nobody is there to hear it, does he still scream?

Until someone has seen the bear, who is to say it even exists? If nobody saw the event occur, it is uncertain as to whether or not it ever happened.

I usually use this when i want to get spicy food:


^That stuff is just brutal SKU is around 500-700K! 2-3 little droplets to one dish and the food gets reallly hot

[OldChap]

Does it matter which chilli, curry etc you use?...... just put your shorts in the freezer the day before

I disagree though. 4-6 drops on one piece of food (ie: chicken wing) and it gets REALLY hot.

I've been racing hendermd, hutkikz and hawk99 to 1 million BOINC and just barely beat them out, seems they laid of daily production since them
Im concerned about hendermd he's pull ~1.5K more rack so looks like he's going to pull a snoro and leave me in the dust

Come on cooler weather Best I can do is up the clocks.....

Unless anyone wants to trade their i7 for a fine 1090t system

I was also watching you,slaveondope ,werdwerdus,who has slowed right down and where did hendrmd come from.I had 1 i7 920 down for a week while I was away.back up now but i need to do maint.on my water cooled rig and i hope to crank it up.it's only at 3.04ghz right now. I'm also haven't figured out this posting thing yet!

Well, you got yourself some time PG - what you gonna do with it?

So that's a maybe then?

If anyone is after a little something to boost their output ... this should do it

If anyone is after a little something to boost their output ... this should do it

oh man
wish I had $57,609 ...

[D_A]

oh man
wish I had $57,609 ...

... and a power station to run it!

That thing would cost me about $7500 AUD a year to run!

[Jaco]

actually , it won't be that bad
each blade pulls about 180-200w ... let's say 190w x16 = 3040w
and at least 42k /day per blade ... 42x16 =672.000 wcg points/day
Now that would get you some pie for sure

[OldChap]

I pay out about half that now ...did you mean 7500 AUD month?

[D_A]

I pay out about half that now ...did you mean 7500 AUD month?

Nope, per year.

I allowed for power losses in the boards, backplane and hard drives in that figure. What I DIDN'T allow for is air conditioning.

Well, you got yourself some time PG - what you gonna do with it?

You are putting up some fine numbers, I've just been doing it alot longer. That's why when I see people say they "i only do xxxx ppd" I get impatient. Time is an important ingredient in the equation.

BUT if that is the best comeback ya got I am disappointed. Thought you were a Texan? After my post and all those about hot spicey food items I wanted to see something with a little fire.

As for what I am doing I am trying Yoga....

[Firechicken]

I should start gaining some ground this weekend when my output more than doubles. So we will see if I can catch up to anyone. Muahahah.

Ohoh, maybe I can catch Firechicken before he gets any new stuff.

We were close for a long time. After I kind of met you trial by fire by me having a bad day I considered you a perfect running matefor some time and still have been watching for you to make page 3 I was barly pulling 100 more than you. Alas I'm going to be doubling my output in 8 days, and then the clocks go back up to 4ghz as it's getting c c c cold here in canada Heres to 20K by summer 2011.

I did enjoy it though who am I kidding haha, I was the bottom feeder who ate EVERYONES dust here on WCG for 5 years my friend, so I suppose it feels really good to have someone mention to want to beat me, kinda feels good.

Cheers mate.

O.K. game on I don't hear much from nbarsotti, but that is who I have my eye on !
We are less than 50k boinc points apart and trade position on rac. Last week I had a headless quad core go down on me for about a day and he darn near caught me. So I had to think quick and change my wives mobo from an olddddd Athalon to a old Athalon running an Opteron 185. That is until her new 875k parts arrives sometime this week.

Problem is I have a tonne of work to do on my machines swapping CPU's, boards and installing new O.S.'s and of course my main machine a 980x will be down while I swap boards to the ReIII and some new water cooling components as well as having to install a tonne of software. Obviously my RAC is going to drop during this period so I've got about 50k to work with before nbarsotti catches me.
If you read this nbarsotti, be easy on me while I reconfigure things, yea right

Game on nbarsotti ?

"Friendly" competition....

Just have to put my 2 cents in on this - To those of you who are just starting out or feel like you're a little guy and your contributions are small, please realize almost everyone here started in your same position. I worked for over a year with just two SINGLE CORE cpus, and got just shy of a million WCG out of em. EVERY little bit counts - especially if you have time on your side (and because of that I do crunch on my mother's atom netbook )

Also, it is possible to make some serious output without spending lost of money. I'm a poor college student, I don't have the resources a lot of the other big guys have here, and I definitely don't even have a disposable income (School costs >> Income). Just realize, you guys are some of the most tech savvy people in the world... And you're pretty bright. Be creative.
(Disclaimer: Don't borg things - get permission.)

BUT if that is the best comeback ya got I am disappointed. Thought you were a Texan?

And about being Texan, I am... And Proud of it! But there ain't no point arguin - gonna let my points do the talkin.

Hmmm, if you get delayed a few weeks I'll totally catch you.

[jcool]

My favourite rival? Well that's Dave of course

To be honest, with so many of my rigs down due to economic reasons and my SR-2 on Jon's account, I don't even wanna look in my rearview right now

[D_A]

I scored another Pentium Pro chip this morning, maybe if I go back out and grab a board to go with it ...

I'd love a working PPro setup, so many daydreams back in the day.

Wow didnt thought i was a force to be reckoned over here. But dont get me started on friendly competition i could surely take a walk to my bank and get me a personal loan to get a new comp and damm you made me also remember i am no more getting pie in gpu grid. I think poppageek and whitefiredragon should watch out in wcg and pie stealer in gpu grid should watch otu also cause i could be back sooner than you might think.

*Already walking to my bank*

[slaveondope]

Snoro early on I thought I was going to stick with you but at some point you fired up and extra 2K in RAC and well it was humbling...

[snoro]

also 3 choice for my new rig : i7 870 + asus p7p55 ws supercomputer for 500$/ xeon x3440 + asus p7p55 supercomputer for 440$ or phenom x6 1055t plus msi 790fx gd70 for 340$

I need those 4 pcie slot for 4 gts 450 to get back some pie in gpugrid. What you think is the best choice ???

I'd go with the 870. You'll get a better clock on that and more ppd/$, but that's just me.

And why 450 over 460?
