Hi, I just got done reading all 8 pages of the thread and I started with 2 aspirin and now have a bigger headache cause I don't read very well the script syntax I use to do more hardware 7 years ago and am getting back in at the enthusiast level and would like to help out on the WCG cancer project and I could use your help.
I have the parts on order except for the processor and I'll get that in a week.
The build is Gigabyte 7950s two of them at present
The platform is Intel Socket 2011 a 4-way CrossFireX capable motherboard.
Now at first I didn't know how fast a wu could be processed so I figured I'd need multiple 7950 but someone pointed out a wu took 15 seconds on a single 7950. (I think this was on the old wu).
Then yesterday someone referred to this forum and that cores were more important so I canceled my order of a i7 3820 4/8 and that a i7 3930 6/12 was a better choice.
So what is your opinion on the cpu get the 12 threads and one less graphic card 3 instead of 4 or is 2 overkill as it is? Also how many wu past 12 can be done at one time?
Then can you help me out with the script, does it need to be different for CrossFireX and TriFireX?
Which build do I need to get from Berkley and what is the web address?
Thanks for your experience and help.
Bruce
