    Thank you sierra_bound. I wish that I could up my production but I already have everything I own running WCG.


    I'm still sad about Jon. Rest in peace buddy.

    I have all machines full bore, 100% and it's been that way for several years now. I have no intention of slowing down now....

    Good idea Sierra.

    Sounds great. For a while now I have been running everything strictly on HCC & HFCC. I currently have 6 920's & 1 X3440 all 3.8-4ghz= 56 threads for kickin cancer. I would push to see if I can get my D0's higher, but do not want to mess up any production atm

    This is for you Jon

    Just remember folks, stable is better than pushing a rig to fail. Don't push your clocks past 24/7/365 stable for WCG.

    Tortoise and Hare. Steady and stable wins every time....

    Everything that I can reconfigure remotely is set up for cancer.
    I'll add more hardware over the weekend. Even the old dinosaurs.

    First day of the 2010 Run Off challenge. Because are we taking part in so many challenges, I won't be able to post results for each one on a daily basis. I'll provide occasional updates whenever possible.

    Finishing 2nd to you guys is a winner in my book, let's hope it stays that way. Good crunching fellas

    The first antique dual processor system is powered up !
    "dev/hda1 has gone 683 days without being checked. Check forced."

    I think these are dual duron 1800s modded to MP1900s ??? I'll keep these kinds of things running through February challenges.
