What happened over at XS, thought you were crunching there for the week?

What error messages are you getting under the messages tab (in advanced mode)?

All tabs are blank and the manager stays just waiting, and it never starts to work.
Someone of you have an older version installer file?

I generally delete the old versions but I can look around.

I know you said you reinstalled, but sometimes you have to do an uninstall, reboot, and THEN reinstall.

I had a similar problem today but when I looked at the messages tab it told me what the problem was (low disk space). I think I have had situations where it didn't throw an error, but that was a while ago and my memory kinda sucks.

If you go the uninstall/reinstall route, it should leave the boinc directory in tact so you shouldn't lose any of your work, but I could be wrong about that and we should get someone to chime in who knows what the answer is there for certain.

You can get the older versions straight from BOINC here:

A quick search of the disk where I keep most of my software reveals that I have
6.10.18, .24, .28
6.6.36
5.8.116
5.10.20

They're all more than 5meg so I can email them but if you have a 5meg limit I'll have to split them into self-extracting archives.

You're probably better off seeing if the link tod gave you will have what you need.

 

[qu4k3r]

Thanks, I'll try some of them.-

I did, but I decided to come back here, it just didn't feel right crunching anywhere else

@ qu4k3r

Let us know how it goes when you tried some of the older versions.

 

[KieX]

Newest i7 build is complete! Just need to find a nice overclock/temp setting and then after some good stability tests I should have it up and crunching tomorrow.

3.8 GHz is usually the sweet spot. Good luck.

So that's 3 i7s now?

Awesome to see everyone stepping it up!

indeed, we gotta step it up big time like the F@H guys did. I mean we did step it up, but we need to step it up even further! I'll be doing so soon, so let' see what the turnout looks like.

I didn't get the opportunity to even talk about setting up the Macs today, but that's still right on the top of my list of priorities

 

[p_o_s_pc]

what do you guys think 2 AII X3's @3.1ghz(or more) would do? considering a couple of them and a board or 2 that can possibly unlock them to quads to go in my project i hope to start.(not sure if i will have the funds)

I'd estimate ~1.5k each @ 3.1ghz

That's what I'd like, but this is mATX i7 so it's probably not as easy as with the other rigs to get that sweetspot. 3.6GHz and I'm happy. Any more and I'll be dancing.

So that's 3 i7s now?

3 i7's and one part time C2D. 26 threads total I believe.

Aren't Athlons locked, and Phenoms unlockable?

True, then I'd say 3.6 GHz is your sweet spot in this case. Oh and great thread count!

 

[p_o_s_pc]

Some of them can be unlocked to PII's and some of the AII X3's can unlock to AII X4's or even a full PII X4. Not the AII X2 is it's own die and can not be unlocked to anything.

possible chips to unlock and what they can be

Sempron 140/145-AII X2
Athlon II X3--Athlon II X4 or PII X4 or PII X3(unlock L3 cache but not other core)
Athlon II X4---Phenom II
PII X2---PII X4 or PII X3
PII X3---PII X4
PII X4 8xx--PII X4 9xx(unlock extra L3)
i think that is about all of them

Well, thanks to a fellow member, I'll be replacing a 2.4GHz Celeron 430 with a 2.16GHz Pentium Dual-Core E2140 (1066 BSEL mod is going to be done).

Anyone want my Celeron? $10 and it's yours. I can remove the BSEL mod if you want.

im about to upload 96 units of work to the grid,i hope it doesnt crash it

I mentioned a couple days ago to FIH that you wanted an E2140 Glad you got your hands on one.

There is also the Athlon X2 5000+ that unlocks to full Phenom II w/ 6MB cache. Hard chip to find, but it is based of the Deneb 45nm Core

Sounds like 26 to me....and probably a good 14-15k PPD

That's quite an upgrade for that system!

Awesome! I hope you stick with us!

how long from the time i upload to WCG will i see the reflection in points on free dc?

the way WCG works to validate the units it could be a matter of hours or days before you see it.

 

[twilyth]

the way WCG works to validate the units it could be a matter of hours or days before you see it.

Also, WCG only updates the stats that Free-dc and others use 4 times per day - roughly 10am, 4pm, 10pm and 4am. The stats sites grab the new stats as soon as they're available and then it takes a certain amount of time (less than an hour I think) to update their databases.
