Benchmark Scores No benchies, just a cruncher:)
All in I have spent in excess of 20-000 by now (hardware and running costs).
I would rather do this than contribute directly (financially) to charities as I know exactly what is going where.

True, crunching is a gamble that we all hope will pay off in the future.
But it is also something I enjoy.

Direct contributions to charity are a bit suspect to me......so much goes on admin costs and who's to say where the rest winds up.

At least this way, personal greed/corruption isn't a factor.

I pay monthly amounts by direct debit.....about £150 per month currently but with the extra hardware online will have to bump it to £200.

But then a fair bit of that usage is down to 2 teenagers in the house :twitch:

As an aside..........one thing that would help us crunchers would be FREE/discounted Windows licences.
I emailed Microsoft years ago in this regard but got no reply
.

Ubuntu runs well, easy to install and set up.....ran it for years:D

only have 18 cores now:eek:

Well, just counting processors:

At home I got

laptop's Q9450 = 4
my 8400 = 2
kid's 1800+ = 1
a 'spare' rig with a 1900+ = 1
my little Pentium 2 mendocino... = 1

At my work (they're mine too)

Q9400 = 4
E7500 = 2
E6320 = 2
E4300 = 2

Uhh, that makes 19 cores.
Counting GPU's as well, laptop's got 2, then there's the 8800GT on my rig and FX5500 on daughter's, an MX440 on the 1900+ and an Nvidia Vanta 16MB on the Mendocino if that counts as a core!
That makes 6 active GPU's.

Add the GPU cores to the CPU cores that's 25 in total.

(Oh I didn't count inactive stuff on the shelves, like the 5000 BE which's another 2 cores, a 9800 Pro - 1 core.... and well there's too much junk really which I should be getting rid of...)

I had figured were were considering a "core" to be a "processing unit" - in which case, I'd say GPUs count . . .

as well as APUs (Audio Processing Unit) :D

Not to be a pedant but I would say that if the gpu is incapable of crunching or Folding it doesn't qualify!!!

Sorry no IGP's or TNT2 64's.:laugh:

@mike........yes I have dabbled with Ubuntu/Kubuntu and Fedora.
