I've already switched my rigs over to all projects. Should be fun

I'm still pursuing badges in CEP2 and HCMD2, but after I get my sapphire in HCMD2 I think I'll switch to HCC or something. More badges

 

[Chicken Patty]

Update, another challenge has started. So far we have some big guns who joined for this challenge, putting us in fifth place.

Hmmm. My plan was to take down the Q9450 once I had the new 1090T set up as my new HTPC. I have a few other cpu's and a bunch of memory to sell and figured I would do it all at once. But I guess I can keep the q9450 up for a while. It always takes a few week for me to get my shit together anyway so . . .

So if this is scored on WUs turned in, not points, it would probably be most advantageous for me to stay with HCC. On most of my systems, they're by far the fastest WUs there are, even if the PPD is low

I want it!!!! Let me know when you wanna sell it. Please!

OK, calm down. I'll reserve it for you but it will be at least a couple of weeks. How long is the challenge for? I'm guessing just for November. If so, that should work out well.

In the meantime I have Phenom II 940, a 9600 (with TLB erratum) and I think an Athlon X2 4200

 

[Chicken Patty]

Well it's to replace a C2D, a few weeks is fine. Buyer shoot me a PM when ready.

 

[[Ion]]

This to replace the E6300 CP?

I haven't had an opportunity to talk to the guy about setting up the Macs yet, but I will do so ASAP

 

[Chicken Patty]

Yes Kai, exactly.

Can I also interest you in a fine, late model mobo and some DDR2 ram? Both can be worn as a pendant on a heavy gold necklace to make a very hip fashion statement.

 

[Chicken Patty]

I already have a mono and RAM though . But, if the deal is tempting enough I can build perhaps another rig.

Don't you worry Sol! I've hired the right people for this job!

What are your projections as far as overall standings, where do you think we will finish?

 

[[Ion]]

I'd say probably No2 or No3....1 seems impossible, either 2 or 3 seem very doable (and I'll do my best to see us through to a top spot)

Yeah, same exact thing I was thinking, hoping for 2nd though.

 

[[Ion]]

I don't see why it shouldn't be possible if we do our best

Then let's do it!

Remember, a rig should come online on my end tomorrow, not much but something! About 4,200 WCG points.

Definitely something....and HCC seems to do WUs the fastest for me

Hmmm..... How are they as far as credits?

On the PentDC systems @ school, they pull about the claimed credit, so about the same as everything else.

On the Ubuntu system, they claim ~30 credits each, and get like 15. Which still translates in to ~650 PPD, so that's not too bad. Ubuntu seems to do WUs fast, but not get very many points for each, so the PPD is about the same as Winblows

I might have to give that a try.
